Do I still need to complete and submit this form even if I do not have a DOD ID? The form indicates that only those with DOD ID's can fill out the form, and so I just wanted to clarify (my overnight visit is on 2/10).

What are the daily schedules during Beast like? Is everyday kind of "hardcore" or are there some days that are a little more "laid-back"? Also during Beast, are we allowed to do laundry? If not, I'll have to bring a very large amount of underwear and socks😢

Also, how many candidates are scheduled for one overnight visit together?

Hello all, I was appointed to the USMA class of 2026 several weeks ago and I just scheduled an overnight visit for February 10th. I had a few questions regarding the agenda, as the information follow-up email was slightly confusing. 1) Just to double check, the overnight stay occurs at the end...

Hello all, I received an appointment to USMA Class of 2026 a few weeks ago and I had a few questions regarding personal technology at West Point. 1. Does anybody know specifically what model of Dell laptops are issued to cadets? Are these laptops new or used by previous classes of cadets? 2...

I had slightly high blood pressure as well, almost completely due to genetics (my father's side of the family has a history of HBP). I am a varsity athlete in cross country and track, and so I consider myself to be in good physical shape. To prepare for my DoDMerb medical exam, I went on a...

Update: I received my official appointment to USMA West Point yesterday! Thank you all for your help and guidance.

Thank you!

Thank you! I am from the Far West region.

Update: I forgot to mention earlier today, but yesterday morning I officially earned a nomination from my congressional district office!

Wow, that was extremely insightful and thorough! I truly appreciate your time and efforts, and I will take your words and advice into heart. I will be enjoying my time at home as much as I can until (hopefully) my appointment to West Point. Thank you!

Thank you! I will definitely do just that.

Thank you! A master's degree in Criminal Justice is something that I have also considered and will continue to keep in mind along with my interest in law. I want to further these two interests during my time at West Point if I am appointed in order to clarify my future life goals. I would be...

Thank you! This is the most ideal path that I will always continue to strive for, but I understand that it is absolutely no easy task. However, I am prepared and determined to make it happen to the best of my ability. Working in the CIA, Pentagon, etc. would allow me to work for the American...

That is also a path that I heavily considered, but I do want to serve as an officer in the Army very much. I failed to mention it because of my specific question regarding a specific curiosity that I had, but I do understand the responsibilities and roles that come with attending West Point, and...

Thank you for your words, I truly appreciate it.

I wish to attend West Point because I resonate with many of the cadets there in wishing to "be part of something greater than myself." My grandfather was a colonel in the Republic of Korea Army and served during the Vietnam War, and growing up, I always wanted to follow in his footsteps, but...

Hello all, I am currently sitting on top of an LOA and I am fully qualified academically, physically, and medically. I had my Congressional Nomination interview this past Saturday and is just waiting for that result. I have been long wanting to attend West Point and in terms of my career I...
