WPPSE and AOG are the same thing, but to piggy back off of what you wrote, there is no application for it - your RC nominates you and then you either get offered or you don't.

For my DS I found YouTube to be a great resource if you cannot visit some or all of the JRMC's in person. He ended up choosing GMC because he spoke directly to various contacts at GMC and just got a great feeling from it. Also, Norwestern only has students for 1 semester and then you have to go...

What if we already have a valid pass from a previous visit? Can we skip the Visitor’s Center?

I’d be interested to hear what GMC says. Also, follow up to see if he goes right into waiver status with DODMERB.

@2027proudMuti my son has accepted GMC as a sponsored Civil Prep this Fall! How challenging/rigorous is it? He’s ready, but 2 things have come up in discussion in our household… 1) should he study and expext to take the SAT again? 2) should he open his candidate portal for 2028, or does it...
