First, allow me to congratulate your son on receiving two nominations - quite a feat! As long as the nominations show up in the Candidate Portal, there's no need to worry. In my case, I received a letter from my Congressman about a week and a half before the nomination was displayed on my...

Thanks so much, I sent you a PM.

Hey everyone, My candidate portal displayed that I had received a nomination from Congressman Lance (NJ-07) on January 4th. I have no idea about where I stand on the slate or what kind of slate Congressman Lance uses for nominations. Now, we wait. Good luck to anybody in the same boat as I...

If you haven't sent your SAT and PSAT scores from the College Board, that is absolutely fine. For the PSAT, simply typing in your scores will suffice because there isn't actually an option available to send these scores. However, if you wish to have your SAT scores included in your official...

Hey there, your Candidate Technician will probably tell you the same thing but make sure that you are using Windows when uploading your files. I normally use Chrome OS, but I ran into the same error and had to use a computer at school to upload my video files. Hope this helps!

https://www.usma.edu/admissions/SitePages/Summer.aspx The attached link will direct you to the Summer Leaders Experience page of the West Point Admissions site. At the bottom of the page, you will read that "In order to apply for SLE while the application window is open, you must first...

The class profile for the Class of 2021 can be found here: https://www.usma.edu/oir/Class%20profiles/Class%20of%202021.pdf. As to the original question, the Qualified section of the class profile pertains to those who have received a nomination and were deemed academically, physically, and...

If you took either the ACT or SAT with the writing portion, I would advise that you send those scores in as well. USMA requires all applicants to submit at least one standardized test score with the writing portion, so this will give you a headstart in the admission process for the Class of...

NJ-07 applicant here, have not yet heard back. Hopefully we will hear today or tomorrow. Good luck!!

Hey there, I submitted the last portion of my USNA application, the Personal Data Record, about a week and a half ago. The personal statement was the single most stressful and time-consuming component of the application for me, so I understand how the nerves can be getting to you right now...

I think that would be a great idea. I don't have groupme, but I'd definitely be down with a groupchat of some sort so we could connect beforehand. I'll be at SLE Session 1 as well- was going to attend NASS Session 2, but it conflicts with my final exams week. Go Army!

Hi everyone, I'm attending Session 1 of SLE, and I'm pumped to say the least. Does anyone know when we will receive our schedules detailing which workshops we will be participating in? I know we were all required to submit a list of preferences on our application, but I was wondering which...

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I guess I'm not entirely opposed to the proposition that I could in the future want to pursue a career as a pilot in the Air Force, but as of right now it's not something I have any interest in. As I've said, I have looked into other career...

Hopefully the absurdity of this thread's title will not dissuade you from giving me a chance to explain. Like a lot of high school juniors from around the country, I am beginning the process of applying to the United States Air Force Academy for the Class of 2022. I am already applying to...

Taken from the SLE Instruction Packet I and other candidates who accepted the offer to attend Session 1 received in their candidate portals: "Newark International Airport (EWR) – West Point provides free ground transportation for participants whose flights arrive at Newark by 3 p.m. Check in...

Hi everyone, I was overjoyed when I received an email today informing me that I was accepted to Session 2 of the Naval Academy Summer Seminar for this upcoming June. Navy is my first choice, and I would love to go and experience a week of quasi-midshipman life at the Naval Academy with other...

I accepted the offer to attend on Saturday and am planning on going the week of June 3-9. I was planning on doing NJ Boys State as well, but I'm not even going to bother applying anymore because that week is the same week as finals. I can't miss two whole weeks of June and hope to do well...

Here is a link to the New York Yankees 2016 Draft Sections: http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/team/draft.jsp?c_id=nyy. It's safe to assume SAS29 is not one of the athletes in this selection, given that the youngest player was born in June of 1998, making him over 18 years old and ineligible for...

I'll give it to you, I actually got a kick out of the idea that I would regard my stats as a "National Secret" because a) they're not spectacular and b) I'm not a prig. I am perfectly comfortable with sharing the scholastic, athletic, and extracurricular achievements that I provided on my...

Thanks so much, I am very excited to have been offered to attend SLE. I tried sending you a private message regarding my "stats", but I am afraid the system is not allowing me to do so. If you could change your settings so that I could start a private conversation with you, I would appreciate...
