Hey, guys! I've been accepted to the Class of 2019, and I think it'd be really sweet to be on West Point's Parachute Team. I heat it's "really" competitive, and very few make the team every year. To prepare, what should I expect to face when trying out for the team? What can I do now to...

Thanks, buff! Unfortunately, I'm thinking I may not get any other noms because of my Pres nom. Maybe the better strategy would have been to wait to apply for the Presidential after Congressional and Senatorial noms went out. Regardless, I'll do what I can to raise my WCS in any way I can.

Thanks for the info! It makes sense for the nominating sources to give their nominations to others without one. Before, I thought that was only the case for those hoping to get a Vice-Presidential Nomination. Also, I was wondering whether having multiple nominations will increase a candidate's...

I have been 3Qed as of late November, and I have had a Presidential Nomination since March, 2014. I understand Senatorial and Congressional Nominations are already being sent out, but I have yet to receive any. I'm curious whether having a Presidential Nomination may hurt my chances of...

I have received a Presidential Nomination and read on my candidate portal it is the Secretary of the Army who grants cadetship to candidates with a Pres Nom. Normally, I thought Admissions is who grants cadetship to those with the other 3 types of nominations, those who are 3Qed of course. Is...

I hope to see you there, man! Gratz on making it!

I live in District 8. My Representative is Jason Smith. And thanks, Cadet85, for the very useful information!

cadet85, thank you very much for the info! Of course, I will apply for all potential nominations, and do my best in the process, but I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say in this portion. What's the difference between a primary nomination and a regular nomination? Does a primary...

I understand that you need at least one nomination to be considered by USMA admissions, but does acquiring more than one nomination increase your chances at being accepted? Thanks!

Currently, I'm ranked 2 of 31 in my class (small school) 4.4 GPA 26 ACT (considering my highest scores) Plus, I have mostly core classes. I have much fewer electives, but I still need them to graduate. Does this sound like a strong schedule for senior year? --> College CIS, Chemistry...

Now what if you don't take Geography, Economics, or College Algebra?

Yep! I have 1 summer and 1 school year to take what I need. I'm trying to contact my liaisons officer, forums, etc. in order to find out what I NEED to do. I'd hate for USMA to deny me because of a class I didn't take in highschool.

I've taken math up to Trig and Calculus. I would've done College Algebra, but it's the same hour as Chemistry. Kind of a tricky situation :/ According to the list by 845, I meet all of the requirements besides Chemistry and Physics, plus, Geography and Economics. I take mostly all core classes...

Thanks for the speedy response guys! So I'm going to call Admissions tomorrow for some more solid info and required classes. I think I'm gonna need to take Spanish over the summer, then Spanish II during the school year (I haven't taken any foreign languages yet :/). The tricky thing is that...

I've read that West Point encourages high school students to take Chemistry and Physics, but are they "REQUIRED" courses for consideration for enrollment? And two foreign languages? If I only take 1 foreign language, will I not be competitive for enrollment? Thank you for any input!

Best of luck, guys! Thanks for the feedback :D

Hello, everybody! With the final acceptance emails sent out and SLE being only 7 weeks out, I was wondering who else was accepted. I will be attending the 1st week on the 7th of June and was hoping to see some friendly faces there from the forums! Congratulations to all of whom were...

Don't be discouraged! :smile: You are only a Freshman. You still have around 2.5 years left! Think of yourself as having a leg up on other candidates due to your early preparation. You seem to be on the right track, so if you keep your eyes on the ultimate goal of becoming admitted, you'll have...

Does anybody know when the $400 for SLE this summer has to be mailed in by?Does West Point offer extensions? Thank you!

I was on the live chat two nights ago with West Point, and they said that, at the moment, they have many more applications than seats available. But there will still be candidates accepted for another "2 Weeks" they mentioned.
