Plebe year, DS could only go to the off post with geographical limit and in uniform but had to be back at 10pm (or maybe 11pm). They could not spend the night off post.

There were a number of 2023 branches this year outside the top 3 preferences. Heard about more than one female that was "force branched" Infantry after ranking it 17/17 and many of the females had Infantry well outside their top 3. The military makes a lot of decisions in the best interest of...

DS said there are so many rising Cow's outsourcing that they do not have enough personnel for Beast cadre. Anyone else hearing that?

The class of 2023 was about 1210 reporting for R-Day but by the Supe's presentation that afternoon, it was down to 1200. Probably down to 1125-1130 now.

Frankly, a 24 is going to be tough if you're not a recruited athlete. Have you tried the SAT? Some folks score much better on one test over the other. As others have said, take it as many times as you can. Superscoring is your friend. Ultimately, it will come down to your district but you can...

Curious about the Parachute Team and the tryout process. Tryouts for the Class of 2023 have begun and it is extremely competitive. This past Sunday (10/6) was the physical day and there were a number of cadets that quit but a good number that made it through. Does anyone have insight on the...

This is a confusing post. West Point admissions is incredibly sophisticated and knowledgeable about high schools, curriculum offered, competitiveness, etc. If your DD has wanted this since 6th grade (which sounds like some parental influence, IMO), I would imagine she (and her parents) would...

Good work, Nomak. You're odds of admission to some schools may decrease but your credibility and character has increased immeasurably!

You didn't read what Early Decision meant at the 4-5 schools where you applied Early Decision? Sorry but that is just idiotic.

Good luck to you and your DS!

Sounds like your DS is getting the #1 rank for Nomination IMO. MOC wants your DS to speak with a current Mid to fully understand and get excited.

What sport?

I will PM you (USMA 1994) once I have enough postings as what you are saying is VERY consistent with the feedback we have gotten. Also, I have tried to keep this posting high level as to protect the candidate, coach and process. I do not want to upset the apple cart or cause a problem for the...

According to the coach, candidate could win Principal or Primary Nomination which would result in an automatic appointment if candidate was not listed as a recruit because the MOC would still give a nomination to the Recruited Athlete but would not give the Principal or Primary nomination...

The communication from the coach indicated the coach was contacted by Admissions to notify the coach that candidate was #1 in district. Not sure why or the relevance but it lead to coach removing recruit status since the candidate would be viewed differently. Candidate has applied to all...

Candidate was/is being recruited for athletics but received a call from the coach who said candidate would be better off not being recruited because they currently rank #1 in their congressional district and have the best chance of an appointment being at the top of their district. Coach told...
