Good Morning; It is now April, and perhaps you have heard nothing since completing your submission in November. Please know that you are still Schrödinger's Candidate: you will either be accepted or you will not be accepted and there is no predicting which way the decision will go...based on it...

I am sharing this again because it is as relevant today as it was the first time I posted it---which was on the 21st of APRIL!!!!! of my 2LT's senior year of high school. Good Morning All. Four years ago today the BFE arrived at our home. My firstie cadet had received no letters, no phone...

Good Evening All; This was just released and it might help those of you who are worried about appointments or about what will happen if you get sick. Here is an update from LTG Williams. Best wishes to all. I hope you are staying healthy, staying strong, and staying focused. Go Army! Beat...

@usma2021 You asked for it...here it is. This map was on the red brick pillar as the line wended around and finally you all came under the shade just before you entered Ike. Long, long, long day!

Good Morning All. This is for the candidate and parents who are still waiting. We see you, we hear you, and we have been you. This month can be incredibly daunting. Perhaps you have heard nothing for three or four months. You can convince yourself that it is not going to happen for you. You...

Good Morning- So, it is April 1st--and you (or your son or daughter) are still Schrodinger's Cadet (maybe/maybe not). April can be a long month--do not lose faith and do not lose your mind. The only certainty is that you will hear something in the next 30 days. It may seem as if everyone else...

Ladies and Gentlemen; I would be remiss if I did not share this with our families who might have cadets or mids thinking about becoming physicians but there are also siblings who might be considering medical school. Please read the following and think about National service as an affordable...

Good Afternoon All; I am not sure where else to post this on the forum--for rising high school juniors and seniors--so current sophomores and juniors. Below is the link to the application for the Marine Corps' Summer Leadership & Character Development Academy which is a nationally competitive...

Good Afternoon. #3 is getting a late start on all of this. The Certificate of Authorization...to whom does that get mailed? Can it be scanned and uploaded? Should he attach the 2K deposit and send it to the address for that? (Is there a form for that?) #3 did not receive any envelopes and...

Good Evening All- While a bit too late for current applicants, the members on this page who are going to reapply or juniors or younger might be interested in watching and asking questions. Great initiative in using this platform by USMA Admissions. Go Army!

Good Afternoon, 1735 EDT, #3 just said that he got an endless spin and a blank page when he tried to access the USNA portal. Is he alone in this computer glitch or is it a form of group therapy for the afternoon--for everyone still hanging out confidently but maybe a bit nervously on the CPR...

Good Evening...Is it just at my house but #3 says the portal is down. Anyone? #3's PE Teacher from Fresh and Soph year retired...the appointed agent from his school received the request in November and still the portal does not show a submission and #3 talked to him again and wanted to check if...

Good Evening- After a technical glitch, #3 just became eligible for his AROTC PMS interview this afternoon (apparently, having 'pending' in your activities record keeps you from being interview eligible...but he has it fixed now). At this late date, does he try to go to VMI (his number one...

Good Evening- After a technical glitch, #3 just became eligible for his interview this afternoon (apparently, having 'pending' in your activities record keeps you from being interview eligibile...but it is fixed now). At this late date, does he try to go to VMI (his number one choice but two...

Dear All; DS accepted his appointment--and he showed me the portal where he needs to have the police check, the birth certificate, the dental check, the parental waiver (Captain America will still be 17 in July), vaccinations, etc. Are there forms for that? In true parental fashion, I...
