Just curious if grad schools use only our academic gpa from West Point and not our entire gpa based on academics, military, and physical fitness?

I have been offered an appointment to USMA, and I plan to accept, but just to mention something. My doctor recommended I get my tonsils removed because they are swollen and after a CAT scan, he recommended that I have septoplasty to fix my slightly out of alignment nasal passages. Would these...

Anyone else have a new blue box on their portal that says official correspondence from West Point Admissions?

I just found out I received a nomination from TN-07, and I was wondering if anyone knew when the date West Point makes there decision for candidates for the initial slate, not the national waiting list? I have some additional information I need to send in, but since I'm out of school, I can't...

How exactly does one go about sending additional résumé information that has been completed since CAR was submitted? Does the information have to be signed by one's principal again, or can I just fax it to them?

I have my file completely finished except I am wondering if we need to have an interview with our MALO or FFR? I had a cadet interview at SLS and I am wondering if that means I don't need to have one.

I'm currently planning on having my overnight visit in early January because of all west chorus and other things in October/November. Could anyone tell me if there's a reason to have an overnight visit earlier, say before Christmas? Thank you

Since all three of my nominating sources (two senators, one representative) require a one page letter on why one wants to attend a service academy, and since we also had to write one for west point, do the majority of applicants who face this situation use the same essay for both?

Just logged into dodmerb and saw that my info was transferred today from Concorde to dodmerb. It said "data received 5 sept" then it also said it that it was reviewed today and that it was entered in. Verbatim, it says "Date exam reviewed" then "medical data entry.". Finally at the top it says...

While I was taking my medical exam I was told I did not need to take the reading test or do the urine analysis. Was I supposed to? The lady told me that the urine test no longer needed to be done

On my portal it says that I am scheduled for Dodmerb since the 15th of August, yet I have heard nothing on when this is to be or anything regarding this. Should I be waiting to receive an email, a phone call, or a physical letter? I know this could be posted under Dodmerb forum, but I wanted a...

When I send my ACT/SAT scores to my congressmen and senators for nominations, will they superscore them the same way West Point does?

Can one decide to submit their own personal resume in addition to the Candidate Activities Record?

Whose contact information are we supposed to enter in the area entitled "Candidate Activities Record" in the Candidate Kit? Thank you again to everyone on this forum who so eagerly answer questions.

Could the CFA be administered by any coach at my high school? As in, one of the coaches goes to my Church and it'd be easier to get in contact with him during the summer, yet he's only an assistant coach for junior high football (I go to a 7-12 school). Would he still be acceptable to...

For some reason, my portal is now open and I have received my second step kit and everything. I received an email from Colonel McDonald as well. Does anyone know why?

We have just been told at sls that the opening date of the candidate portal has been changed from July 3 to July 24. Just to share this news with all

Hope to see a lot of you at West Point this next week. Thanks for all the support. Good luck to everyone else competing for the class of 2017. One final question before I go though. If say I perform close to the average scores on most of the cfa, (please don't comment with something like the...

What should I do if I am currently in TN-07, but since redistricting for tennessee's congressional districts occured this year, I believe I will be in the 8th district next year. Who should I apply to for a nomination?

I have two questions. First, do SAT subject tests even matter for admission or are they only looked at to see if you should be placed in advanced classes upon being accepted. Second, would 55 feet suffice for the basketball throw. I've been working on it and it seems as if mine won't go much...
