The dilemma is his not yours. That may sound blunt but he has to choose the place that he wants to be at. We had a bit of a dilemma recently with my son who was nominated to both USNA and West Point and had a 3 year ROTC scholarship to a local University and was accepted to their Business...

My DS is a MS2 Army ROTC cadet. He was on a 3- year scholarship but injured his shoulder as an MS1 and it required surgery. He had a anterior a open Bankart repair done in August and a posterior pending in December. He is on limited duty and unable to perform anything other than light PT...

For those of us that had DD and DS in this pool it would be nice to know when others start hearing about applications submitted for EA II. Please note if they are an athlete to help with the flow of intel. Word from another thread is they should be hearing prior to Christmas. It will be nice...

How do you guys find the ingress and egress from the campus on breaks? I noted when my son did his Cadet for a day he had to Amtrak it in from another city after a plane ride. Not like he would turn down USCGA over it but curious about how others handle the logistics.

DS received the TWE two weeks ago. He was a strong candidate and was 3Q'd. He spoke to his reps in the area and it was interesting to find out the reality he faced. He has a great plan B and is accepted to a very competitive business school (500 per year accepted) and is still considering a...

Not to nit pick but there have been some pretty deep discussions in threads (too deep in some cases) regarding the 3Q'd odds of getting admitted and it appears that the % is closer to 50% than 25% as stated above. That is truly a wag by several from the previous class data and may have some...

We received a letter from the WP Admissions office this week. It was a bit cryptic in meaning. It says the following: "...has reviewed your application and you have been found fully qualified." "Although fully qualified, we have not yet received a nomination for you." "No offier of...
