Hey guys, Just wondering, when does the portal say that the West Point app will open up for you guys? And is there anything we're supposed to do in the meantime?

Hi everyone, I realize the nomination deadline for current juniors is a little after summer; however, just as the Academies have rolling admissions, is it better if one sends his/her nomination application earlier? Thank you!

Hey armyhopeful, I heard that if your school doesn't rank, the admissions office uses only your SAT percentile for the academic portion of the WCS. If you think it will be beneficial to send in a rank, you should ask your counselor as he can probably manually make a rank for you.

Haha thanks! I'm just hoping sat scores count as much as the gpa.

Hey everyone, Just wondering, do the service academies only view the math and critical sections? My splits are 800 math 740 reading and 800 writing and I thought the writing score could help me out. Also, I'm not sure where I heard this, but is it true that the service academies solely use...

Haha thank you for the replies; however, I was wondering if there was a requirement for which teachers we get recommendations from. Does West Point or Congressman Garrett or both senators want teacher recommendations? I looked at the websites, but cannot find specific info regarding who exactly...

Hi everyone, I'm a current junior and based on how you guys have applied for your nominations already, are there any specific recommendation requirements to apply? (ie. you need to have a math, lit, guidance counselor rec?) If any of you are from district 5, can you fill me in on the...

Hey everyone, I'm currently a junior and was wondering who exactly we need recommendations from. I heard recs are supposed to be from math teachers, lit teachers, guidance counselors and chem/physics teachers but I'm not sure if that assumption is true. Thanks!

Hi McKenna45, I'm a current junior and I was wondering if you could tell me your stats from high school. I noticed you received an LOA so I wanted to see where I match up. Thanks!

Are the applications for all of the summer leadership seminars the same? I know the Air force app did not have any essays or recommendations.; however, I don't know for sure whether the West Point app for next week or the Navy app in a couple of days will require different material

Thanks for all the information! I was also just wondering what the actual application looks like and how much I can actually put on there.
