That watch would be fine.

I wouldn't worry too much about trying to learn the knowledge ahead of time. The other books recommended on here are both excellent. Another good book written by a graduate is Hope Unseen. Depending on what your interests are, I have five shelves of leadership, military, history, and other...

Bearcat34, You cannot go into the Psychological Operations field immediately after West Point. At about year three as an officer (about three years after graduation), you will be able to apply for selection into this branch. There is first an application process, then a physical...

From West Point for those interested: There will be some early offers of admission that will be sent out in early-mid FEB (i.e. LOAs, Principal Nominees). Like last year, you can expect a majority of the offers to be sent out in late FEB/early MAR to mid APR (once we have surpassed the file...

I saw a message from West Point that most will likely go out in mid February. However, I have not seen a hard date yet.

Congratulations on your Presidential nomination. There is not one answer to your question that is true for everyone. It is situationally defendant. Some of the nomination committees will not nomination someone if they already have a nomination for that specific academy. The intent is to give the...

You only need one nomination to get into an academy. However, some nomination sources can increase your chances. I am speaking in terms of USMA, which is what I know. I don't have enough knowledge of the other academy processes to comment on theirs. What I mean is this... each nomination...

Congrats on the LOA! Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find the information you need/want on here and the many other resources. If you ever have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I know I asked a ton when I went through the process.

Congrats!

Yuk year was by far the worst for me academically as well. The courses are generally more intense than Plebe year classes and more is expected from a Yuk. Plus, Yuks have additional responsibilities that take their time, such as mentoring the Plebes. As LongAgoPlebe said, Yuk year is where...

Just keep doing you best. I was much better at the ACT too and it worked out just fine for me. I'm sure you'll do well.

And remember to focus on the sub scores and not just the overall score. A low score in one area could hurt you even if your overall score is high.

The PSAT scores will not matter. Your ACT and/or SAT scores are what counts.

I don't think the class would help you, though it would also not hurt you. However, if you have an option to take an additional math, science, or English class, I would do that.

I had two wisdom teeth in when I went to West Point. My Yuk year the dentist suggested I get the removed due to how they were coming in/crowding. I had an awesome experience with the West Point dentist who took them out. In fact, the West Point dentist did a much better job than the one who...

Well, whatever they call Freshmen over there, then. I'm just used to the USMA terms as that is where I went.

Enjoy the amazing ride!

Best of luck and welcome!

The higher level classes are great to take. They look good and more importantly will help you get ready for the ACT/SAT and the Academy. I would work on getting your GPA a higher, though your ACT/SAT score should play a much higher part. You sound like you are on track when it comes to clubs...
