Included in my admissables packet is a link titled "are you ready for west point mathematics?" It says that incoming cadets will be tested on their fundamental mathematics knowledge- makes sense. I have not had a math class in over a year and I am working on "re-igniting" my "mathness." It...

I understand this topic has been covered before, but I was unable to find the information I need on other threads I found. USMA authorizes a pair of black leather oxfords for $45.39. However, all I can find online are the durashocks for $140+. Does anyone know of where I can purchase the cheaper...

I already know i'm opening up a can of whup@$$ on myself for this one. West Point has(had) been my dreams for years. I was so set on this path for my life. In the past few months I have begun to have really bad second thoughts about going. Here are my thoughts; if you have anything to chime in...

So, this may be a totally unrelated thread, or may give some motivation to those applicants who hope to one day attend one of the greatest institutions on the planet. My story begins with junior year of high school. I had always thought about USMA, and what a service academy could offer, but...

I was triple q'd awhile back. Today in the mail I received a letter stating that I received a VP nom. I called WP on the phone, and the individual I spoke with informed me that I was 'low on the vp nom list and to pursue a plan b.' I am super confused right now. I thought there were only a total...

Well, my top choice of service academy is USMA. However, I received a nomination for USMMA. Is there anything that I could possibly do at this point? I am qualified for USMA. I did not think for a second that when receiving a nomination it could destroy my chances with my main choice. Thanks for...

I was just wondering if it possible to apply to both NROTC and Marine ROTC. I ask this because on the first or 2nd page of the NROTC online application it asks if you want to pursue Navy, Medical/Nursing, or Marines. I would like to apply to both if possible. Thanks for any and all input!

Today I received in the mail a letter stating that I was qualified academically and physically. What significance does this have? I understand that it is not an appointment, but would like to know if this is a 'mass mail' type of thing, or if it indicates a somewhat high chance for an...

So this may be a very silly question, but if your MOC has a competitive slate where they nominate 10 individuals, are you directly competing with the other nominees for an appointment? Or conversely, is it possible for more than one on a competitive slate to get accepted/appointed? Hopefully I...

I know that the interview with a liaison officer is optional, but I was wondering how many individuals complete the interview process and whether it is something that I should do to increase my chances of being appointed. Any information is appreciated. Jon

I was given a referred status. I think it is due to one low grade that I had during my junior year. My BGO told me that he put me on a list of "Blue Chip" candidates and that I will get a formal invite to an affair in my area. He also told me I can make my case directly to the Dean of Admissions...

So I found out about a week ago that I was disqualified medically by DoDMERB. However, I have revisited the DoDMERB site and it states: Pending Waiver Submission/Review on my status page. Also, on my USMA candidate portal page under Medical Status it states: Requested Waiver. Does this mean that...

So last night I checked the DoDMERB site and it says I have been disqulified for history of anxiety disorder which I think is total nonsense. I took an antidepressant 2 years ago for 3 months and now my mental stability is somehow now deemed inadequate? My question is this: what is the best way...

I just wanted to see how my CFA stacks up with others and whether my basketball throw and mile run are too low to be competitive CFA-wise. Push-ups:75 Crunches:95 One-mile run: 6:54 pullups:18 Basketball throw: 75 feet Shuttle run: 8.2 seconds

I took an antidepressant a little under two years ago for three months and I wanted to be completely honest so I made mention of it on my DoDMERB packet. I got a remedial back requesting me to send in the records of depression. I am perfectly mentally healthy and I am extremely worried that I...

The forms to-be found on the right side of the candidate portal are not there yet. Included will be the SOE forms. My question is this: If the SOE forms will not show up until mid-august, then does that mean I wont be able to use teachers from my junior year? I ask this because i will be moving...

I am a bit confused on when I take the fitness exam. Is it after I receive a nomination or before I even send them in? Do I include how I did in my nomination packet?

Hi, I know there are too many posts to count of individuals asking whether or not they have a competitive enough resume to be accepted for a nomination/admission. However, I am worried about the current state of my affairs and would like any and all constructive criticism and/or reassurance. I...
