Did a quick search and couldn't find what I was looking for. I currently have TR Mountain Khyber Hybrid's (the ones USMA said we could get) and have been TRYING to break them in. I went on a 6 mile run with a 30lb pack on 2 days ago, and came back with horrific blisters on identical spots on...

Hey guys! Received my appointment and now am looking into opportunities while at USMA. Have wanted to go SOF my entire life, and I have heard things about Cadets being able to go to Ranger School and attend SFAS, albeit only a select few Cadets. Can anyone give me info on this?

I know of a candidate who was a reapplicant this year and received the TWE again. However, his situation is awfully curious. First time applying, received principle nom and triple Q. Still didn't get in. Admissions wouldn't give him a straight answer. Second time applying, received...

I am heading to Norwich this year for 2 semesters of college before I reapply to USNA and USMA. I will be in AROTC. Has anyone had experience with NU and reapplying to service academies? I have a visit this weekend, but any advice offered here would be great. :)

I am planning on reapplying and will be in Army ROTC on scholarship at my school. What is the process for ROTC applicants? Do I still have a BGO? Also, since I will be in an Army unit, is it still possible to receive an ROTC nom to USNA? Thanks!

Got the TWE I was told I'd be getting after the first admissions board met in September :/ in that period of time I got two nominations and almost felt like they were a waste since I knew I wouldn't be getting in... Chance I will be recruited to play football at West Point, but if that...

I am usually in frequent communication with my regional admissions officer, always asking for updates and such. A few days ago I received an Army ROTC scholarship and I asked my admissions officer if that was something worth adding to my file, and he directed me (for some reason) to the sprint...

Since I will most likely be reapplying, I was just wondering if a HS record with a 3.5/4.0 GPA can be outweighed by a year of As in Plebe courses at college. I had some Cs on my report card and that is what my admissions officer said really hurts. It sucks seeing as how I'm nearly maxed on SATs...

Hello all, I have read through a great bit of writing regarding the process of reapplying and I am pretty much 100% on everything. I am going to Virginia Tech starting in the Fall of 2013 (assuming I don't get into USMA or USAFA). I will be in NROTC. I have heard a good bit from my Boy's...

Just got a letter from Senator Casey today (PA). It states that the board was incredibly impressed with my credentials and WOULD have been given a nomination if I did not already have one from my Congressman (Todd Platts (now Scott Perry, PA 19 (which has just been redistricted to PA 04))...

How likely and/or feasible is the prospect of a Cadet/Mid at one Academy trying to get into another Academy during their Plebe year? In other words have there ever been instances of young men or women doing a year at one Academy but decided to reapply to another and do their whole first year...

Hello all, I am in PA19 which is a very competitive district. I had a meeting with my RC during my CVW and got a good look into where I stand. About 40 kids applying, I am in the top 5, and could go up further when my new class rank comes in with new grades, and the upcoming Dec. 1 SAT. He...

Just got my October SAT scores back, and was very dissappointed, even though I improved (only my reading). Really wanted to get that math up. Critical Reading: 800 Math: 660 Writing: 700 M+R: 1460 Comp: 2160 I am registered for the December test date as well. To any MALOs or...

I have my interview tomorrow with Congressman Platts' nomination board. I'm confident in my speaking skills and my reasoning but just wanted to know if there are any tips on interviewing with nomination boards. For instance, what type of questions could they ask to curveball me, etc.? I've...

Any PA19 applicants here?

Greetings to all, I found out several minutes ago that I have been rejected, already, from the USNA class of 2017. I have no idea, nor does my BGO, how or why I have already been rejected. I havn't even been deemed unqualified. Simply 'R' rejected. I have a 3.35GPA w/ all honors and AP...

I just received a CVW. How much do these play into my chances of an appointment? I have heard around 100 CVW's are sent out. But then again, this is the internet. Regardless I am very excited! I already have a Presidential nomination, so I am really hoping for a big envelope in my mailbox...

Hey guys, I'm going into my senior year at a very competitive public school in PA, and am nearly done with my USNA application (USAFA and WP as well) and need a little feedbacl/advice on what to think about my chances. I'd first off like to state that I will try to keep this short and...

I've been lurking around these forums for about a year now. I'm heading into my senior year and am chest-deep in the ROTC and Academy application procedures... I'd like to start off and say that these forums are fantastic resources for aspiring Midshipmen/Cadets. I recently attended Keystone...
