equal oppurtunity. hmm, so you think that all races and ethnicities in this country were given equal oppurtunity from birth then? do you think b/c we are 'all american's' or whatever that everyone whether white, black, asian, hispanic, male or female historically and currently faced the same...

i don't know guys i just thought it was a pretty funny joke and didn't care whether he was violating a forum rule or what not, but if it's worth getting upset over i understand. The whole 'i was really drunk at the time...' and 'i'm not yet 18...' was good stuff in my opinion. its nice to...

brilliant, someone had to say it!!!! especially with the facebook pictures holding up the appointment, that's absolutely abnoxious and rediculous. you never see people holding up there acceptance letter to harvard or yale for good reasons. don't people look at your facebook profile to see the...

my guess is that you will still be in school during SLS which many people are and want to bring something to help you study for final exams or what not, if so i'm feelin your pain and can say that you have a tough choice to make. you can bring your laptop and use it to study and do work, or you...

yeah i'm going with beatnavy here, i'm looking forward to West Point just as much as anyone else, even probably America's Finest and i'll bet anyone who thinks it's going to be more fun then civilian college is going to be the first to take that back. that, or you haven't experienced the fun you...

the answer to your question is yes, your 10th grade transcript is more important, and 11th grade is way more important. Your freshman grades in fact will not likely hold you down at all, and if your 3.7 average is also comprised of several AP/Honors courses you are in very good standing...

many many people have gone through the same thing, i too went through the Dodmerb and waiver process with a big plus in the end for both Army ROTC and West Point so yes, DQ's happen and sometimes its just a long waiting process but remember every waiver is processed by the ROTC component or...

you asked some good questions that could potentially take DAYS to answer so i'll just mention the article you showed. all in all, West Point is great for some people, not so much for others. one unfortunate thing is you don't REALLY know if its right for you when you get there as you haven't...

true, 91 african americans will represent the West Point class of 2013, 127 hispanics as well. of these individuals i will go out on a limb and say that NONE identified themselves as under represented minority if they fell under your 2 to 3 percent standards above. perhaps you know a lot of...

chriscross: from what i've learned over the admissions process, USMA along with the other service academies feel that its important that the officers they graduate represent both the soldiers they lead and the american public they defend. Along with everything else that a candidate brings to the...

very true keep an eye out for the language on the forums though, lots of parents and service folks out there, r-e-s-p-e-c-t

no its not unethical, its a legal product and if you're sure its going to help you then by all means do what you feel is best. also you say your from CT, same here, what high school? i go to kingswood-oxford, a very stupid private school in west hartford. you're academics are solid by the...

I would say that college even w/o can AROTC can easily be very meaningful, valuable, and selfless depending on how you apply that oppurtunity. It also brings up the point that not all people who ship off to West Point are selfless heroes (aka none of them are), its what they decide to do after...

funny you should ask, i did the army swim camp in 2007 where i first met coach wender and lisa. it was an awesome experience and a lot of fun especially if you enjoy the academy. it's a great program for learning refining techniques on all strokes, it's not a training session persay and is not...

the only person here who is capable of giving you a straight answer is mr. mullen look for his email address on some of these threads (very easy to find) and send him a personal email, it'll probably be quicker if you tell him exactly what disease and what measures were taken. you might (more...

this is a wonderful article, i would have never been fortunate enough to see it if it weren't for the generosity of just a mom. its so hard to describe the ways in which i'm so excited to join west point's long tradition and heritage, this article adds yet another element. wonderful :thumb:

many many cadets would be in berkeley right now by that definition of 'code of the streets' , if they were ever in the 'presense of such stupidity'. having friends who do that, or getting mixed up in situations above ^^^ is not the same reflection of character as those who hit the bong every...

my bad pedro and usma, congrats on the forum joke big man

pedro, shape up, that was a terrible comment that was both off topic and tasteless. nuts4usma, usma wants you to join the long gray line, but you're going to have to seriously think about this choice as the military is perhaps the most difficult profession for someone who is LGBT. if its...

no, admissions will not snub you because you could not make it to sls, no question about that. in fact, same thing happened to me with the naval academy seminar, i wanted that week to train for swimming so i could stand a shot at getting recruited for Army Swimming and Diving, took the risk...
