I have a friend who was deemed physically qualified for USAFA with a 51' bball throw. He was a weaker candidate than you (based on the info you provided) and no p-nom.

I am taking my CFA two weeks from now and have ran into a bit of a problem. I'm a swimmer/water polo player so I've assumed I would be in fine shape for the sit ups, but right now I find myself unable to get above fifty. I am having no problems maximizing the other events (even the bball...

Received a LOA recently. 35 ACT, in the equivalent of USMA's MA351 currently, minority, top 10% at prep school that routinely sends 30-35% to MIT/Stanford/Ivy.

Quick question... I received a LOA in the mail this past week. I am curious about one thing at USMA---I will have taken Calc I-IV, AP stats, differential equations and linear algebra coming in---will there be any further requirements? Planning on doing a chemistry major, and don't have much of a...

Curious about what your hook was---athlete, highly qualified minority, perfect scores?! Also, where are you from?

Thankfully I ended up getting in. Very gracious to whoever gave me the last second nudge!

Hey everyone, I'm just curious, what civil prep schools would you all recommend? I would say I'm very strong academically, but gotta have a plan B... I'm fine for the ACT (34) and while I'm not amazing in math, I'm in calc as a junior. English is my strong subject, so all these things would...

Yeah I'm hoping the whole 'no news is good news' saying can reign somewhat true. 34 ACT, decent athletics/leadership, good class rank (~7%). Worried that my athletic abilities might go overlooked as I've never earned a varsity letter, as we're one of those athletic powerhouse schools within my...

To people who got in: what kind of stats did you have? Although I'm looking at USAFA for school, I only applied to WP's SLE. Their selections come in a bit under a week, and I'm just curious.

Heard from a friend this evening this was one of the most competitive classes ever... As in, dramatic increase in app volume and average ACT score. Is there any truth to this, or was my friend just a bit disgruntled from not receiving an appointment?

Just curious (new to the forums) what does RC mean? Is it some type of regional counselor? Or a type of representative?

Thank you very much man. Definitely was a bit of a concern, but that description sounds good to me. I think the articles I read were written by people with incredibly thin skin.

To put it briefly, I'm a Buddhist. Would I face any type of religious discrimination at West Point? I am very casual and laid back about my religious beliefs, and will very rarely bring them up without being directly asked. Through a few articles I've read online, some atheists and...

Hey everyone, thanks for the intelligent and thoughtful feedback. Much different than some boards I've used previously. Definitely have hunkered down on my grades... My gpa/class rank are pretty decent because I'm taking mostly honors or AP classes, but I've gotten B's in the majority of them...

Thank you for your advice. I guess I wouldn't quite say emotional immaturity, but I feel like I could use another year to hone my study skills. Also, I believe if I had another year of preparation, I could compete athletically at west point... How would they respond to that? Also, to be honest...

Hello everybody, I'm a junior in high school, and I'm in a bit of a predicament. West Point has been my dream school since freshman year, based on academics, leadership preparation, cost, location, reputation and rigor. Currently, I believe myself very well qualified, with a 34 ACT score (will...
