If my brother is marginally qualified (grades at 3.6 GPA) and prob wont get in directly out of high school, is there an advantage to not applying his senior year and doing a year at CC to demonstrate academic strength, or should he apply and prob get rejected then go to CC for a year and...

I have not heard anything

My wisdom teeth are schedule to be removed on the 17th of May and I called DOD MERB and they said this is not an issue unless infection sets in.

I received mine today for UVA for 4 years.

You must be my father cause that is what he is telling me. Regarding my top 10% I was shocked to see my class ranking. The standard deviation is very small and competition is so tight. I believe my school graduates everyone in the top 10% (as long a above a 4.0) validictorian as a recognition...

I don't understand the geographic factor. That should be covered through the MOCs. Don't all the non selected candidates compete objectively in the NWP?

An insider has spoken, and you have no basis yet you still don't believe. My point exactly. You must be arrogant.

Now this is a person who speaks the truth. Diversity killed my chance. Look at my prior posts. A lot on this forum are in denial.

I too got rejected by USNA and talked to them the other day. They said that candidates from a 4 year college (not JC) are given more points on the whole candidate score and thus are look upon more favorably. So you would stand a good chance if you do well first semester at UVA.

Again I hear what you are saying and agree. I am sure that there are many qualified candidates. Getting the recipe right in the end is a fine goal. I work for many years to ensure that I would have a uber high WCS to compete in the national pool in the event I could not secure a MOC nom (which...

I have seen your posts before and I am in agreement with you. The process that I went through to gain an appointment was difficult as it was but to realize in the end that preferences exists for some whimsical balancing act, made me sick. Though but 18 years old, I will never get over this...

If you mean an organization that on the one hand promotes the ideals of the constitution and its defense against all enemies foreign and domestic, and on the other, tramples on the first amendments and retaliates, then yes I do. My dad always told me the courage to speak out against the...

Admissions does have a tough job but they are certainly disingenuous to say the least just google what an insider says not the speculations from the outsiders of this forum: Professor Bruce Fleming

Is it the consensus of this forum that the apparent preferential treatment is getting worse? or is this just status quo and it is just "our turn"

Likewise there must be a big difference between Pres and MOC?? USNA sez so-explicitly. and that is why I didnt get in! "failure to secure a Conrgessional nomination"

I only got a Presidential- my district wont give a nom if you have a Pres nom. I didnt get in USNA but got USAFA.

Actually I am in same boat. 4.2 gpa, 3.85 unwhgt highly comp school, 9 letters (3 music, 3 academic, 3 athletic), work 12 per week at car dealership, science fair winner 2 years in a row, church group, 7 strong letter of rec one from admiral, internship, volunteer hours, NASS, CVW, max...

For those that got accepted (and I didnt-off to AFA) my dad will be selling some USNA psuedo-leather jackets. One is medium and the other two are large. PM me for photos.

I am shocked I didn't get in but I do have AfA so its off to CO Springs!

Myself and one other are from the same HS and both of us are in on a Presidential nom to the USAFA.
