Handball!? I am senior in HS and recently was appointed to USMA and will be part of the class of 2018! I have run track for 4 years and have been a sprinter. Since I am not running the D1 times of WP, I've been looking at other sports. Team Handball has caught my eye. I would love to be part...

To answer the first question: The packing list is provided. You will get an email from admissions giving you all instructions and a list of items to bring. My recommendation is to pack warmly (just in case warm spring weather hasn't hit New York yet) and to look nice. I wore a button down shirt...

Oh.. Well mine says it was updated on 20 Mar.

Where does your portal say that? Mine doesnt say that.

Tug_boat is right. I got denied from SLE. But I got an appointment 10 months after being denied. SLE is a great opportunity to get a feel for WP. (I can't say so personally because I didn't go.) But it is partially a recruitment trip for prospective candidates and it also could be a way to...

I'm from VA and I went to Boys State last summer. I loved it! It was the best week of my life! I ran for attorney general and lost in the party convention :(((( But I participated in moot court and placed 2nd overall with my team! I took a lot from Boys State: leadership, an urge to serve...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I actually also happened to be there that tuesday for a candidate visit as well. However, it was the second day for my overnight visit. First off, I agree with your take on the food. It is easy to agree with the fact that it is not too enjoyable. That...

Thanks so much I am ecstatic! I am also proud of your son getting into the Naval Academy!

I received an LOE on 31 Jan 2014. I just came back from my overnight visit which was 24 Feb through 25 Feb. When I was leaving WP, I scheduled a meeting with my RC. In the meeting, my RC told me I was appointed. I then came home to the BFE waiting for me! Im not saying the same will happen for...

I am currently in AP chemistry as a senior. All I can say, is it is the only class I've ever been happy to get a B in. I had a 98 A in Honors Chemistry so I thought I was very good in the class, but the AP level is a different story! Last year the class was so hard, that collegeboard had it...

As of yesterday, I just received a Letter of Encouragement:smile:. I have already received a nomination from my MOC, and I have already received a letter saying my candidate file is qualified. How reassuring is it that I received an LOE? How good are my chances for receiving an appointment?

There really is no easy way to improve your scores. It will just take sheer hard work an dedication. If you want to improve your mile time, run every day. A good way to improve a mile time that transcends the average "running every day" schedule, is to run increments of a mile (like a 1/4 mile)...

Those stats show just how competitive admission to West Point is! I got a nomination and just got a letter saying I'm 3Q'ed so now all I can do is wait!

There is no harm from him going on a trip for 1 week. He should go. By the way, he still can do push ups, sit ups, and run while on vacation! And congrats!

Principal noms are nice to have. (I don't have one sadly) However, I believe that not having one is not the end of the world. If you're good enough, you'll get in one way or another.

deferred... I was deferred as well. I am not too sad, I do not mind waiting. However, I am worried because my senior year grades are lower than my freshman- junior year grades. I really don't want my errors this academic year to ruin my efforts of the previous 3 years.

evan411, My guess is that it is based on two things: competitiveness, and time of application submission. For those who applied really early (like in the summer) are hearing really early. For competitiveness, those who are obvious deferrals or obvious appointments or principal noms, they were...

Waiting... I am waiting for EA too. It is agonizing. I have been checking my portal and email every 5 minutes. Good luck to everyone! I hope you all hear back soon and positively!
