    Plebe Packing List

    I know there have been a few threads on this in the past but I thought it would be a good idea to make a comprehensive list of: What to bring on I Day What to have parents send during plebe summer What to have parents bring during PPW I think there are some obvious items for all of these...

    Final HS Transcript

    In the PTR package, there's nothing saying that a final hs transcript is required to be sent to Admissions. Is it true that the academy doesn't need to see a final transcript for accepted candidates? If so, it it recommended to send it anyways?

    PTR-Disclosure consent for nom source

    I'm trying to fill out one of the many forms in the PTR packet, and I am not exactly sure what is the "norm" for release of grades and military performance information to my nominating source.

    Wristwatch Rules

    What are the rules regarding watches at USNA? Are personal ones taken during PS? Are they issued? I assume upper class and plebes can wear their own during the ac. year.

    I-Day/R-Day Dental Exam

    Do you need to take both ACT and SAT?

    I have taken the SAT a couple of times and I am happy with my scores. They are all at or above the posted averages for CGA (1420 R+M). Should I take the ACT as well, or perhaps a better question, do I NEED to take the ACT also to be considered for admission? Thanks for any input.
