He was not the primary and not an athlete and no LOA. He was however an AOG scholar, but it's my understanding only a few Of the AOGs received nominations in this "first" wave. I would say his outstanding performance first semester at Marion secured his position this first wave. And I do...

My DS received a call this morning from Congressman congratulating him on his appointment, told it would be mailed this week, he is at Marion for Civil Prep as part of SAP scholarship. DS received straight A's his first semester and kept up on extracurriculars etc. hope this helps, I remember...

Yes, to put in perspective, they enroll about 400 cadets annually, they shoot for 52% in state and 48% out of state. After you remove the athletic recruits, you have about 150 slots for both in and out of state. Many of my classmates if they were to enroll today would not get in due to the...

I find it interesting that these are considered "backup plans". My roommate at VMI had an appointment to the Naval Academy and chose not to go, graduated First Jackson hope (Valedictorian) and went on to become a Marine Officer, currently a Senior Major. I hoped my son would go to VMI, we...

My son took Spanish all 4 yrs and used it to become fluent and help translate in poor communities. When he did his nomination interviews, he introduced himself then reintroduced him self in Spanish (we prepped this) their jaws dropped and on one board they talked in Spanish for a few minutes...

My DS will be attending MMI, which we chose from a recommendation from our liaison and researching the other schools. They all have merit, but it is my understanding that 20-25 which represents 70% of AOG scholars will be together there. They group them together which makes for a great...

We did not receive anything in the mail but DS emailed Col Whitmore and he sent a copy of the letter, DS did not receive any Institute scholarship so 4yr Army is all he has, bummer best of luck to others!

Col. Whitmore shared with my DS that they were mailed last Friday and we would be notified either way. We did not receive anything in the mail today, so I am assuming that we will get something by tomorrow but I've never seen the mail take so long.

Sure and all cars get you to your destination, you might be forced to buy one in your price range but let's agree a Ford Focus is not a Range Rover. So again bravo to everyone and pursue the "best" route for you financially and personally, I have no doubt you will make a great officer!

My DS was notified his CP offer was in the mail Friday. I can share for those hoping/waiting that we were asked if we would take it about a month ago, since DS has a 4 yr AROTC scholarship(2nd board), WP gave us 24hrs to decide stating that they would only give out if he 100% planned to take...

Saw this a few minutes ago; Class of 2019 update - as of noon today, 967 candidates have accepted appointments! Congratulations! https://www.facebook.com/westpointadmissions

Maj Charles Cook, who is our State and District Coordinator for Florida. My DS emails with him back and forth.

FYI, my DS was just informed via email that his CP offer will be in the mail tomorrow. We never received a TWE or updates online and have just been waiting patiently. Hopefully anyone else who hasn't received the TWE is in the same boat.

@WashingtonMom where did you see the application status change. The only place I see status is under DS Medical, otherwise I don't see this word in the portal. Could you be descriptive on page and location for me, thanks!!

@2015Dad How did you find out? Did you get the letter from the AOG? Or did you see this in your portal? My DS was told that he would be receiving one as well, but we haven't seen anything come through yet, no TWE like many other posters have stated they received. So just anxiously waiting.

I would recommend going to the summer program if you can.

Ok great, let's see what happens next week!

Yes, his Army scholarship is showing and nothing else at this time, but will check it now that we know.
