I understand the issue with the civil prep program and the view point that it may or may not improve my DS chances for West Point admission. Yes, they do offer help to increase test scores. In the end it merely comes down to the fact that his end goal is to be an officer in the army. If he...

Does anyone know if you accept a scholarship into the army early commissioning program (ECP) at a military junior college if you can still seek an appointment at West Point? We have been given the impression (told by the school) you can't but it doesn't make sense when enlisted personnel can...

We were told that if he agrees to the ECP program he signs on at that point and transferring to West Point isn't an option. They made that very clear and explained it was the difference between the jr college versus a 4 year college. I guess I'm taking their word on that? I really appreciate...

My DS has 3.87 GPA and 29 composite ACT (super scored above 30 in every category). We have asked several questions of his RC and FFR with no response. He was able to get responses earlier on in the process as to which college courses to take during his high school year but nothing since. I think...

Mom3 boys... I agree. He did start his ROTC scholarship but never finished. We refused to do any of it for him. The commander at valley forge even questioned him on it saying he would have for sure got it if he would have finished the application. Unfortunately sometimes you must learn from the...

Anyone choosing to do self-sponsored civil prep after learning they were QNS? Haven't heard anything on AOG (or anything else for that matter. Communication with RC and FFR has been minimal at best) so my DS has looked into self-sponsored civil prep at Valley Forge. This is one of the approved...

My DS also got the portal update with the TWE. Heartbroken for him but I know God has a better plan. My brother in law graduated from West Point in the 80's and went to a year of college at OSU before he went. He said it was the best thing he could have done and was that much more mature and...

My son had an excellent experience there. He said it was one of the best things he has ever done. When I asked him to rate it on a 1-10 scale he rated it a 9. Said it would be a 10 if it wasn't so hard but knew that was the intent of the program. It solidified his choice to go there and made us...

My son didn't hear until mid March last year that he got into SLE and he applied at midnight of the first day the app was open. You've got plenty of time to hear something. Hang in there and good luck! Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app
