Just curious if anyone knows what the average GPA (midpoint) is for a typical class at West Point? I saw a note from 2011 that it was around 2.81 for that year's graduates. Just curious if that is typical year over year? also, does anyone know what percentage of a class typically meets or...

I have heard that this is the last semester at West Point that cadets can qualify for the German Proficiency Badge. Does anyone know if that is accurate? and if so why? I have heard many cadets are trying to get qualified this semester as a result. What percentage of cadets earn this badge? thanks

just curious if anyone knows details about WP scholarship program? My Ds received an email that invited him to an upcoming briefing on Some grad school scholarships. He just began his yuk year so I was wondering how many cadets are participants in this program, how the selection process works...

I have heard about some cadets achieving the Recondo badge during CFT and there was discussion about what percentage of cadets achieve that? I understand it entails reaching certain scores on marksmanship, land nav, obstacle courses, CFT, etc so it sounds like one has to be very well rounded to...

West Point Cadet Captain pictured with Hillary Clinton. Even though the article itself is apparently about empowering young women (which I am all for as a proud dad of an amazing young woman) the magazine itself seems to be belittling the CIC through the editorial page and now Chelsea Clinton...

I was just curious if anyone knows if all new cadets (class of 2021 get a certain barracks?) Or is there any way to ascertain which barracks they will be in from their newly assigned PO boxes for their addresses? (I know we will find out in a few weeks at R day but just curious how that works)

Greetings everyone- I know this has been discussed numerous times in the past with somewhat conflicting information and numbers but does anyone have the current "value" of a West Point appointment? My DS has his high school exit interview this week where they ask him that and we are uncertain...

Hey everyone- just curious if there is any benefit to my DS taking AP tests at high school this spring in advance of USMA this fall? the tests costs $92 each (and he maybe looking at 4-5 tests) but just wondering if there is any value at the academy to these tests? I understand that placement...

Dreams coming true... My DS has dreamed of going to West Point for longer than he cares to admit to me. He also has the fortune of being a highly recruited athlete who has a 33 ACT so he has the true privilege to have his choice of schools from many of the top academic and athletic universities...
