I thought cell-phones were on the banned list and not to be brought to R-Day?

Don't mean to burst everyone's bubble... We just have to stop thinking about it. Relax for a bit, and get your mind off of overthinking was your status means. Plan for the worst, accept it, and hope for the best. I am CPR since JULY 3RD! Does it suck? Yes. Is there anything I can do? No. We...

Love this! Good luck to everyone! I'm not Irish, but today I am!

You believe that they have all been scored? What is the admissions board deciding on then?

That is correct. West Point's deadline is different than USNA. It is April 15. I talked to my congressman's office and they said the academy hasn't decided on ANY candidates in my district yet. That's the only information that I have. I am still pending.

I am very sorry to hear about your mother. I am still pending review. Plan C is also for a NROTC scholarship I received to Notre Dame. There is a possibility we could meet in person some day! Best of luck and way to stay positive for her and your futures. Best of luck!

Anyone else out there checking their CIS or these forums constantly now? I heard of other parents doing this and I always thought that that wouldn't be me. Few weeks later I feel glued to checking every two hours... The wait has been and still is on.. Complete Pending Review

I was in the same situation. I took the ACT 5 times... If you son really wants it, he will have to get to the "grind" and learn the content. My first ACT score was a 23 english, then 24 english, then 23 english, then 32 english, then 31 english. I retook it because of my english score. My aunt...

Still waiting as well! I looked into it and my congressional district sleight is yet to be reviewed, so I'm still in the running! I have to commit to West Point by April 15, will I be notified as Accepted, or denied to USNA by then? Is a wait list made after the April 15 deadline?

I am currently on Verizon on a joint plan with my sister. I plan on prepaying 12 months with her before I day until I'm out of my contract and can explore other options. Thank you for the idea!

It is very reassuring to hear from so many that my efforts should pay off in the long run. Other than this, my only short term goal is to turn my USMA appointment into a USMA and USNA appointment so I may become a midshipman. Fingers crossed from here on out. Thank you all for the advice on...

I wouldn't worry too much. My friends think I'm crazy for reading about finances during school when they're preoccupied with normal teenage things. I just always try to pick up as much information as I can so that way I can retire safely, have a family, and not have to worry so much down the road.

Hello everyone, I posted earlier about an insurance question and wanted to move a similar question to another thread to avoid confusion. Does USNA offer opportunities to open a ROTH IRA, 401k, or similar retirement plan? I have some money saved that I am deciding if it is best to invest now...

Thank you very much for the advice. I'm sure this question is around here, but in the current day is it smartest for a mid to open an account through USAA and NFCU? NFCU doesn't offer insurance like USAA which I would need; however, is NFCU easier to access at the academy? Ex. If I need to pull...

Hello everyone, I have a few questions to ask regarding insurance. As a mid are you required to pay an insurance premium for medical and dental? If you are injured during plebe summer do you get dropped from the class and do you pay out of pocket for any medical expenses? Once I leave should...

Thank you both for the thorough replies. I appreciate it very much!

Hello everyone, I am a prospective student for the class of 2020. My sister is having a wedding on Feb 11th, 2017. If I get into the academy will I be able to take leave for this? If so, is it required to wear a military dress uniform to such an occasion? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I have been offered an appointment to West Point for the class of 2020. My sister is getting married on February 11th, 2017. I was wondering if West Point gives leave to Cadets for events like this. If so, is it mandated that I wear a military dress uniform to such an occasion...
