    CBT 2017 Packing Question

    For the "sports-type wicking underwear," can it have a logo / writing on the waistband, or does no logos mean no logos whatsoever? I've heard conflicting reports.

    Admissible Packets

    When do additional Admissible Packets come out? I only have one available right now (out of 4, if I remember correctly), and was wondering if I'm falling behind. Is it simply as you finish each one, or is it at a certain time for everyone? Thanks.

    Purchasing Boots On-Post

    So I have ordered three pairs of boots, and none of them seems to fit quite right. I'll be driving in the vicinity of Fort Hood this weekend, and was hoping to go to one of the stores there so I can actually try on the boots. As an accepted candidate, am I allowed onto the base for this...

    X-Ray vs. Radiograph

    I'm in the process of scheduling an appointment with my dentist to complete all the dental screening paperwork, and I am a bit confused. In the "Instructions for Applicants Offered Admission" packet, it says that "X-rays in lieu of the above radiographs are not accepted." My dentist's...

    Running Shoes

    Are there any restrictions as far as color is concerned for the running shoes? And when it says they should be relatively new, does that mean they should not be bought until around May? Thanks.

    Points of Contact

    This may be a dumb question but I haven't been able to find anything about it on my portal or on the forum. Who needs to be listed in my "Points of Contact?" What will these be used for? Thanks.

    Go for it?

    I received my appointment to WP a week ago. Ever since I became interested in the Academies (about 4 years ago), I have been set on WP over USNA 99% of the time. Similarly, for the last several months, I have preferred WP over USNA. I have yet to even receive a waiver for USNA, and it could...

    Updating File

    If I have new information to add to my file, can I just email it to my RC, or is there another way I should get it uploaded? For example, National Merit Finalist, participation in school musical, giving a speech for NHS, etc. Would any of that have a bearing on my file?

    Contacting USMA

    Is anyone else having difficulty getting in contact with USMA? I emailed on Monday last week, called twice and left a message on Thursday, and have yet to hear anything back (I'm trying to make sure they have my 7th semester transcript). I've been able to get in touch with my RC, but he told...

    7th Semester Transcript

    Yesterday I received an Official Correspondence saying USMA was missing my 7th semester transcript, and that if they did not receive it by Feb. 28, they may close my file. I spoke with my college counselor, and she said they had been sent last week (I believe through Naviance, but I'm not...

    Waiver Approved?

    Hello all, I've been working towards a waiver for a shoulder dislocation and surgery for a few months now. This morning, during my hourly check of the big three (USMA portal, DoDMERB website, and SAF), I saw that under "Official Correspondence" on the USMA candidate portal, there was a PDF...

    VP Nomination

    I intended to submit my application for the Vice Presidential Nomination this week. I realize this is late in the process, but I have already secured three other nominations, one of which is a principal, so I was going to complete it solely because I marked that I would on my other nomination...

    Waiver Decision

    After turning in all the information (doctor's reports, etc.) necessary for a waiver, how long does it usually take for DoDMERB to reach a decision and grant the waiver?

    National Merit at USMA

    How does being a National Merit Semifinalist or Finalist work at West Point? Obviously there is no tuition so a scholarship is pointless, but I've heard that you can still be awarded money to your cadet account or something along those lines. Can anyone elaborate on this? Thanks.

    Class of 2021 R-Day

    Does anyone know when R-Day is for the Class of 2021? My parents have been asking and I haven't been able to find it on USMA's website. I think I read July 3 on the forum at some point, but I can't seem to find that thread again. Thanks.

    Principal Nomination

    Hello all, Yesterday I received a principal nomination to USMA from my MOC. I've heard conflicting reports, so I was hoping someone could clear this up. What exactly does the principal nomination mean? Assuming you are 3Q'd, does it mean you are guaranteed an appointment? Thanks!

    Shoulder Dislocation & DoDMERB

    So about two weeks ago I anteriorly dislocated my shoulder while playing football. It was not a severe dislocation; however, I had to go to the ER to get it reduced. Nothing was broken, and I am fairly certain nothing was torn (I got an MRI today, and will inform you all once I have a...

    SLE Courses

    Hello all, I'll be attending SLE Session 1, and on my candidate portal there is no indication of what courses / workshops I will be taking while at the Academy (that I have seen). Is this true for everyone else? Do they just tell us upon arrival? Thanks!

    C/O 2021 Application

    Hello all: According to the USNA Admissions website, the application opened on April 1. However, when I click on the link to go to the application, I am taken to a page that says something along the lines of "Please do not complete this form if you have already completed a Summer Seminar...
