They don't count for anything in terms of the WCS but it could raise some red flags, say, if you said you wanted to go to USMA primarily for the free education or whatever. Since there's no effect on the WCS, no points will be deducted but it's best to be as concise, clear, and grammatically...

How difficult was it to adjust to PT?

While they will not give an official decision before college transcripts are received and reviewed, it's still possible to get LOA because of hs transcript, act scores, leadership experience, anything that really strikes them (according to my BGO).

I had the same question for USMA but since I have IB/AP credit for English, I was given the choice. I think it depends on if he has prior credit as well that he can show to USNA.

Thanksgiving definitely saved me on multiple applications! I still can't believe how many things I got done in 4 days vs 4 months...

The way I did it was use word or excel to write down what exactly each school/program needed for the application (essays, act/sat, writing supplements, common app vs school app, etc) and the deadlines. Then, I devoted 2-3 hours a week to finishing all the components throughout junior year...

Thank you!

Thank you! Does it have to be the original report or can I request a copy? We were evacuated from Saudi Arabia (birth place) after 9/11 so there's a very good chance I don't have the original report.

I was born overseas but I am American by birth (father is American). In the upload documents section of the application, the drop down menu says that I need to upload "proof of citizenship", along with my birth certificate. Is the birth certificate not enough or is there a particular form I...

I'd go with whichever can speak to your/DS's/DD's leadership capability, responsibility, character, military motivation, etc. best. For me, it's c just because I've spent the most time with my teachers and they know who I am best.

I really couldn't say how long it will take. All my ALO said was they have been getting a lot of transcripts and that it might not show up right away. I checked in with my ALO via email if they had been received about a week and a half after I sent it and she said she would tell me when they got...

If it's official, you can email admissions and ask them for an address to mail it to. My ALO gave me directions on this and it worked out fine. It did, however, take 3+ weeks for them to get it. Apparently, they're in the process of sorting out a lot of transcripts right now.

Does anyone know if we need to add "Camp Buckner" to the address we're mailing to?

As a recent high school graduate (class of 2016 woo!) who did many honors courses, took IB courses and got my IB Diploma, and completed multiple AP courses (Calc BC, Physics, Chemistry), I have some advice. You WILL be busy. That's not a lie or an understatement. If your schedule is anything...

Will do. Thanks USMA_ljm!

https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Candidate-Fitness-Assessment.php Here are the maximum scores for each gender. I can't seem to find the link that posts the averages (maybe someone else knows where that is) but you should be shooting for those maximums regardless. I think submitting these scores...

I assumed it might be something like that but at least they only have 2 (albeit tiring) weeks left. Thanks!

A friend of mine is at Beast right now and has expressed a lot of appreciation over me writing him letters. We talked on the phone yesterday (seems like all he's gotten is 10 minute phone calls unfortunately) and he sounded worried over the possibility of not receiving any letters after March...

Does USMA have anything similar to Webguy?

Thank you! I owe it to my great Calculus teacher and hard work.
