    Questions about Class of 2021's Beast (Summer 2017)

    I'm a member of the class of 2021. The only thing I've done so far at the Academy is complete CBT and survive my first few weeks of academics (particular verbs were selected for a reason there.)

    Validation of AP Lit and AP Lang

    I scored a 4 on the AP Literature exam and feel confident I could excel at the validation exam (you take that during CBT in order to validate that course, right?) This year I am taking AP Language and I think it looks like I am going to get a 4 or 5 on the exam. I have a 36 ACT Reading and 35...

    Can't log into my portal

    I hit the candidate login button and it brings up the privacy act notice but no matter how many times I hit "ok" it doesn't let me past that. I can't even get to where I punch in my credentials.

    What are the enjoyable things about attending USMA?

    The things that aren't amongst the most enjoyable aspects of West Point such as Beast are talked about often and for good reason. But I'd like to hear everything you have to say about the things one could enjoy or you personally enjoyed most at USMA. Clubs, classes, leadership, Camaraderie...

    Already completed my DoDMERB but my portal says "No Action"

    I totally completed by application for USMA today and of course I'm really eager. All my portal icons are green. Due to all the other academy/ROTC applications I've been doing I've already been requested and taken my DoDMERB in mid-August. I don't know exactly who requested it. Will my USMA...

Which would be most appreciated by USNA and other service academies and most benefit/prepare me for the future? BGO and NASS SL say AP Calc and I agree. I want a variety of...
