    What's the typical wait for remedials?

    After initially submitting DoDMERB, I was given two remedials and sent them in to my physician at different times. The first one I sent was processed(he/she sent me an email back) within a few days and taken off my DoDMERB site the next day. The second was also processed within a few days, but...

    Advice Needed on Recruiting to Plan B School

    Hi all, I've recently been offered an official visit(paid airfare, hotel, etc) to one of my back-up schools, and I'm conflicted on whether to take it or not. I've applied(non-recruited) to the USNA and USAFA as well, which are my first two choices and where my heart truly lies. However, the...

    GPA refigurement?

    As I'm sure you all know, USAFA refigures GPAs based on school & it says so on the portal. My question is, what if our GPA hasn't changed? Is it likely my application hasn't been looked at, or is the GPA going to stay the same? For reference my application was turned in very early November...

    "Current Studies" Format on Personal Data Record

    Hi all, was just finishing up my personal data record and had a question about how anyone else formatted the "Current Studies" page. It asks for the class and then the semester that it's being taken, and says in the instructions that 'First' or 'Second' is acceptable in the semester. However, it...

    What kind of track times are needed to be recruited?(Distance)

    Specifically for the 3200, but any info on cross country/track times would be super helpful. I'm planning on emailing the coach, but I wanted to wait until after my junior track season so I have some good times. Also have fairly good academics/ECs(1500 SAT, good GPA, clubs, etc) if that affects...

    I took the SAT without writing - is this bad?

    Still a junior, but as it was the first time I made the mistake of not taking writing. Will I still be able to use this score as USAFA superscores? Or will I not be able to use either the math or the English scores from this test date? Thanks.

    How long do I have for accepting/declining West Point SLE?

    I got accepted the other day, but am still waiting on my NASS application. Given that I can only attend one due to financial and time constraints, I'd like to know if I have time to wait to see about NASS before I accept/decline SLE. Does it show anywhere on the portal the date I have to...

    Anyone know if there's still spots left for SLE

    Having a pretty busy summer, I wasn't originally able to attend either of the SLE dates, so I didn't apply. I found out today that the classes I am taking over summer were moved, so I applied right away, but was just wondering if all the spots have been filled(seeing all the acceptance posts) or...

    NASS Essay Question

    So, for the essay question on the NASS application, since it's similar to the USAFA SS one my answer is relatively the same(asking for the reasons for attending the seminar) Would using portions from my USAFA application be inappropriate?

    Appropriate to email coach?

    Hi, I'm a junior who runs cross country/track and I was wondering about what times I would need to hit this season to be recruited. Is it appropriate to email the coach asking for the info? I tried searching for it online, but couldn't find any standards or list of past recruits. Thanks!

    Can someone clarify the eyesight qualifications for me?

    I'm currently measured at 20/200 in both eyes, and fully correctable to 20/20. What would or wouldn't I be qualified for? Does my eyesight uncorrected matter if it's correctable to 20/20?

    When will we hear back from Summer Seminar?

    I searched past threads and saw some people saying it was rolling admissions while others said it was a single day. Does anyone have any info for what's going on this year? Application is currently under the 'not processed' stage & was turned in on 12/12.

    Summer Seminar Application Question

    What constitutes a 'community organization?' I've been a part of numerous organizations that, although connected to school, often involve working and interacting among the community, not just school. (For example, FBLA.) If anyone has any insight on this, would appreciate your help & thanks...

    What does it mean by Summer Seminar selects based on 'geography?'

    Would this mean that someone in California would have a harder of being accepted then someone in a less-populated state? Personally, I come from a district of California that typically doesn't see very many SA applicants, but I'm just wondering whether being in California means I will have a...

    A Few Questions Regarding ALOs

    Will get straight to the point. I appreciate any answers or extra info. :) 1) Is early junior year too early to contact them? 2) How big of an area do ALOs usually cover? 3) When emailing to ask a few questions, how much info should I give when introducing myself? Would 'Hi xxxxx, my name is...

    Class rank unweighted or weighted?

    Personally, at my school, there's a large number of kids who take 0-2 AP classes and maintain a 4.0 UW. On the other hand, I have around a 3.85 UW with 4-5 AP classes. Due to this, my class rank is fairly low if it's submitted unweighted, but I believe I can request my weighted class rank from...

    I need help gaining weight and putting on muscle

    I'm around 6'1, 140 lbs which is way too low compared where I think I should be. This is partly due to me running competitively(have won a few league and county championships) and overall not really doing anything related to building muscle. For reference, I can do about 30 push-ups max and...
