could someone please add this to the list please? 41 Scrose DD No Loa 07-Jan-22 Will Accept SC Congressional, ROTC, Presidential AOG sponsored Prep

I’m sure the poster was asking this of “new” Old Grads. I know a few “old” Old Grads and one of them ate toothpaste he was so hungry. My 21 year old son is an Old Grad and he was never hungry during beast. He’s pretty picky and hates vegetables but the entrees were always sufficient. This was...

My DD did as well sweet potato! I thought it was too good to be true and suggested she confirm with her FFR! Senator1 x 2 Senator2 x 2 Congressman x 1 JROTC Presidential Hoping for the best, I know she gave it her best shot! Good luck to your DS!

Hi there shoot me a text at (860) 367-6998 and I’ll fill you in on my sons experience. I’m unable to send a message as well.

Yes, I concur that it is highly doubtful that the February visit will occur. SLE will give him a much better feel for the experience anyway. We are fellow South Carolinians, and I’m sure my graduating firstie would be happy to meet with him this summer and answer any questions he might have. He...

My DD has both nominations on her USMA portal.

Yes, many cadets use USAA as their primary accts. There is a branch right outside Thayer gate. They will still have a penfed account, which I think book money gets deposited into, but pay can go directly into USAA.

Definitely some room trashing last week. All in all, I think the distraction it provided was a welcome break from the endless monotony of the semester. Yes, I’m sure there were a few hours of clean up involved, but if let’s off some steam so that they can focus better afterwards, maybe it’s for...

My DS says breakfasts are pretty bad. Lunch is edible. He is a firstie with more disposable income so there are a lot of grab and go purchases. And I send him a package every month with snacks, nuts, power bars and sweets.

I know the interviews were done in the early spring and the cadet I know was informed by June. They stil have to take the MCAT and apply to medical school, so I imagine branch night would be too late.

As for some numbers, this year 20 USMA 2021 cadets put in for slots for medical school. There happened to be 20 slots this year. This varies each year just as aviation, FA, Engineers, slots do. They interviewed all 20 and 19 were awarded slots. I guess they weren't impressed with one of them...

My daughter was contacted in July and had hers in person. We are in the Southeast.

DS is a firstie and says it is company dependent. He has always been able to preference, including 2nd semester plebe. By the time you’re a firstie, one of your buddies is usually in charge of assigning rooms and knows who wants to be roommates. Mine has been lucky and has had a 2 man room for...

DD's showed up today.

Try to schedule something outside of the northeast. DD has managed to take it in August and is scheduled again for tomorrow. She also took it end of 10th and beginning of 11th grade but wanted to improve her score. She had to reschedule a couple of times and she has had to drive out of town, but...

I didn't go to either exam with my 17 year old kids. Both times each kid just showed ID. I did tell my daughter to make sure a female nurse was in the room if there was a male dr performing the exam. She had a female physician though.

My son had never shown any interest, but after USMA kept popping up in college searches as a reach school based on his SAT scores, he decided to throw a hail Mary. He had no varsity sports, but with some work he was able to pass the CFT. He is an Eagle Scout, and was an XO in his NJROTC unit. He...

Lots. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Thankfully this child decided before September of her senior year that she wanted to apply, so things aren’t as rushed. Most importantly though, don’t get discouraged if you are lacking in some area. Chances are you have many qualities that round out your...

Hi there, checking in again after a few years. These forums were a blessing to my 2021 cadet and now I'm back again with a DD hoping to be included in the class 2025. We have some experience with the process now, so hopefully I'll be able to contribute more.

Not sure how all this will shake out, but I would proceed under the assumption that they will still be required. There is nothing West Point likes more than see how you navigate obstacles, both physical and psychological. The second lesson you will learn there, after "you can't do it all,so...
