Are we allowed to bring items that aren't on the portal's "To-Bring Checklist?" I'm thinking things like compression shorts/spandex, a hairbrush and hair ties (not on the list for whatever reason...), etc. Just want to check before I pack this type of stuff, just for it to get taken away!

From past experience, what is the dress expectation for the appointee tours? Lots of walking involved, so I want to make sure I'm dressed to their standards, as well as accordingly with the events of the day.

When they fix this, they ought to slide in some appointee kits... take care of two issues at the same time! :)

Not sure... I don't have mine yet either. Hoping to see it in there soon though!

Hi all, I've been trying to decide if it's necessary for me to take AP tests this year. I took AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, and AP Lang last year and did well on all 3, and am currently enrolled in AP Statistics and AP Lit this year. I've received mixed answers from people I've asked...

Thank you!!

Does anyone know when the appointee kits for class of '21 will be pushed out? Thanks!

I received this notice on my portal awhile back as well. You should've gotten an email from the Admissions Team that has the password. Hope this helps!

What type of preparation could an incoming cadet be involved in to be more competitive for the Wings of Green/Blue teams?

Oops, typo. Meant to put June there.

I report for BCT on July 29th, so I'm starting now in my preparation for those crazy weeks. Any insight or advice people can give on what to expect, especially physically? I understand that there's no way to be 100% perfectly prepared for what will come, but my ALO stressed the importance of how...

Looks like there was no need for me to worry/stress... Got a call from my Congressman (the one who nominated me) congratulating me on my early appointment! He beat the USAFA in informing me. Thanks everyone for your words of advice!

Thank you! That's what I've read online as well, that they wouldn't bother with the waiver if I wasn't competitive for appointment (according to DoDMERB site). My class rank is 1 of 482 unweighted, 25 of 482 weighted (top 5%). My ALO has said that my evaluation is very strong, so hopefully that...

39 foot basketball throw, 1 pull up (I know... That number is pretty sad), 9.9 second shuttle run, 78 sit-ups (average), 50 push-ups (max), 7:17 mile (above average)- also, if it's important to note, I'm a girl. I'm not an all star athlete (as you can probably tell) but my ALO was saying since I...

-35 ACT (perfect scores on math and science) -1420 SAT -4.15 GPA -heavy AP and honors coursework -tons of participation in leadership through church and school (president of past youth group, vice president of current youth group, etc.) -intramural volleyball for 2 years I completely understand...

I've received a medical waiver for some past issues I had, as well as a nomination from my Representative, both to USAFA. With the two of these, is there any way to know my chances of receiving an appointment to the academy? Thanks.

I was trying to access my online USMA application portal, and received a notice (attached file). Wondering if anyone else has seen this? I even tried opening my portal in an incognito window, and nothing changed.

I will be attending three separate congressional interviews for potential nominations, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to expect at these interviews? Is it similar to, for instance, the USAFA ALO interview (in terms of question types)? Anything anybody has regarding the...
