Thank you everyone for your responses. I'll keep everything you have told me in mind. @Zeus, I did end up going to USMA and I am a rising Yuk there. I'm looking to buy a gift for a friend who accepted his appointment at USAFA and I just wanted to see if there was anything that I could maybe get...

What should I take to basic training that's not on the packing list? Any current cadets have advice on what to take that would be helpful but not on the packing list? Thank you!

When are 8th semester transcripts due?? My school sent them out a couple days ago so they should be getting there soon but I'm just concerned that there is a due date...

You seem very strong from what you wrote. Make sure to pursue any type of leadership in any of your current activities. The service academies don't place a heavy deal of weight on GPA (it is still important) because ACT and SAT scores are much more important. Class rank is also more important...

My BFE came 4 days after the portal update. I'm guessing it depends on where you live. Besides the certificate, there is a letter congratulating you and there is also a tassel topper for your graduation cap.

Thank you!

The Hotel Package for Cadets only is a little confusing. So do cadets get to stay at a hotel and then receive bus transportation to West Point from there? And do parents have to find their own way of getting to West Point if I do choose to accept this package? Thanks.

Hi, I'm just wondering what the course requirements are for plebe year? Thanks.

Thank you so much! I was very very excited when I found out I received a USMA appointment in addition to my USNA appointment. I very much wanted to think about it and explore which academy would best suit my needs and wants. I'm trying to gather as much information about each as possible so if...
