It does help for applications. I didn't do my interview for my nomination in person. I did it over the phone while at an orphanage in the Philippines. So volunteer work does help especially when it's outside the country

Don't worry about it. You beat everything in my CFA when I took it except the mile run. You got this

I'm gonna be 100% honest. Nothing is impossible. I felt the same when I started applying in my senior year of high school. I could barely do one pull-up, pushups sucked and my two mile time was trash. But I worked hard and pushed myself. I started working out with my PE teacher was an Enlisted...

This will most likely be my last question for a while since BEAST starts in about 3 weeks. I wanted to ask somethings about the accepted height/weight standard. I'm about 6ft tall and my weight is about 198lbs. Last time I checked my body fat I was about 18-20%. They told me based on the paper I...

Thank you to all of you! Now I feel more confident in what is coming.

Thank you all of you. I'll be all of these words of wisdom in mind as I enter the academy.

This forum has helped me a lot with tips of getting into shape, building strength and getting a full idea of what West Point is like. This forum even helped on how I should learn how to do pull-ups. However since my acceptance a sense of dread is now falling upon me when I think about R-Day and...

I started cross country because I used to be big and I felt thought running would help me to lose the weight. It did and if I do my best not to slow down as only increase in speed I can do well but sometimes I have a bad habit of slowing down towards the end. I honestly want any form of advice...

When I took my CFA I got 7:27 but I feel that when If I run during the second mile my speed starts to drastically fall so the 17:30-18:00 is an worst scenario estimate for me. Best scenario I would assume 15:00-16:00. Also I did cross country and volleyball.

I want to learn experiences about tests such as the IOCT and APFT for when I go and know any advice for them. I'm confident in my push ups and sit ups but the 2 mile run is my problem because after the first mile my stamina is pretty good but into the second is when I start to slow down and I...

GPA: 4.02 weighted SAT Score: 1290 Class Rank: N/A but I would estimate top 15 Varsity: Cross Country and Volleyball Extracurricular: regular Food Bank Volunteer, Hospital Volunteer in the Philippines for a few weeks, church youth group member and work in my parent's shop.

All for one If we don't, who will? From Ashes, We rise.

I decided to do Volleyball but I'm also trying to start boxing as an activity after school.

Hello Forum Last year December I had received a letter of assurance for West Point and now the only thing awaiting me was medical waiver since I was disqualified for Myopia. However when I had information requested I had accidentally sent it twice which restarted the whole process that they were...

I'm don't know running terminology that well so what is 220/440 and VO2 max?

I wondering what I should do about my weight situation. I'm 205lbs, 5 feet and 11 inches which puts about 20lbs above the West Point goal but by body fat percentage in 21-22% which is close to the 20% that West Point wants or is permmissible. I wanted to take during my final year in high school...

No I actually had the Letter of Assurance since December. I only needed my CFA for my application.
