I truly believe that when one door closes, another opens. My son is a senior and over the past 15 months has completed applications to USMA, USNA, USAFA, AFROTC and AROTC. West Point and serving in the Army had always been his first goal. He applied to the other branches so he could learn about...

DS accepted his 3 year scholarship yesterday after a stressful few weeks visiting and choosing between the 3 schools. He is still torn between his #1 on the list and one other great in-state school that was not on his offer. I realize that most schools make you leave a deposit or make a decision...

DS received exciting news today that he has been awarded a 3 year AROTC scholarship. Plan B is falling into place. :) He has a congressional nom to USMA and we are in a pretty competitive district. He has been updating his file until the Feb. deadline so my question is this scholarship something...

DS is taking the CFA Monday and that is the last piece of his application. Today we received much improved multiple choice scores for the Sept. ACT in both Math and English. We don't have his full ACT report yet as the writing (for USMA) has not yet been scored. We are afraid that his file will...

DS is in the middle of two-a-days this week and all training for CFA is on pause. We were hoping he would have it completed by now but those pull ups are tough. He's 6'4" and dropped about 15 lbs of his lineman weight this summer but still can't do the average number of pull ups and mile time...

DS was excited to receive invite today for CVW. Unfortunately, the two weekends are right in the middle of his high school football season. Do they do these weekends routinely throughout the year? Should he reach out directly to his admissions counselor to try and come on another visit? Thanks.

DS is preparing to take a trial run of the AROTC PFA. We have been searching for goals or minimun scores and can't seem to find any. Does anyone have any input on how many he should strive for on push ups and sit ups? Is there a minimum mile time? Thanks

DS started AFROTC app this week and is having trouble with the preferred colleges. They appear to be in random order and he is not sure how to list them from first choice on down to last choice. Has anyone had any trouble with this? Thanks.

The West Point Admissions Instagram Story is sharing the life of a cadet today. Pretty cool stuff if you have a chance to check it out. :)

We are taking DS to USMA next week for a day visit. He has started an application for C/O 2022 and we are trying to do our college visits this spring before his senior year football season starts. FFR suggested the day visit while USMA is in session as the best experience. We have visited WP...

Good evening - I have searched through the forums and haven't found much information on SLE. DS applied Jan 18 and portal states pending. I believe they have started sending out those offers already so I am assuming he is not going to be able to attend. His FFR told him that a lot of the juniors...

I am so thankful to have stumbled on this forum! I have learned so much reading over all of the helpful information! I am the mom of a wonderful Junior son who has just started his application to USMA, USAFA & USNA Summer session. He is planning on majoring in Mechanical and or Nuclear...
