When I applied for the class of 2021, USMA had a hard deadline of April 15th for medical issues to be resolved. I was disqualified and my application was terminated on April 13th (when I received my initial disqualification) because I was in the process of receiving a waiver at the deadline and...

I made a post awhile back detailing my situation as a late-game applicant to this board. In essence, I am a highly competitive applicant that made some significant mistakes in timing that led to me receiving a nomination very late and ultimately missing the medical deadline and thus being...

I did my PMS interview at Cornell. He seemed to honestly wish that I would get accepted, but due to Cornell lacking a central admissions office, he told me he had little influence. Not 3 hours after I received me scholarship hr contacted me and told me he notified admissions, obviously to the...

In most cases you would be right. I asked about AU ROTC in an email to Georgetown ROTC and they informed that AUs program is 45 cadets strong. In addition to that, classes are hosted on AUs campus for AU cadets. I understand that in most circumstances satellite schools are programs with lesser...

I've been going back and forth between American University and the University of Pittsburgh as to where to request a scholarship transfer. Initially I accepted my scholarship at Cornell, but I was rejected and only found out on the 31st of March, so I obviously have to transfer. I would really...

I have visited West Point and I have conversed with cadets in the past. I've watched all the "day in the life" videos on YouTube that I can and done as much research and whatnot as possible. I believe that I understand what West Point is like to the fullest extent, but I have not lived it (the...

Yes, my portal is open. I've got a listing for a State Coordinator and a Congressional District Coordinator on my portal, but I'll talk directly with the regional coordinator. It's unrealistic that I could actually be at West Point soon.

Thank you! I understand that my CFA isn't weighted as much. If accepted, I already have a plan to begin working on my physical weaknesses that's already going into effect so I can do well in ROTC. You're entirely correct on me shirking USMA. See the above post about Boys' State. I'm just glad to...

Before Boys' State, I had exactly zero exposure to the military lifestyle. At Boys' State (NY), we woke up at 5:30 to PT, slept in dorms, marched everywhere, ate our meals in 5 minutes and were supervised by Marine NCOs. Obviously it was not as hardcore as West Point, but it was a taste of the...

Thank you! I do plan on majoring in a writing intensive field :)

It is unfortunate. I was very gung-ho about going to West Point this time last year, but Boys' State changed my perception as to the nature of communal military life. I still wanted to be considered for admissions, however. Like I said, I'm fully prepared and excited to take the ROTC route, but...

I'm in the Northeast region, so based on this, would I talk to CPT Lukasz Derda?

"Yes, I am still here Staff Sergeant" -Anthony Swofford, Jarhead I'll be the first to admit that I made a lot of mistakes in my USMA application process. I never really trained for the CFA, never applied for SLE, gave up too early and only barely submitted my application before it would have...
