    Tennis at USMA

    Anyone know if there is a club/ intramural tennis team at West Point? I enjoy playing tennis, but I'm not a D-1 level player, and I haven't found anything on the USMA website regarding a club team. If there isn't a club team, is it worth sending in my racket with my parents on A-day? Do cadets...

    Received my Appointment

    Got a call from my congressman today letting me know I'm headed to West Point! Thank you to everyone here on the forums who helped me with my many questions... although I'm sure I'll still have many more questions in the future. Also, I'll be sure to stick around the forums in the future to help...

    Pennsylvania redistricting

    Anyone know when PA redistricting changes will come into effect for the academies/ how it will effect existing cadet numbers in each district? I am applying for the class of 2022, so I'm assuming that it won't change anything for me, but it would be rather odd to represent the 17th district...

    Received my qualification letter today

    Opened my West Point portal today and was pleasantly surprised to see my qualification letter was posted. Was a little confused about the one paragraph in it...

    Quick questions about appointment notification

    First, does the admissions board meet solely on Tuesdays? Second, I know BFE's are usually received on Fridays, what days are TWE's usually received? Have many rejection letters been sent out? Sorry for the lack of context, perhaps I'll be able to better explain my situation a little later.

    Need clarification about ROTC scholarship

    I received a call last night from someone who I assume was a liaison officer for West Point. He was essentially calling me to give me advice, as he saw I was a qualified candidate who hasn't received an offer yet. However, one interesting thing he said, which I wasn't aware of, was that because...

    Got some good news... I think

    Came home to a message on the answering machine today from a field force representative, first thought was that admissions wanted an interview, but called him back and that wasn't the case. He was just calling to tell me I needed to redo my pull-up video (which I actually uploaded three days...

    3Q Letter

    Anyone know if it is normal to not receive a 3Q letter, especially if you receive medical clearance a bit late? I wasn't medically cleared until December 21, and didn't take my CFA until after football season in late November. I'm certainly in the toughest part of the process now... waiting.

    Double major?

    Does anyone know if there is enough overlap between Defense and Strategic Studies and International Relations to be able to double major without wanting to send myself down the Hudson viking burial style? Upon further reflection I decided I'd really like to try to make a career out of the...

    My nomination came in... Now What? And what are my chances?

    I received my best gift of this Christmas on the 23rd, in the form of a nomination to the United States Military Academy. Obviously I was very excited, but now I am in the state of waiting. I have two questions: When is a normal time to hear from the academy about your admission decision...

    Best major for intelligence career?

    Hello, if appointed to West Point, my original intentions were to major in chemical or nuclear engineering, as I enjoy physics and chemistry. But, I recently reflected more on what I'd like to do most within the military, and not as much on my civilian career. I came to the realization that I...

    DoDMERB Remedial Requested

    I recently received my examination from DoDMERB and received a remedial request (codes R251.15 and R251.12). Where do I send the completed the forms? It says to send them to an address at the Air Force Academy, but I'm only applying to USMA and USNA. Is that just where the review board is...

    Life after your first 5 years of active duty

    I'm currently in application process for the USMA, and am wondering what kind of choices and opportunities would lie ahead of me after your 5 years of active duty. I plan on majoring in chemical or nuclear engineering, and would love to enlist in the Corps of Engineers or the Chemical Corps...
