A lot of it will roll over in your application. I did my CFA with the same PE teacher that did it the first time. Also I just needed to get 2 new SOEs from professors in college. It’s not too difficult to reapply. Worst part was redoing all the nomination applications

Attending SLE has zero effect on your chance of admission. It is used to show candidates if they feel they would like to attend. I was told by many that if I had to choose between boys state and sle to go to boys state since it improves your candidate score for leadership. I attended both but...

Yes it is absolutely worth retaking. 25 is kind of low for the science section. Others can correct me if I am wrong but I believe USMA superscores so if you do better they will see it.

Last year I was in the exact situation. I was DQ’d with an LOA. I don’t know your medical situation but for mine, it took time and I reapplied and now I have accepted an appointment. I know the feeling and it’s not fun, but see if there are options

Could he not get the teacher he had from his freshman year class to do the SOE? My PE teacher was from my sophomore year I believe.

If you for sure want to go and are going to apply, I recommend applying to go to Boys or Girls State. I also agree with what the others said about trying to get into a sport.

In the BFE, the superintendent’s letter says it is July 1st.

Yeah I’ve been 3Q’d and already accepted appointment but mine went away today as well.

I received my notification today on my portal.

That could be a smart idea. I chose to ask the teachers that I interacted with more and knew me at a more personal level. It ended up being my chemistry TA and my English professor.

I am a College Reapplicant and my regional commander told me over the phone that I would need an additional SOE. This year when I went to do them I was told it was actually two. It was a little awkward asking for a recommendation to a different school but they were very understanding.

If you are trying to get your pull ups numbers up, one thing I did that helped a lot was get a doorway pull-up bar and put it on my bedroom door. Each time I walked through I forced myself to do as many as I could three times.

I am reapplying this year as I was medically disqualified for the class of 2022. Once I found I was not able to be part of the class, my Regional Commander closed my application and I had to wait until August for my application to reopen. I don't think you are able to do anything until then...

Has anyone who is reapplying to USMA this year gotten the Class of 2023 application yet? I remember my app opened up the first last year but my portal is sill my 2022 application

I actually heard about it very late. A friend of mine at West Point now recommended it. I tried contacting my local American Legion post for a scholarship/sponsor but they never responded(my fault). My parents ended up just sponsoring it. Basically all week there were some meetings you were...

I went to Boys State last year. In Illinois it was absolutely a popularity contest. Also who could make people laugh. A guy won governor by pretending to be a chicken farmer who mentioned doing unspeakable things with his family. It was quite ridiculous but it was a decent week.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but last year when I applied to SLE, I wasn't accepted for a number of weeks. Days after I submitted my ACT and SAT scores I was accepted into SLE. Just my experience. Hope it helps!

From what I have heard, a big event West Point fails people on is the BB throw, but you are definitely good there. At SLE, I got a 8:03 mile and it was not at risk, meaning they didn't fail that event. The only event I failed was the BB throw. I don't think you should worry too much considering...
