Additional update: I am aware that USMA does not require LORs and that some FFRs even discourage them, as they feel they are redundant and SOEs are sufficient. I am sending them on the advisement of an old grad I know who said that LORs really made an impact on the committee for them and it...

Hello Everyone, I am planning on sending a few letters of recommendation to USMA (in addition to the SOEs) but am not sure how to send them. They are all physical letters that are printed on school letterhead in sealed envelopes, dated and signed across the back, etc. The only place I saw to...

Thank you Sir! I appreciate the advice! It sounds like you made it work with a much trickier situation. I will plan on asking my current PE teacher for the SOE. Again, many thanks!

Ma'am, thank you for your advice. I did get a chance to have a face to face sit down with my admissions counselor and it was incredibly rewarding. Also, you were correct in the range of sophistication in the cadet candidates and about the mug! Again, thank you for your help! PS: Turtlenecks are...
