My friend I saw your other post about grades and now this one on weed. I am just going to be straight up. In my opinion, the USNA and or the USMA will eat you alive. I know you said you want to go to one or the other but both are crushing students with 4.0 unweighted GPA's, no drug use...

HAHAHAHHAH. that is what he is telling me but I can't see how it is even possible to schedule that many hours. Isn't that 192 hours (24 hours per semester x 8 semesters)? That is nuts man especially with the standards. By the way congratulations to your son if he is about finished. One...

To be honest with you guys, that is what I though. I have a feeling that he is just confused. He did tell me that since he was at the best Engineering school in the world he wanted to take advantage of it. He says it has to do with Chemical Engineering but I don't see how that can be correct...

Hey I had a question for you guys that are grads. A little off the subject but how many credit hours do you need to graduate? I was talking to DS and he is indicating that he will have over 190 credit hours. When I graduated from normal civilian college I had about 130 credit hours. Is there...

If you are male and get in, they send you a letter telling you that you need to do 6 pull ups on R day or be subject to termination. When you do them you are expected to go from a hanging position and pull yourself completely up until you touch your collar bone. Then you go down fully and...

Thank you.

If so how does it work?

Well said. Wow, good info.

I was reading yesterday on another site and it said that normally about 200 cadets fail out of each class academically during their 4 years. We did not know that and I have nothing to back it up but it now seems to be true. They also try to separate these students before they make their...

If you "rest" on the ground you are suppose to be disqualified. I think the standard is to go down until your upper arm is parallel to the ground. However, your post is the point. He felt they were just giving him a hard time on the first test and the first time they did pull ups. He felt...

I am not trying to be flippant but a 36 on the ACT normally gets you in. Being in a very competitive district is a curse. There are huge difference in the districts and the cadets that come from them. We were told there are some districts where no one even applies. In some districts hundreds...

To be honest, my DS was doing more than 18. He worked on the PT test for years. When he got there on "R" day they would not count them because he was not touching his collar bone. He had trained to pull up to his chin. He called me on the first call and said "Dad this is not joke. I had a...

Sorry to hear it. I was told that approximately 200 cadets were put on disciplinary action or separated due to academic failure after first semester. They are calling it the Saturday night massacre. The teachers are not changing standards and it seems there are many children not ready for the...

This is exactly why the USMA wants the video tapes. Yes it will effect the way they look at your previously reported scores. By the way, at "R" day you are expected to do 6 pullups (at a minimum) or you are subject to dismissal if you are a man. They test you the first morning. They will not...

Do well at SLE. You are very competitive. Stay healthy and max out the PT test. I think you will get in.

Yea, its difficult to talk about the truth. The PC Nazi's just want it to go away and have everyone shut their mouths because it does not fit the narrative. The exact story I outlined is happening right now at the academy and everyone there knows it. I have a feeling you do too.

HAHAHHAHAHHAH. We all know there will be no publication ever saying any minority group will be limited for any reason. Will it happen in real life? Sure. If you are an Asian man, I am pretty sure you have a problem once they get over 7%. Women are different and Asian women with high...

Went to a briefing. We were told that it will happen over multiple years but the intent is to increase female representation to reflect the population as a whole. The only reason that they are not currently at these levels is that they can not find sufficient candidates that they believe can...

Good luck.

You are from a small school. If you are a white male, I would suggest working on your ACT. You probably need a super score of more than 30. You have a GPA of 4.0 and are number one in your class. You also indicate that you have taken every AP course offered by your school. At the same time...
