    Validation

    I can answer the math question. If you have a 5 on the AP Calc BC exam, you automatically validate MA103, and you'd get placed in the Jedi math program. However, if you did not get a 5, you can still test into the Jedi Math program, as I did. You do not need to have an AP background to test into...

    LOA

    I got my LOA in August of last year, before I submitted my CFA videos. You generally receive one if you are in decent academic standing (High ACT/SAT scores). I had barely worked on my application before I received mine. I had participated in and received awards at SLE in the summer right after...

    SLE Clothing

    Last year we were issued 3 polo shirts and 3 PT shirts to use for the duration of SLE. We were unable to wash our clothes and pretty much had to bear through the sweat and stink on them. You will definitely wear each shirt at least once. Less on the shirts, but I encourage you to bring...

    Dental Dilemma

    I received my appointment already. Today I went to a dentist for a cleaning and to give them one of the post-admission forms to clear me before R-day. However, It was discovered that I may need to undergo a (or possibly multiple) tooth extraction. I was previously advised not to do any...

    Is this a terrible idea for SLE + ACT + NASS?

    I was in a similar boat last year. I had SLE and then NASS a few days after, and right after NASS, I had the ACT. I was exhausted and couldn't even finish all of the sections. I still ended up with a decent score and didn't need to retake, but I would have done better if I were more rested. If...

    USMA Class of 2022 Appointment Thread

    @KYparent I was deferred by my #1 choice (MIT). I'm waiting for their final decision before I make mine. USMA is still one of my top choices, and I'll be blessed to attend either school. I'm applying for ROTC at MIT just in case.

    West Point Candidate

    What helped me the most with getting into West Point was SLE. I was never even thinking of applying there before I went. However, SLE helped me change my mind, and ended up boosting my USMA application greatly. Solely because of my performance at SLE(I received 2 academic awards), and with my...
