    I-day physical readiness

    Yes, there will be two PRTs over PS. The initial PRT does not count for anything except sorting the plebes into running groups for PEP and giving plebes a baseline for themselves. Plenty of plebes fail the IPRT. Do your best, but don't worry too much if you fail. PEP is designed so that you will...

    Pre-Plebe Summer Training Suggestions

    Do as much as you can before the I-day. If you don't have enough time for everything, focus on the running over strength. Either way, they will get you into shape really quickly. However, if you aren't used to running at least a couple miles a day you are putting yourself at a greater risk for...

    How much money?

    There are mids whose parents bankroll them for everything, and there are mids who get nothing from their parents. It's completely up to your family's means and how much you want to give your mid. Pay increases each year, but your mid will never spend as little money as they do plebe year. It's...

    The hair situation- plebe summer 2019

    I echo what Capt MJ said. The change in hair regs was largely due to equal opportunity issues. While many plebe's hair grows back within the academic year, there are some 2/C who still struggle with growing out their plebe cut because of their hair texture. There were also issues of equality...

    Summer Job on Application

    You'll be able to mention summer jobs very briefly on the online application. Your best opportunity to expand on your summer job is during your BGO interview. You can talk all about the leadership you got during your summer job then.

    Letters of Recommendation/Teacher Evaluation

    I was in the same situation as you. Your USMA admissions counselor will tell you who they want to fill out this evaluation if you just email them and ask. My counselor gave me this order of preference: 1. PE teacher that had the you in class; 2. CFA administrator; 3. Fitness activity course...

    What to do while waiting to become Candidate?

    1) Reach out to your ALO (USAFA) or BGO (USNA). They can meet with you, answer questions, start getting to know you, etc. He or she will also be more than willing to give you a practice interview. (The practice interview is something I wish I had done beforehand with my BGO) The better your ALO...

    LOA for recruited athlete...weird

    You've been given A LOT of information from this thread. The thing I want to reiterate is that you do not need an LOA in order to get an appointment. It's a great boost of confidence to get. But to put it in perspective: academies will start handing out appointments almost as early as LOAs. And...

    Tips For Improving CFA Scores

    Look up Stew Smith CFA workouts. He has a couple books on preparing for the CFA, but if you dig deep enough you'll also find articles he wrote about training plans that you can access for free. Here's the links to a couple that I found, but you can probably find some more as well! In some of his...

    NASS 2018 and questions for girls

    For the period question: I agree with what others have said. When I went to SS there was also one night where there was a "gender talk". Basically, the guys and girls split up and got to ask the mids all the questions you've wanted to ask. Really take advantage of this because they are more than...
