Hello all, I remember reading awhile ago that scholarships can be used to pay the acceptance fee and other allotments. Is this still currently true? What else could scholarships or savings be used for?

Hello All, After lengthy, exhausting medical battle with DoDMERB, I was granted a waiver this week and appointed to USMAPS today! I was wondering if anyone had tips to prepare or things I need to start gearing for? I also really got out of shape due to a busy work study eating up my schedule...

I received an official correspondence today that the medical team at West Point has granted a waiver for my DQ. I was wondering, with May 1st this week, is there still enough to time to hope for an appointment? My CFA is still yellow and I haven't heard anything back, just curious. Thanks all

In February, WP requested a waiver for me. Ever since, I have been going back and forth submitting documents and taking a remedial exam. However, just recently they gave me a new DQ code, which included claiming that I had a disability that isn't mentioned once in any document I have submitted...

Hello all, About a month ago, USMA requested a waiver for my DQ. I'm a bit concerned because the April 15th deadline is a month away and I still didn't get any updates.. When I applied two years ago and went through this process, I had already completed the necessary medical evaluation that I...

Hey y'all. Today I was notified that WP requested a waiver on my behalf. I was wondering if this is a good indication that my application may be strong enough for an appointment? Also, since that means that my file was reviewed, how come my CFA still appears as pending?

I'm a reapplicant this year. I went through the waiver process two years ago and was denied. I completed all the medical needs but whenever I log into DoDMETS, it show a completely different screen now. It's saying that I completed all my appointments and my case was closed.. I think it might be...

To put my mind at ease, I received a nomination from my Senator but was not named the Principal. I'm worried if being named an alternate significantly lowers my chances. Do I still have a shot? If it helps, I believe I passed the CFA and may be qualified academically, but I need a medical...

Hello All, I just completed my application and I was wondering how people found out if 3Q? I'm a little concerned over a few things. Firstly, I'm afraid my CFA score was too low. I took it back in December but was recommended to take it again because my run time was way too slow. I got my run...

Hello all, I was seeking clarification and information on nominations. I was honored to receive an alternate nom from my MoC. To put my mind at ease, is it still likely to hope for an appointment? I was told that they benefit college reapplicants like myself but I wasn't quite sure if that was...

Hello, I am applying to USMA this year and was honored to receive an alternate nomination. I'm not as confident in my application, so I was wondering if a LoR from someone special might help? I remember last year when I searched this topic, someone jokingly said that sending additional letters...

So my USNA Application is complete aside from one thing-- math teacher evaluation and English evaluation. I am a college sophomore reapplying, and all of my college professors in the subject turned me down due to the fact that they felt like they did not know me as much. Long story short, both...

Hi all, This is my second time reapplying to USMA for c/o 2025. I applied a couple years ago but couldn't get a waiver so I'm trying again. I see there's this new thing called a "Candidate Background Experience Form" that asks a bunch of questions and you answer in more or less "strongly...

I'm having trouble finding a clear answer. Since there's a law and leagal studies program at WP, I was wondering if it would be possible to graduate and become a JAG officer in the Army. From the looks of it, I can't find that option on the branching list, so what would be the ideal route if...

Working on a short essay for USMA. I'm referring to a brief story of Benjamin Davis Jr., and I want to end the sentence something like "his story is a perfect example of duty, honor, country." I get this feeling like it should be capitalized, I think I've seen it like that around the website...

Hi, I'm a reapplicant to USMA. I currently major in pol sci and I hope to go to USMA, major in Law, eventually attend law school and become a JAG officer. Currently, a LOT of my EC's include something political related. I'm worried because I understand that the military is supposed to be...

Hello, I'm a reapplicant to USNA and I ran into a hiccup. I don't exactly have an English teacher. Both my 10th, and 11th teacher quit. My new 12th grade teacher quit this year so I don't really have anyone to put down. Can I request a letter of recommendation from my college english/writing...

Hello all, After being extremely dissatisfied with the university I have to attend, I've been putting more time enlisting (most likely usmc) and reapplying to USNA the next application cycle. My main questions are these: Academics were probably the weakest point of my application. So I'm...

Hello all, I wanted to ask this just in case, I was told that if I had taken out a rather large student loan (~$90-120K), it would be hard for the SA's to accept me because of the huge debt. Is that true?

Does a school have to have NROTC in order for you to do PLC. I've fallen in love with one of my top choices however they don't have NROTC nor will they allow cross town affiliation. I'm trying to find out if the school needs NROTC in order to do PLC. From what I understand, it takes place during...
