USMA says they will mail the books May 11th.

Last time I talked to my FFR they said that West Point has been releasing decisions a couple weeks later compared to previous years. Just a couple weeks left!

Congrats! My portal was updated Saturday morning and the BFE came later that afternoon.

Each test is separate but they do super score within the same test.

The essay (writing portion) has to have been taken at least once so if you were happy with your essay score the first time, you aren’t required to take the essay again if you took the SAT/ACT again. However, you have to stay within the same test, in other words, USMA doesn’t super score between...

I talked to my admissions counselor recently and they said that interviews are no longer optional and “If the board requires amplifying information, they will contact you.”

West Point’s official twitter just tweeted that 300 offers of admissions have been mailed. Crossing fingers!

prospective2019, when you say "appointments were said to go out today" is that notifications put onto the portal or BFEs put into the mail?

I’d recommend a guy named Stew Smith. He’s got some really great tips online and even has a video talking about the CFA itself. One tip I have would be to practice the exercises together, especially the pull ups and push ups, since the arms will already feel sore going into the push ups.

This is some really great advice. One thing I would also highly recommend would be to get organized and stay organized. I keep a 3 x 4 ft whiteboard in my room with all the deadlines because soon enough those deadlines will sneak up on you and it's just about impossible to keep track of them...

There is a certain number of items on your application each academy requires you to turn in before they will request your medical exam. Your situation means that USAFA is the only one to request your exam so far, however, once you have completed the necessary number of items on your other...

Hello, I just had a conversation with an officer in the navy who is a cryptologic warfare officer and was able to tell me what it was like and the things he did. For example, he said he was transferring to the a "red team" where, per request, they try to enter a ships network and test how...

Hello, I have my CFA tomorrow afternoon and while I know there’s a possibility to retake it, I’m still kind of nervous especially with the running events. Does anyone have any final tips?

So today was our second to last day in my physics class and we had to present our final projects. Long story short, our teacher got mad at my group and the rest of the class for being difficult when it comes to our grades. Our final grades were due today and she seemed pretty stressed out which...

I am currently in the process of gathering recommendations and evaluations from my teachers, however, I'm not sure what an "evaluation" at USNA is. Does anyone know the similarities and differences of letters of recommendations, evaluations, and school official evaluations (like the ones used at...

I would try converting your grades to a 4.0 scale manually. Here's the college board's official scaling: https://pages.collegeboard.org/how-to-convert-gpa-4.0-scale *Just make sure to double check to avoid any problems down the road!

I’ll double check if I can do it on a different surface because our gym floor is made up of this laminated, dusty wood floor. Thanks for all the advice.
