    Email from Admissions Officer About Appointment

    Offers are updated Tuesday but don't show in your portal until Friday to give members of Congress the opportunity to be the first to contact you. Your RC likely forgot that and added you to the list, so congratulations and act surprised when you get the call.

    How does USMA choose who gets an invite to SLE?

    SLE selection is based on a number of factors but is driven primarily by academics (standardized test scores and GPA). You can continue to update with additional test scores, so the Feb ACT scores and March SAT scores can be sent in to update a file. Geographic representation is also an...

    USPS. The BFE's typically arrive the week after the offer depending on where you live.

    DISQUALIFICATION LETTER WITH ALL GREEN CHECK MARKS?

    It is likely the CFA. The status only shows that CFA scores and videos were submitted. If the scores are not passing or the videos are not up to standard, a candidate will be disqualified. If a CFA was submitted late (January timeframe), then the candidate only receives one chance to get it...

    College Re-Applicant

    Re-taking SAT/ACT's are critical for re-applicants. I recommend continuing to test as a senior to try to boost your scores so that you can focus on grades and ROTC in college. The WCS calculator you see online is also completely wrong so don't put much stock into what it says.

    Is it to late for a CFA retake? / Issues with uploading videos

    All CFA re-tests need prior approval and are at the discretion of the Regional Commander. You cannot just re-attempt and submit new scores because the system keeps your submitted CFA score and prevents additional scores from being added until it is reset.

    Activities Verification

    If it is not verified and submitted by your guidance counselor via the link that is sent from your candidate portal, it is not considered complete.

    Is it to late for a CFA retake? / Issues with uploading videos

    You cannot submit a CFA after the application deadline. If you do submit a passing CFA by 1200 AM EST, your file will be considered incomplete.

    Activities Verification

    The candidate activity must be submitted by the application deadline. It is not technically out of your control because you waited until the last minute to try to get it submitted.

    How do we know if CFA cleared

    The CFA event videos turn green after they are uploaded and confirmed to be viewable. The green status for the events DOES NOT mean they have been reviewed. The overall CFA status will only turn green after your file has been officially qualified which will not happen until your entire...

    CFA "score not on file/review pending"

    The system was just changed so that CFA videos only show green check marks when they are approved by reviewers. Prior to this, the green check mark meant that the videos were received and uploaded. There is nothing to worry about so please don't contact your RC and wait for your green check or...

    LOA and CFA

    If you have an LOA already, all you need to do is pass the CFA because you already hold a offer of admission contingent on qualifying academically, medically and physically (CFA). Your pull-ups and pushups are both on the low end, so the form on the video is going to be the deciding factor on if...

    How to talk to RC regarding LOA

    Every candidate that applies is considered for an LOA, but only those that meet specific talent and diversity criteria are offered once they complete enough of their application (official transcripts, SAT/ACT scores submitted and interview complete). Asking if you are being considered for an LOA...

    CFA

    That website is full of incorrect information, so I would caution about taking what's on there as law. With the CFA, what most candidates don't understand is that while your score matters, the number you get credit for after video review is what really matters. For example, very few candidates...

    How am I doing? Am I ready for the CFA?

    You should try to increase the number of push-ups and pull-ups. With the CFA videos, candidates are typically cut repetitions and your scores in both are below average. Focus on form as well as the overall number.

    Just received Letter of Assurance!

    @bluejayburrito I think that you might be mistaken in regards to receiving a LOA. An interview is required to receive a letter of assurance, and currently there are no letters of assurance that have been sent out. Letters of Assurance are also not sent via email and are sent via physical mail to...
