A few weeks ago someone posted a picture of all the gear given to plebes on I day laid out on a bed. Anyone remember what thread that was in? I can’t seem to find it. Thx.

Ok, for all the seasoned pros - I know that the right answer is to just remain patient. But just for the heck of it and to break up the monotonous wait...what are everyone”s best guesses for I day? On time or delayed? Parents allowed or no? Group oath or no? March into Bancroft and door...

DS expressed interest in USNA and DW and I had no idea why or what to expect. We were not a military family and I never expected my son to go on this direction. Fast forward DS was accepted, but not without a lot of missteps, confusion and angst. I was most concerned about A.) Is USNA the right...

DS has a nom and app has been complete since September. Was just named first team all district soccer. Please settle a house debate - is this worth contacting AC and updating at this point?

DS got an “advisement” from USNA urging him to finish his application. It seems pretty standard to me, but it seemed odd as the only thing open is BGO interview. The phrasing was “keep calm and finish your application”. Anyone else?

I love teachers. My wife is a teacher. Both my parents were teachers. Many of my friends are teachers. Their job is thankless and yet tremendously important. What we ask them to do in writing all these LORs is ridiculous to ask of anyone. But I really wish they would get my DSs done in a more...

ok all you current and former BGOs, this ones for you! DS has had everything completed in portal for a few weeks, just waiting on LORs from math teacher and guidance counselor. Nothing yet regarding BGO interview. He is unsure if he should reach out or just wait. Thoughts?

DS fractured his ankle 4 years ago. Since then he has played multiple years of varsity soccer and track - no issues. Given potential sensitivity to concerns about running - should he go to a doctor for a proactive follow up in advance of meeting with DODMERB doctor? So he has a DR note saying...

DS was offered 4 weeks to choose, one each in Aug through Nov. Is there a reason to go earlier vs later? The only reason I gave him was that if he goes later, and hates it, it’s too late for early admission option at play B schools. DS is convinced he will love it, doesn’t want to miss fall...

Is DS alone in having applied on day 1 in January and not having heard anything yet???

I value the insights and advice of the seasoned hands in this forum. You’ve all seen every aspect of this climb, and recognize every twist and turn. I know the admissions process for SAs is long, complex and arduous, with the added complexities of nominations, medical clearances, CFAs, lots of...

If there is a heavily recruited athlete on a MOCs slate, and assuming it’s an athlete the coach really wants, does that have a significant impact on the slate’s other candidates chances that are NOT recruited athletes?

Been lurking on this forum for a while - great info and very helpful to those of us very new to the process. Thanks to everyone that manages and contributes to this forum. As my DS is now officially pursuing 2024 SA appts, at what point does timeline become clear? Contacting BGO? CFA...
