As with any team, prior experience helps but isn't required. I personally don't know any school that has a sport like Orienteering except for maybe counting Cross Country. As for the rest of the questions, I am not the person to ask because long-distance running was never my thing so I didn't...

It is possible to eat a vegetarian diet at USMA. There is a companymate of mine who went through Beast with it, and during the school year they do accommodate as well. Just make sure to let your Beast Cadre know and they will make sure that you get what you need.

Ultimately, I would not stress too much about opening a PenFed account. WP forces you to have a PenFed account and takes care of it during Beast. However, I personally find it easier to just use my home bank because all my money was already there. The PenFed reps will do a lot of pushing for all...

Yes there is. There's one on the top floor of the library. I believe there are also a few scattered around companies but you'd have to go looking for those.

What kind of Orienteering is it? Is it like West Point's where it's basically Cross Country Land Nav or is it more relaxed and not as serious? Because I at least consider WP's Land Nav extremely athletic-focused

It depends based on the Academy, I believe at WP it just has to be correctable to 20/20. and from what i've heard DO NOT get corrective eye surgery until you're at the academy, this can completely ruin your application if something goes wrong, plus the Army will pay for it here. All in all...

In addition to what i've seen everyone say so far, WP completely changed how branch assignments work this past year, with a huge emphasis on how well you interview. So no, it's not guaranteed that you will get a combat arms role. However, there was a Firstie in my Company this year who put all...

All cadets are required to go unless you are one of the upperclassmen that have the Q shift. The spirit pass you have as a Plebe is meant for you to travel for Army Navy (or else you're getting up at ~0400 to ride the Boomerang). i've heard of people getting an extra spirit pass for that game...

I personally spend my weekends asleep just because I don't have much else to do and I don't like doing homework (that's my Sunday night thing). TBH, weekends are your opportunity to get a break from academics and do what you want to do. I have friends in my company that go out basically every...

They're supposed to send it to you* Didn't happen for 2023, hopefully it'll happen this year but I feel like the coronavirus will cause issues with that.

As I haven't seen their post yet (maybe I just missed it). As a great SAForums legend always says, take a coin and assign WP and MIT to their own sides. Flip it. If you're satisfied with the school it landed on, then go there. If you have second thoughts or feel like flipping it again, then you...

BobSanderz, I was in your exact shoes last year. As countless others have already stated, choose the school that lets you come out the best financially. I ended up going to my last choice school and screwing one of my best friends over because I had the talk with my parents and came to the...

Nah I wasn't meaning like could you take one or the other, I was just meaning like standardwise (I didn't know you didn't have to take the ACT W Essay every time like the SAT required)

Wait, is the ACT different from the SAT then? Because both times I applied they were requiring the SAT with Essay for each one...

@BobSanderz Your SAT scores should still be in. @okboomer for the most part, no. Your team will most likely not walk through with you piece by piece as they don't want to give an unfair advantage to you over other applicants. However, they might give you a broad generalization but it's not...

Would definitely recommend trying to boost that math score, West Point loves math. Also, your push ups could use a little work too, but I would definitely focus more on the pull ups (push ups'll come with it)

All, With the first wave being right around the corner, I thought it would be a good thing to offer another opportunity for those on the NWL or are unsure if they want to come to West Point (or even if you are since it never hurts to know more) to find out about the United States Military...

@Zaggs yeah, the interviews during SLE take place of the FFR interview.

@billyb I've taken boards every day in all three of those subjects so far. Anyway, yeah, from my experiences, there's not really that much different between a regular college and West Point in terms of learning styles any more. I can think of maybe 2-3 classes last year that did not use the...
