NHS is a good start, but look for additional leadership opportunities. Run for class office, NHS office, any and all club offices, put in for Boys/Girls state, play multiple sports (unless you can be a recruited athlete in 1... multiples will get you more points) and get your coaches to name...

This is a hard time, so many highly qualified prospects will receive late TWE's knowing that they were so very close to getting the appointment. Extreme disappointment and a very high level of frustration at not getting the appointment is to be expected and is perfectly acceptable. Keep your...

DS went through it last year as a strong 3q candidate and did not receive his TWE's from USMA and ASAFA until May. He had a good plan B with leadership, academic, and ROTC scholarships to a local university and has really enjoyed the campus and ROTC life. He only reapplied to USMA this time...

They are still looking at candidate files. RC contacted my DS yesterday to inquire about his first semesters college transcript. He had mailed an official transcript on January 10th. RC had acknowledged receipt during a conversation requesting a couple more college professor SOE's at the...

If you checked your portal last night and did not see the offer, don't give up hope. To make yourself feel better, just look at last years appointment thread and see how many offers (the majority) were made AFTER the initial push. The first wave was Mid/Late January and the list jumped to 60+...

bumping this thread back to the front page to get it ready for all the upcoming replies. Sorry to all of you hovering on the web site for giving you a heart attack... but no new news yet. :tank1: :tomcat: :tank:

It seems like every FFR I speak with has a story of meeting a prospective cadet who showed up in shorts/flip flops to either an interview or information event. That story never ends well for the prospective cadet.

Dress to impress. It is always a good idea to be over dressed than to show up in jeans/tennis shoes and find out all the other prospective cadets showed up in slacks/dress shoes.

Last year our DS heard back on his first nomination 12 days after the interview via email from his MOC's secretary, this was followed by a posting on their web site listing all of his Service Academy nominees. Then his portal updated showing the nomination 2 days later. Another week later he...
