Why are you still undecided? Are you having second thoughts about WP specifically or the military generally? Are you waiting to hear from USNA or USAFA? Are you still waiting on college acceptances (I know Ivy day is tomorrow) or scholarships/financial aid from civilian colleges? Just...

I received this message in my portal: "We are pleased to advise you that the Admissions Board has recommended you for admission to the United States Naval Academy with the Class of 2025. You are guaranteed an offer of appointment if your remaining admissions requirements are satisfactorily...

I'm 3Q with a MOC nomination. I am so happy, proud and grateful, but I know I'm still not at the finish line. My MOC does not submit a principal nominee. A few questions: 1) What happens next? Does USMA pick the nominee from the slate with the highest WCS?; 2) Statistically, with 3Q and a...

Hi. I inputted the information for 3 additional recommenders in the new USNA application portal. None show up as received on my checklist (though all told me that they have made the submissions). Does anyone out there have those additional recommenders (as opposed to math, science, english)...

I received a letter indicating that I have been qualified "academically, medically, physically." The letter went on to explain that I am now on the National Wait List until I receive a nomination. I understand what this all means. But does this mean that I am not likely to receive an LOA? Or...

The board for AFROTC is supposed to be reviewing my application on Monday. Who exactly is the board (active duty, vets, civilians?)? I'd imagine there is more than one AF board across the nation looking over all of these? Are they grouped by region? At this point, I believe the technicians...

As most probably know, the USMA portal allows for uploading of letters of recommendation by the applicant. My teacher sent her letter recommending me directly to USMA as that is her established practice. Will I get some type of confirmation that they received the letter? I uploaded the other...

If for example a current WP cadet decides to leave, and that cadet is from my state or congressional district, does that mean the MOC who nominated the departed cadet will get an extra slate for the next admissions' cycle? So if 3 cadets from my state dropped out over the last year, does that...

Based on my research so far, Virginia Tech and the Corps of Cadets seems very appealing. A few questions: 1) Are all the branches equally represented, or does one branch seem to dominate in terms of numbers and the culture of the place; 2) Is there a lot of integration between the Army, Navy...

Hello. My AFROTC application is complete, to include an officer interview. I've also done the Fitness Assessment and been cleared by DodMERB. Under updates in my portal, I found this: "your scholarship application status is "Eligible".Your AFROTC Scholarship interview has been received and...

Received an email today reflecting this “test flexible” policy. Two important caveats. One, if you can’t take the SAT or ACT due to the pandemic, you must document efforts. Two, the PSAT will need to be submitted in its stead.

I was just invited to a 2-day candidate visit, which is supposed to approximate an overnight visit. Did anyone else get this invitation? In the past, did the invitation to an overnight visit signify that a candidate is being looked at very seriously? If I accepted the invitation, I would have...

From what I can gather, the CFA is for most pass/fail. You're either identified as a risk or not a risk. But some of the other posts seem to suggest that an exceptional performance at the CFA can help with your WCS. Does anyone have any sense how good your CFA is to get that bump? If for...

If you are bi-racial (in my case half caucasian, half asian), am I considered a "diversity candidate"?

Will I get notified or otherwise see in my application portal confirmation that someone has submitted a letter of recommendation on my behalf, or when my English or Math teachers submit their evaluations?

Hi. My question is in the title. I have a dear, elderly (and brilliant) teacher who will be doing my SOE for chemistry. She is not very adept at anything to do with computers however. I have sent her one reminder as it was a month since I submitted her email through the portal. A week later...

I am applying to USMA, USNA and USAFA. My goal is to serve and I would gratefully accept any offter that came my way. I want to fly. But I also find the infantry extremely appealing. My question is if I get into USAFA, and decide for whatever reason not to fly (or maybe am not qualified to...

I've seen a number of references in different posts regarding LOAs for the Class of 2025. If you are one of those recipients, congratulations! For the rest of us, I thought I'd try to get a single thread on the topic. For the lucky recipients, could you please post the date you started to the...

I tried searching forum archives, and the only thing I found was a thread that seemed to relate to CFAs taken during a summer seminar, and a request of that academy to share with other academies. So here goes...My question is if I am applying to USMA, USNA and USAFA, and given the pandemic did...

I know that each one of us applicants is assigned to an Admissions Regional Command. In the materials provided by USAMA, they show a map of the various regions and attached commander and diversity officer. For all practical purposes, will it be my regional command that will be making the...
