    Does anyone know much about the Defense and Strategic Studies major?

    You'll have plenty of time to ask upperclassmen and explore majors once you get to USMA. There is Majors night to display available majors and there's plenty of upperclassmen in a company to talk too. Doesn't hurt to look ahead but it's definitely a future you problem

    Validating classes at WP w/ AP credits

    If it's about money, then there's no need. You can't validate any of those classes( you can be put in the advanced section) However, if you want to major in STEM I'd recommend taking the AP CAL exam, so you can be put in the advanced section. Everything else is nice fluff but not necessary.

After I completed a portion of my application I recieved a letter letting me know I had failed but was deemed competitive enough to try agian. But the green box next to the req. In my portal was green the whole time. You will...

    How to update extra curriculars?

    Title itself is cool and all but won't impact your chances, I'm assuming you held officer position before so it will stay as "officer". What you do with your position, the difference you make in others and your community can be expressed to them through your personal letters and recommendation...

    WCS

    And don't try comparing yourself to other profiles, everyone brings something different to the table so the same credentials that get one person in may or may not work for you. Just be the best person you can be, pay attention to the details, and don't do nothing stupid

    WCS

    So many factors go into it, it's a headache trying to figure it out and not worth the time. Take it one step at a time and try your best in everything. If you make it good, knowing the numbers won't help, if you don't make it at least you will come out a better person
