Wondering if anyone here can give some insight as to how the Service Academy ADSOs effect GI Bill eligibility. I understand that generally, you have 3 more AD years to serve receive 100% of the GI Bill - 8 AD years on a typical timeline. Is that rule with the 5 year commitment the same with the...

Am USMA Cadet now. I know SAMI occurs at USAFA. How does it work at USAFA specifically? Is it also once a semester like here at Army?

If you’re an academy cadet/midshipman who goes through Beast/BCT/Plebe Summer but is unable to join the rest of their class for their 4/C year, are you still able to utilize a AFROTC scholarship at a regular school? I have USMA in line and I’m just counting down the days until, but I also have...

I'm not really sure about how scholarship recipients for AFROTC are paired up with their major/school. For the school, does the scholarship recipient still have a choice of school, as long as it is within the top 5 preferences on the application? Or is the school chosen for the recipient as...

To anyone with more than 1 nomination, does your portal reflect that? I got 3 noms but I only have my initial nomination from my MOC showing. I’m curious if the portal isn’t designed to show more than 1.

USNA application portal was updated with this status. I have no clue what this means. Anyone familiar with it?

Was medically qual’d w/ a nom and an LOA- everything is done. It’s just a waiting game now. Same exact situation with USMA too. Any insights for the wait?

Just wanted to say it was a fun experience for anyone who can go, and it’s absolutely worth the trip! All expenses paid overnight stay with Midshipmen from Nov 11 to Nov 13. Highlights for me included starting the day by playing soccer with Mids in the pouring rain at 6:00 AM and some funny...

I haven't been able to access the website all of today and yesterday. It was working Friday when I scheduled my optometrist exam. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue. I've tried it on different web browsers and both on phone LTE and actual wi-fi as well as phone vs computer.

I submitted mine this past week and was wondering what kind of notification there would be for whether or not I passed. It's been green in my portal since the middle of this past week so I'm starting to lean towards pass. I think notification only may come upon failing but I'd like to know for...

I was wondering about shaving waivers because I am a person who struggles to shave without getting excessive inflammation/irritation and bumps on my face to the point where I can't shave every day, (can only shave 1x a month to only experience minor irritation for a couple of days) which is...

Title. I received an LOA from USMA and I’m wondering what the opinion here is on whether or not it improves chances of receiving a nomination.

Title says it all. I initially inputted the wrong SSN into West Point's system by one number. I did not realize this until I tried to access DoDMERB. I have since been able to access DoDMERB on an educated guess as to what and where my bad input was, but I cannot seem to update my SSN. Even on...

Can it be updated after submission? As in, could I add an extracurricular that I participate in during my senior year of high school, if it isn't already on the CAR? If I can make changes somehow, how would I do so? I cannot find any information pertaining to this on the candidate portal.

As the title says, I'm just trying to gather some advice for my profile for applying to USNA. Stats below, and I would love to hear any advice/criticism. Thanks in advance 3.75 GPA 32 ACT 37/308 class rank Varsity letter - football, academic letter (high academic standing) Scholar-Athlete...

I see that West Point candidates are able to upload letters of recommendation on the candidate portal through a document uploader. Is there any specific information on how many letters we can send?

Math teacher, English teacher, etc. How important are those evals in the grand scheme of the application? I also am wondering if anyone knows exactly what those teachers would be writing in those evals, compared to a normal letter of recommendation.

Curious about what y'all think on this. Taking 4 APs senior year, only because they weren't open to me beforehand due to the progression system my school has for core classes. I'm already on-track to have taken all the courses USAFA would want at a high/AP level. I guess the better question...

I've was hired for a host job at a restaurant a few weeks ago and was wondering how that is viewed in the USAFA application- is being employed something that will help my application stand out, in extracurricular activities or otherwise?

I am a high schooler entering my junior year (high school graduate in 2022). I'm in a graduating class of about 300 and I estimate I'm in the top 15-20% of my class. My stats: 3.75 GPA Have taken 2 AP classes, plan on taking another 6 AP classes. Also have taken advanced (basically just honors)...
