    West Point Cheating Scandal

    If anyone's curious about the "site" that someone talked about earlier, let me know and I'll pm you if you already don't know. Also, just want to point out that as a TA at an Ivy league school, I will say that this "site" that the students use to get answers is heavily monitored by us TA's. In...

    Teacher Evaluation Conundrum

    College student also applying to USNA this year (though I'm a junior). When I contacted USNA earlier in September, they "strongly recommended" (which I interpreted as required) that I get SOE's from my college professors. To paraphrase the email, admissions want to see how much you've changed in...

    Does RA position look good for med school?

    Are you ROTC or Service Academy? I'm assuming based on your description that you're in a civilian college. The fact that you submitted this in these forums probably means that you are interested in military medicine. If not, you're probably in the wrong place. I'll give you a big tip. My parents...

    WP Required Recommendations

    From what I know (at least from the USNA side, but very much likely that the SOE's are the same), my teachers all said that they were mostly "evaluations"... as in rank the student on a scale (1-10) in leadership, participation, academics, etc. For each option, teachers had the opportunity to...

    2025 State Nominations Thread

    Not me, but a NROTC friend of mine who's a reapplicant flew to Texas last week for an interview with his rep. In person and 10(!) ft apart with masks (had to be one of those white high quality masks). Told me that they interviewed almost a month earlier than normal. What TX district are you?

    Critique (Do NOT chance me) my application/stats

    Thanks. Also, quick Update. Yesterday, I went to a recruiter on the other side of town and also brought a letter from my former ROTC instructor to support my candidacy for OCS. The new Recruiter said I should still go for OCS (was still competitive and had other things that prior-enlisted did...

    Critique (Do NOT chance me) my application/stats

    I was born an American citizen due to my birth parents, but was changed to Japanese citizen shortly after being adopted. When I became a Japanese citizenship, my new parents dropped my US citizenship. I'm not sure if any of you tried to be naturalized, but on average, major US cities take...

    Presidential Nomination Timeline/Chances

    Great stats, my CFA was also around that (I had less distance on BB throw, but more pushups) and I passed according to my RC. But I'm just curious... 6:30 mile time and Varsity in Track? Are you a sprinter?

    Field Force Interview

    On my portal, there is no requirement for an FFR interview. However, I was contacted by my FFR (who was contacted by my RC) to conduct an interview, which was done late last week via Facetime.

    Critique (Do NOT chance me) my application/stats

    Thanks for your reply. Regarding ROTC, I completed the first 2 years of ROTC (which does not require a US citizenship). I started college at 16 if that helps. However, I was informed by my instructors that in order for me to continue doing my 3rd/4th year of ROTC, I must have my US citizenship...

    Critique (Do NOT chance me) my application/stats

    Thanks. We might have. I've competed against some US athletes (all were tough and incredible), and I have utmost respect for all of them. Also, here's my Why Navy/Officer response simplified: "As the son of 2 doctors of the WHO, I've lived and experienced many different cultures and...

    Critique (Do NOT chance me) my application/stats

    Hi All, new user here. I'm applying for USNA 2025. With all the delays with USNA's application this year, I'd just like others to critique my application. Please don't chance me (instead, tell me where I lack so that I can prepare for interviews in case they ask me about my application "woes")...
