Lots of great advice above. Although she loves competitive sports, our Cadet has never really enjoyed training by herself. When she was preparing for the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA), she wanted some direction and at least one training partner. DD enlisted the support of her siblings...

From what I hear from DD, 10-15 books may be more than you want to have in the barracks. DD is also an avid reader, with overflowing shelves of books at home. She has kept only about 3-5 books at a time in the barracks that are not for her classes, and even that is somewhat of a burden. You...

My DD was excited to find an update to her USMA portal showing a nom from VA62, but she has not received any official notification. Anyone know if that is Sen. Kaine or Sen. Warner?

Your FFR can tell you where your application stands. DD has an LOA, and her FFR has confirmed that she is 3Q. Like you, she has not received any official notification. Good luck with noms!

Congrats, OP! DD had the same question. The LOA says: "You must send the Admissions Office your Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) results...by [DEADLINE] or this letter of assurance will be withdrawn." You are asking whether that means that you must submit passing results by the LOA...
