    Branching - How are the branches different?

    This makes it make a lot more sense thank you. I'm concluding getting a detail to another branch is not a choice so it's probably a good idea for cadets to select branches they are best suited for as their top choices.

    Thank you. IDK about WP but I do know someone, ROTC, right now who spent 6 months working at a recruiting center and is now in Ranger school.

    Branching - How are the branches different?

    Thank you for making this easier to understand. So on branch night even those who are assigned a support branch such as quartermaster, finance, etc., may be switched to a combat branch after they do their quartermaster, finance, etc., training? For example someone who branches quartermaster...

    I got the dreaded letter class of 26

    Oh dear, don't quit, not during BEAST. Quit after if he's sure it's not for him but the mental stress of BEAST puts the new cadets in a mental space where they really aren't capable of making life changing decisions - this is why they make leaving a process. Here is a little list that I foudn...

    How to choose a branch.

    I know there are 17 branches and I can see what they are but .... what are the jobs within the branches? Is there a site to see that? I am more specifically wondering what jobs are in quartermaster? If my DS chooses that branch what would he possibly end up doing for 5 years? I...

    Is it then that it's not as good anymore? I was told it is now a 401K plan instead of a pension.

    What are my chances of getting accepted?

    I don't know how you rate over all but your SAT score is very good. The GPA probably could be better. They are also going to look at your athletics and leadership.

    LOA's

    https://www.westpoint.edu/sites/default/files/pdfs/ADMISSIONS/Admissions%20Timeline.pdf Maybe this will give you an idea about the process. LOA's are very nice but very few receive them so not receiving one doesn't mean you're not going to get accepted. Regarding getting accepted - applicants...

    Reporting low SAT scores

    Thank you for sharing. That is so interesting .... I've heard people say how the WCS score is calculated is a mystery and this proves it's impossible to figure out completely.

    Reporting low SAT scores

    May I ask if your DD is a recruited athlete or if you are from a small congressional district? My DS had a 1310 and was told it needed to be higher so he took it again, (and again).
