It is my understanding Step 2 is supposed to open June 1st. DS will need letters of recommendations from teachers: Math, English, Chemistry, PE and school official--is this correct? DS last day for Junior year is 5/21 and he wants to go ahead and ask them if they will write the letters before...

Mere2033--DS did receive this noncommittal letter at the beginning of April. From my understanding, it means you are competitive and to keep progressing forward!

BBall--he did. In fact he just got his SAT results this week and updated them--700 math and 660 Verbal. Hope this helps.

Hopefully soon Amy!

Hang in there abby---hopefully soon!

DS just got his! Thank you Lord!

Just wondering if anyone has received an SLE invite this week (4/19)? The first round were due Sunday 4/18 for payment and decision. Then it is just silent. Any insight?

DS is still waiting. The deadline was yesterday for those invited to pay for their spot. So I say in the next couple of days they will send out more invites!

I can try to help. My son is a Junior as well and has filled the CQ. This is how I understand it: All of your application (including nomination) must be in by Jan. 31st 2022. This is a hard deadline--no extensions. The earlier you start the better. If you are on Facebook you need to go on...

I agree. The candidate portal very clearly states to take the writing. My son will take the SAT with essay on June 5. I believe that is the last offering by SAT for writing. But the ACT will continue to offer it for now. Part of your application needs to reflect you work hard, are...

F4EF15-What state are you in? We are in SC and the SAT and ACT have been open for months now. You could fly/drive to SC and back to your home state--just be mindful of what your home state's quarantine guidelines are for when you go back home. SC is an open state.

Prospective2019–Thank you so much for clarifying and for your encouragement. I will definitely pass this on to my son.

DS received an email a few days ago from his local FFR requesting an interview with him. DS is very excited and is scheduling that interview. However, DS has not received an invite to SLE—which has him a bit bummed and a bit confused. Can anyone shed some light on if this is still a good sign...

you still have hope if you have not received a denial notice!

Your son that did not get into SLE but did get the appointment-did he bring his SAT up? If so to what score? My DS SAT is 1280, Verbal =660 Math =620. He retook it in March and is waiting on his scores.

For those of you who did receive an invite--does it say how long you have to accept or decline? For example, Navy said you have 10 days to respond--does USMA have anything like this? Thank you.

Well, DS has not received an invite. Very disappointing. He does have a good SAT score from college board on his application. Great GPA--all the other stuff--boys state, varsity letters in football and soccer, captain of soccer. FF just reached out to him Monday and wants to do an early...

I understand it, but it is disappointing. Better virtual than nothing at all. Maybe they will allow visits this summer so DS can actually see it?

There is no dumb question! We are all learning as we go! My son received the non-committal letter too and his congressman doesn't open the application process until May 15th. Both senators open in June. My son is going to get ready what he can--it states on their website what is needed. Then...

Alex874-Who was your email from? I watched the FB WP info session last night and she said there are 2 more things that need to happen surrounding SLE before they can send out the invitations. The invites should go out either by late Friday this week (meaning today or tomorrow) or early next...
