I just learned I'll have a family member up here for Herndon on May 15th. I've heard you're typically pretty shot afterwards, but could anyone share with me what the rest of the day after the climb looks like? Do you get an overnight or town libo? Thanks

A few questions I didn't see in the instructions or PTR. For "Service/Civilian category" what branch do I put or do I put civilian? Do I put USNA as Duty Station? Do I fill out the boxes for "military only" on the form? (as opposed to civilian contractors who leave them blank) I wasn't sure...

Just a note: I have seen COUNTLESS times posts about parents being worried or extremely stressed about admissions. They then go on to say that DS or DD is doing great however and is completely calm and doing better than they are. This is likely not true! As an applicant, my parents said the...

To share an idea from a poster on the West Point feed, I wanted to make a thread regarding all things plebe summer. Basically a hot spot for Plebe Summer discussion, advice and stories. This will keep this kind of clutter out of the Words of Wisdom - for Plebe Summer (Parts I and II) thread. Not...

What does the path look like for USMC selectees after they get Marines as their assignment as a Firstie? If I were to qualify and select to go Marines out of USNA, when do you find out your actual MOS. From what I gathered when being there for CVW after Firsties got career asignments, the...

This PDF "Extended Offer Documents" just showed up in my portal, 2 weeks after my appointment, but clicking on it does nothing. I'm assuming its something that once I accept I can access, but want to be sure. Thanks

I have a buddy applying to USMA CO 27' and is still hopeful. He has low Standardized test scores however, and I am aware this is enough to keep someone out of a SA in contrast to other applicants who don't have holes like that. He has not, however, been sent to DoDMERB yet, likely because of...

Just recieved my appointment and email today. In my email it says "I suggest that you carefully read the pamphlet entitled "Message to Future Midshipmen" available within the Candidate Information System (CIS)" I don't see this document in my portal. Do I have to accept to see it? Thanks

I am done with all aspects of my application at this point so now begins the waiting... I just wondered what kind of news I might find out at this point. I know that LOA's are conditional based on completion of certain parts of the app., but since I am done I do not think I would get one. Those...

Should I put things in the CAR as years planned/expected or years actually completed? I know it has to be verified. For example, I'm starting my second year of XC. I haven't competed in any meets this year yet however. Should I put 1 or 2 years? Also, I know I will letter, so should I but...

I am sending in some SAT scores. On my first test, I got a 1330. This was 720 English 610 Math. On my second test I got 1400 with a 750 English and a 650 Math. Should I send in scores from both tests for any reason? Would this help to show active test taking and improvement and/or to match...

Good Evening, I am filling out my portal "high school record" and have a question on how to input my college classes. I will have taken 4 community college classes by the end of senior year (already taken 2). These are what I guess is dual enrollment. They show up at the end of the year on my...

I have scheduled a zoom meeting with my BGO this Wednesday. He stated the "Objective would be to see where you are in the application process and to coordinate next steps" I just had a few questions that maybe some people who are more familiar with BGO's could answer. 1. Should I mention Army...

Good Morning, I wondered if there was a time I would be able to meet the various sports/coaches during NASS. In particular, although it sounds like more of a club sport, I would love to meet with the Jui Jitsu team to learn more about how their season works etc. I currently train several times...

Hello, I just got into SLE week 1 and have already payed for as well as done forms for NASS, having selected the NASS week 1. This would make them back to back. Due to other summer plans that have now cleared up, this was my only option, but now, if an option, it would help me to move my NASS...

Hello, I had a quick question regarding some opinions about my summer plans. I have been planning for a while to during the summer attend SLE, NASS, Boys State, and my NJROTC Programs "Leadership Academy" at the Citadel. I have at this point, gotten into all of these except SLE. I was hoping...

I have completed my preliminary application for C/O 2027, and received acceptance to NASS. I have read some places that acceptance to NASS makes you an official candidate. Based on what I have read it sounds like others have either in their NASS acceptance email or otherwise found info...

I have not gotten into SLE yet but I have gotten into Summer Seminar at Navy. My hope was to be able to attend both to get a better comparison of the two schools. I have noticed others posting about SLE admission, and I applied I think the day it opened, so once I saw this It made me wonder if...

I know that there are other forums about this. I am just facing a really hard choice right now. I am applying to both USNA, and USMA, and I figure that the decision of where I go will be decided by if/where I am accepted. Even this far ahead though, I find it troubling to think of deciding a...

Good Evening, I am applying for the first of my three nominations options and got to the point where it asked for first and second choice of academy's. This being the Naval Academy forum, this may be slightly biased, but from what I can gather USNA is more selective as far as nominations...
