    Cadet Suspended from West Point after getting beaten by Singers entourage

    From WP Admissions Facebook... http://tinyurl.com/3k2p93w As far as I'm concerned, 'nuff said with respect to his separation. A jury will have to decide what they see in the video but that won't (or shouldn't) have any impact on WP's decision.

    Does having more than one congressional nomination help you in admissions?

    Larry, Send my your full name and the last four digits of your SSN and we can discuss why this may not be the best answer without knowing the particulars of this situation. :yllol: :yllol: :yllol: There is one case where only a single nomination is required. If the candidate has a Letter...

    Any advice?

    I would add... ... another reason to apply for SLS is, even if you don't get in, this effectively opens your file with admissions. ... take a look at the most recent class profile at http://www.usma.edu/class/2014/profile.asp. This will give you an idea on how you stack up with respect...

    NON-SHINY Low Quarters

    bakermiddle, A trip to Fort Benning probably wouldn't do you any good anyway. When we were looking last year, non-shiny low quarters were not to be found anywhere on post (or off). Someone suggested trying an Air Force base and, sure enough, Maxwell AFB clothing sales had exactly what we...

    Understanding the Process?

    Stay involved in scouts. When my son filled out his initial application for WP, there was a checklist of extra-curricular activities. Of the items on that list (and it was not a huge list), three were scouting related: involved in scouting, Eagle Scout, and Senior Patrol Leader. Work...

    ROTC nomination

    JROTC can nominate for their own "branch" (i.e. Army JROTC can nominate for USMA) whether or not the JROTC unit is an Honor Unit w/ Distinction. The JROTC unit must have the Honor Unit w/ Distrinction award if you are seeking a nomination for a different branch (you were in Marine JROTC but...

    A lot of trouble with applying to USMA

    First, take a look at this sticky over on the DoDMERB forum on this site: http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=3097 Send an email to Larry Mullen (Larry.Mullen@dodmerb.tma.osd.mil) with your full name and the last 4 digits of your SSN. State your DoDMERB questions and you...

    How competitive am I?

    Take the ACT as well. Some do better on one over the other (ACT vs. SAT). Take the tests multiple times. Report them all to WP. WP will track your high sub-scores. In other words, if you take the SAT again and make a 400 math, 720 verbal, your SAT scores as far as WP is concerned will be...

    the future

    Send an email to the admissions representative for the South East (based on the fact that your profile says you are in GA). Tell them what city you live in. Ask for the name and contact information for your MALO. Email address is: admissions.se@usma.edu

    Acceptance Letter

    The academies cannot legally offer an appointment until the candidate has received a nomination. An LOA is a way for the academies to say "Based on what we know now, you will be appointed if certain conditions are met." The big condition is usually "if you receive a nomination". LOAs can...

    Acceptance Letter

    Can't speak for AFA but my son got lots of small envelopes from USMA before the big envelope finally came. Just saying... don't freak out every time you get a small AFA envelope in the mail.

    ROTC/Academy?

    BTW, DoDMERB is a shining example of efficiency in this process.

    ROTC/Academy?

    Larry Mullen (Mr. DoDMERB) will be here shortly to confirm or correct but I believe that once you are in the DoDMERB system, all the Service Academies and all branches of ROTC can track your medical status. In other words, only one trip through DoDMERB is needed. No special action on your part...

    DODMERB Remedial time length

    You see what you've done, Larry? You've spoiled everyone and we can't even give you a day off. For all those working through the DoDMERB process this year, Larry Mullen is your new best friend. We just got back from RDay and the fact that my son (two waivers) is at WP is as much due to Larry...

    Copy of the actual waiver letter?

    dtkdarnoc, Same situation here. I pestered Larry Mullen and my son's admission officer. Both said no other documentation was needed. Being the worrier that I am, you can bet son will at least have a copy those emails with him. :smile:
