My DS2026 (yearling) also had his wisdom teeth removed before R-Day. There's nothing wrong with his teeth. His personal dentist also recommended removal, said it's better long term, those teeth are hard to care for due to location and cause issues later on. He's happy afterwards that he did so...

Good free resource for SAT/ACT practice: https://www.march2success.com/ Army info and also ROTC scholarship application (possible Plan B) https://www.goarmy.com/

There is no official reference but that is something easier for students to participate in and available almost anywhere - the number 150 is just a number big enough to show commitment and perseverance. People say Boys State, well that's not a thing where we come from. Less and less scouting...

I do not think it's the title that's important or the number of activities, it's your impact to any group activity that shows whether you've been a leader. People may have all sorts of title but don't really make use of their opportunity to make a positive difference. If you didn't participate...

Same with my other son applicant (2028) who's a college freshman. He sent his official college transcript (via the online digital national student clearinghouse) with no grades but included all his Fall23 classes with status of In Progress. It was accepted (portal turned green) and he got an...

Maybe the interviewer didn't submit his report yet. I believe they're required to give feedback of some form. Contact your interviewer too.

I agree the MOC usually has a copy as per my DS experience (class of 2026). After the panel interview, a MOC staff informed him that he had a USMA appointment waiting for a nomination and that he was getting one. He had a USMA LOE not an LOA. He also indicated in his nom applications that his #1...

High SAT/ACT score, lots of free resources for self study - take the test multiple times and superscore. Community service at least 150 hours, if you can manage it. Letter in Varsity sports, Team sports if possible. Become Team Captain. Work experience is also good. Show good leadership in the...

He should also use the Contact form inside his portal to contact the RC team. Someone monitors that, my son had always received a timely response that way. Didn't your son get a Request for Information correspondence in his portal prior to file closure? There's a minimum completeness and...

Also, you need to check onsite/crosstown ROTC schools if you're applying to multiple schools within a certain area. If commuting to the ROTC school may be an issue if you end up NOT going to the ROTC host school. You need to ask those kind of logistics and culture-fit questions to the ROO (and...

Sen Feinstein applications have been closed/discontinued as per senate rules. Sen Butler not nominating anyone this year. Above info confirmed by staff of our local MOC. So for CA noms, most will have only Sen Padilla and your local MOC, plus VP. (if you have service connected and ROTC that...

This is not exactly true. The same DodMERB exam data would be reviewed for each application within the same valid time frame. It is not automatic as each organization have different medical fitness requirements. My DS had multiple applications, reviews, and qualification letters - one for each...

When an organization requests medical qualification from DoDMERB for you, you're supposed to open online accounts for dodmets and dodmerb. Both of those have status reports indicating the processing of your medical qualification and if there are additional documentation required. Do login to...

I'd like to add that this is a great program. You can talk to a current cadet, as things do change and it helps to get the latest experiential info. It is also a good leadership opportunity for these current cadets. My DS participated in this mentoring when he was a candidate/applicant to USMA...

It may be legit. My DS is a cadet corporal participating. They will normally contact only candidates in their district, after contacting the FFR and sometimes the MOC nomination staff for their district. The email or phone used could be a personal email (non westpoint.edu) and personal phone of...

I've been somewhat following this issue since 2019 from the death of Rep Cummings, where his nominees/candidates had been "revoked". Hopefully this doesn't happen to CA applicants this time around. Background story...

17th Ammendment determines who will appoint the temporary replacement (Gov. Newsom) until the next CA senatorial election. https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/amendments-11-27

RIP Sen. Feinstein. Btw, the deadline for Sen. Feinstein noms had been extended up to Oct 15 even prior to this happening. https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/service-academy-nominations
