Congratulations on your acceptance! This is a great question. Your GPA will be 3 fold - military, physical, and education. This is important to keep in mind because although academics weigh the heaviest, if you are wanting to earn 3.5+ GPA you will need to do well in all categories. The...

A high quality duffel with backpack straps that fulfills carry on requirements. We found a good one through Ogio. This duffel/backpack will be able to hold all the items they will need for beast and can be used for easy transfer (if packed correctly) on R-day. Label it carefully so it doesn't...

Congrats on your appointment! I would definitely take your scheduled AP tests if you feel there is a likelihood of passing. If for some reason you decide/or need to transfer from West Point, you will be able to validate those classes at the school you transfer to. There are a few plebe classes...

My son packed all of his R-day supplies in 4 - 2 gallon Ziploc bags, made for very easy transfer during the 60-90 second bag transfer time. Camping supply stores or online sell larger bathing wipes - he said that being able to clean up a bit before going to sleep each night in the field is a...

Could he use merit scholarship for tuition etc. and ROTC scholarship for room and board at that school?

Tell them in a thank you card or note! They are a huge piece of where you find yourself today! A Winner, Congratulations!

It is scheduled for Monday June 27th.
