With current Supe. (Superintendent) they can pick roommates after Plebe year. I have two sons at USMA and you have to get used to working with different personalities. Surprisingly enough, older son got best grades semester he had least favorite roommate.

As a couple of others have said, WAIT till you know a definitive diagnosis before contacting DODMERB or the Academy. Right now you know neither the diagnosis or have a suggested course of treatment. Wait till you know for sure, then contact DODMERB. Once you pull that pin you have thrown the...

I agree with others that have said to contact admissions - both by phone and then codify by email after you get advice from them - repeat their advice or instructions back to them in an email so both sides are clear on how it would be handled if not resolved by report date. Good luck - depending...

All of the academies will want final transcripts at the end of school year to ensure final grades and graduation. USMA has a standard request for 7th semester transcripts, I do not think USNA does that - especially if an offer has already been made.

Yes, usually a short time after you “accept” the offer the admission packet will show up and the list of items to submit (under application overview) will grow.

It is not late in the process, much to the contrary…. Last year my DS #1 was a principal nom. with 3Q letter in January and did not see his offer till around the middle of March! He knew it was coming but took a while…. This year, DS #2 was 3Q in January, principal nom and got his offer Feb...

Social Security card and some other forms can be submitted using the “upload” function just like the CFA videos. There are drop-down listings for the SS card and s few other forms. Many are emailed to the appropriate point of contact at USMA.

I believe a couple of my DS’s disqualifications were for the epidural bleed (with spontaneous resolution - I believe there may be another category that is used for intervention if needed) and a concussion where symptoms took longer than three months to resolve. Each condition needs to be waived...

I will give you a little hope, but as stated - all injuries are unique and needs of the services change yearly, as do waiver criteria. In my son’s sophomore summer he rode a push scooter home from lifeguarding and sustained a significant crash on pavement (no helmet - and yes he knew the rules!)...

Sonar, the choice is a very personal one and what is the right choice for one person may not be right for another. That said, I was also a Marine Mustang and in USMA aviation. For years I had hoped my boys would follow me in the Corps. My middle son, now a plebe at USMA, always wanted to be in...

Not unless your MOC is willing to release information but I would believe they will not. Most MOCs only release press information of those offered appointments to the various service academies.

No suit! As Arail5 states, khakis and a nice polo are great. You will see all measure of clothes on visiting candidates. My DS has hosted many. I have had two sons that did their visits before being offered appointments. You may not be able to participate in athletic type classes but may be able...

The CFA will normally stay yellow until the admissions committee reviews your file. My DS had CFA submitted in September. Both videos turned green when submitted (just shows they were submitted) but CFA stayed yellow until his file went to admissions committee in January. Finally, the CFA turned...

They should receive an email. It will also show in “official correspondence” in his portal. It will not say “3Q or 2Q.” It might say admission status or something like that. It will say that the admissions committee has determined that he is qualified academically and physically (CFA)(this would...

A letter saying that your are qualified academically, and physically, but waiting on medical is very common this year due to the DODMERB outage. That IS your 2Q / 3Q letter. You probably will not receive another letter until you receive (or not) an offer of appointment. My DS (#2 at USMA) got a...

Last year I underwent a VERY intense security investigation (full background, polygraph, twenty year history, etc…) for a senior leadership position in law enforcement. I came from military, have had professional screenings, and worked in government in DC for almost thirty years. I was amazed at...

As Capt. Meyers states, they want to know about the surgery, recovery, and ability of use now. The surgeon can attest to what the condition was before the surgery and the procedure, but that may have been a year, two, or many years ago - so, they also want a current pediatrician/ physician that...

USMA can take a while under “normal” conditions. It took almost three months for my DS to finally get through USMA waiver last year where USNA and USNR took only a couple weeks. I have posted on other forums how USMA’a waiver process is slightly different. We did proactively upload doctor’s...
