It is straight forward to get a class validated from the AP score. The information is on the USNA website. College class is a case by case basis; the academic advisor will evaluate her transcript and course syllabus when making the determination. Tell her to save a copy of the syllabus of the...

Why not, I don't see any harm.

For reference only. Last year Plebe Parent Weekend was Aug 11-13. Dates can change from year to year.

Based on last year, at least for conditional LOA, you should receive an email from the Dean stated that the offer is contingent upon completion of the remaining items by xxx date (I believe it was end of January for my candidate last year), with an exception for Medical.

According to DS who just hosted one, the candidates didn't go to King Hall on Thursday but were given dinner. Their midshipman could also find them things to eat.

CS is recommended but not required, especially if your school does not offer it. If you want to add CS aspect to your resume without a formal class, look into extracurricular or outside of school activities in coding, web development, or IT stuff. Or, may be pick up an online course. For SA...

Do your research and find out which AP can be used for validation (USAFA and wherever you plan to apply). You don't have to take exam for all, just the those that have potential for validation. For example, AP Lang and AP Lit may validate the same college course, so no need to take both if you...

I believe that candidate with a LOA who met all the conditions but waiting for a nomination do not need to win the slate in order to be offered an appointment. They only need to be one of the ten who receive a nomination, which fulfill the LOA requirement for an appointment.

I believe that you are referring to DodMETS and not DodMERB portal. The portal will say that your case is "Closed" once everything is completed. My guess is that since you have not done the physical examination, thus it is partially closed. This is from DodMETS (last year): " What does...

DS used these two books last year. They go together, the black book refers to the red book. Make sure that the red book is 2018 edition, so you may have to buy used and erase the answers. He said they really helped him. Key is to do a lot of timed practice tests. Good luck to you...

He went to opto by himself. I only had to go for physical. I would call and ask if he is a minor to see if you need to be there.

Last year when we went, they had me stay with DS during the exam. I think it was because he was under 18. From what I heard during last cycle, you can add or cross out things on the print-out form you are taking to the exam. His exam doctor put notes on the form, scanned, and submitted it to...

I saw a couple of plebes with 4 name tags. 😆

Do plebes get their cell phone back during PPW?

Here you go

Have you tried this?

1310 is a good start but if this is not the best you can do, try again until it is. You should also try ACT and see if it works better for you. If you can put your energy into getting SAT/ACT scores and CFA to where you want early in the cycle, you can later focus on the candidate activity...
