I had a few questions I wanted to ask about the dress shoe fit. I recently ordered the recommended boots and low quarters. The boots fit great but the low quarters have a bit of heel slip in the back with normal socks on (they move up about an inch). Will you wear them with thin dress socks or...

Does anyone have any suggestions on workout programs I could follow in order to prepare for Beast and USMA as a whole. I have access to a full gym with an area to do sled pushes or set up a round type of workout so equipment isn’t really an issue. I enjoy lifting weights but I obviously know...

I reached out to my FFR regarding an interview, they agreed a day later and asked some basic information such as where I lived and if I wanted to do it online. After I responded they didn’t respond for a week so I sent a follow up email to which they haven’t responded either in a little over a...

I just took my cfa and I am fairly certain it will pass; however, the videos I took were not great. On the pull ups it’s a view from my back because I thought they would want to see if I fully went down but I just realized you can’t see my chin which makes it hard to tell if I am going over...

Both of my state's senator nomination applications were due on the 30th of last month. One of the offices got back to me shortly after and scheduled an interview which will be coming up this week. The other has yet to reach out. Does it sometimes take a while for them to schedule interviews or...

When I try to log into my application it brings me to a separate page that asks me to change my primary password. I am sure I am inputting the correct password. When I try to enter what I want to change my new password to it says I could not change the password. This has been happening for the...

Hello, I am working through the application and wanted to ask a couple of questions. There are three things I have yet to complete: essays, CFA, and recommendations. The essay should be done shortly but I have questions regarding the other two. 1. When is the CFA due? Personally, I feel like I...

I am applying for the class of 2028. I applied for a nomination from my representative a little over a month ago and have had no word back. I went through his website and did it properly. Since then I have had new awards that would make my application even better. What should I do? Do I fill...

I just received an email saying I got my Second Step Kit, allowing me to continue on my application. However, I was under the assumption that this did not happen until August, about two weeks after SLE. The reason I believe this is I heard one of the advantages of attending SLE is getting your...

I recently received 1440 on my SAT and submitted it. I also took the ACT but only got a 29, which is about 1340 on the SAT so considerably lower. However, I got a 9 on the essay which I know West Point cares about a lot. Should I submit both or only my SAT as it is a much better score?

I have been building my application for West Point and one thing that I always knew was important was Boy's State. This leads me to talk to my counselors close to ten months ago. After I explained my reasoning they seemed on board and were excited to send me. I reached out about 8 months ago and...

While reading through the forums, I found out that different activities can hold the same weight as a varsity sport. For example boxing. Would the same hold true for something like weightlifting? The reason I am asking is it is not as similar to traditional sports, especially because first, it...

I realize SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization focused on getting students jobs in the future, which might not line up exactly with West Point as the military is not a trade job. To make it worse our school has no engineering chapter open so I joined the graphic design...

I want to major in engineering probably mechanical. I want to start by saying I am not talking as much about how rigorous it is (as it can be rigorous but still not great) but instead about how good the academics are in terms of how much I will learn and be prepared. I know other SMCs rank...

So I have very good academics. -1/117 for class rank -1500 on SAT (only my junior year so I can probably improve it) -Perfect 4.0 unweighted, only one AP as that all our school offers, plus about 5 college courses by the time I graduate. Although this seems very good, is it enough to make up...
