As another plebe to be in your same boat, I don’t have experience to draw back on and I don’t know the right way to say everything but DO NOT QUIT. Nobody has ever bettered themselves through lives of ease and complacency. It’s scary, but all of us are gonna fail a lot over these next weeks -...

Got it, thank you!

I’ve been putting in a lot of running mileage for the past few months and have battled some blisters on/off. For PS, am I allowed to bring blister patches that I use for the occasional blister or can they be mailed to me in a care package? Does anyone know if that would be permitted since it...

If your vision is correctable to 20/20 vision but you wear glasses normally, can you get lasik and go aviation? Do you need a waiver still or is it even possible at all?

Awesome. Thank you all for your help.

Quick question here - in 8th grade I had custom orthotics made and have worn those and over-the-counter orthotics since then on and off. To clarify, they actually weren’t medically prescribed. I don’t “need” them but if my feet start to hurt I’d like to have them. I assume (although I could be...

This depends on how early/late you plan on submitting the application. I’m not sure how updating ECAs go all the time, but in my experience I only had to update my application (after submission) once with an additional varsity sport/letter and my POC was great about it (he added it in). Maybe...

I wasn’t in a similar situation, but my friend was. Just my opinion, I don’t think it gives you an advantage. As long as you present yourself well in that interview and have the hard work to back that up, you’ve already done everything you can. My friend and I were both nominated to USNA and...

Ah, good to know. Thanks!

Roger that. Thank you ma’am!

Got it and thank you!

Maybe this is just me being paranoid, but my portal hasn't changed since accepting my appointment in December (I have uploaded all proper documents and mailed in records check). At which point will we get to choose our desired courses/get our schedule or does that even happen before I-day? I...

I both sent it and uploaded it. Not sure if that’s what you’re supposed to do but the instructions were confusing considering there is an upload button.

😂😂 you’re right - I better get that out of my vocabulary

Are you allowed to bring (and wear) your own prescription sports goggles/specs for PS if you own them? I’d rather dirty those than any other glasses.

So what would they do with the people that passed out? They wouldn’t send them home right?

II usually pass out just for a few seconds when I get blood drawn. Will that be a problem on I-day? This is probably a stupid question but just want to know 😂

An LOA/conditional offer is the same thing. I was in basically the same situation as you - on CPR for a while, and then boom, LOA appeared same day as nom. At that point in my process, however, I had been medically DQ’d and under waiver review for 2 months. At around the 3 month mark since my...

From a lot of things I’ve seen on here, it seems to take a small period of time for them to change it from incomplete to CPR. Just stay patient, although it doesn’t hurt to email your admissions POC if you’re concerned.

I'm no expert, but you already have an outstanding resume in my opinion. If you are able to get a similar and hopefully higher score(s) on the SAT along with continuing everything listed here (such as continued good performance in IB classes, involvement and leadership in your extracurriculars...
