DS will likely accept his appointment for USMA 2028. (go Army!) We made R day reservations at Bear Mountain Inn and I would like to book A day and Plebe parent weekend as well. Does anyone know the dates for these? I checked Thayer's website but didn't see exact dates. Thanks!

DS did an overnight visit at West Point this past weekend. except for during the football game (it poured the entire time ha ha), the weather was perfect and we were able to appreciate what a beautiful place West Point is. I have to give the admissions office kudos for a great informational...

DS received an LOE with an invitation to do an overnight orientation visit. Does anyone have experience with what parents usually do (and where they stay?) during the visit? Obviously, we don't plan to be anywhere near him during the visit but we weren't sure how long the parent tour and...

DS did his CFA with his PE teacher this morning at his school. We think he did really well was above average on everything and maxed out a couple of the events. Is there a way for us to score this ourselves based on his raw scores? And when will his overall score be available to us? Will it show...

When we logged onto my DS’s portal The link to his candidate kit was gone. He has already completed a significant portion of the application, but it’s definitely not finished. Anyone else having this issue?

Has anyone had any success logging into the Teams app for the USAFA for summer seminar? We are still getting the message that my son’s email account does not work. We will send an email to the administrator, but I wondered if anyone has had any luck with this

DS is preparing to take the CFA. We have all the information from the West Point website that list all of the maximum performance scores and the instructions for each event. Here’s the information that is not so clear to us 1. Is there a way to find out what your score would be (a score...

Can an AP Bio teacher write an SOE since this was a class that required a Lab?

How important is the ACT writing score for admission? I can’t seem to find the average ACT writing score for the most recent classes anywhere. DS scored an 9 and we don’t think he needs to take it again since no other colleges he’s interested in require it. (Also got a 32 superstore so he will...

My DD got an AROTC scholarship in 2018 (she ended up going to Notre Dame on the scholarship and is serving in the reserves). Neither her or I can remember how many colleges she was allowed to list on her application and things may have changed since then anyway. My DS is getting ready to apply...

Just watched the Facebook briefing on SLE put on by West Point admissions. A very good presentation and got some good information. They gave a range of SAT test scores they are looking for for SLE. My DS scores fall well within those ranges and he is a two sport varsity athlete and has decent...

I’m seeing that some people got SLE offers yesterday. Nothing for my DS. He applied early as soon as he was able. GPA test scores and athletic participation all great (or so we thought!) does anyone have any experience with how often they offer the SLE admissions? Do they usually go out all at once?

Anyone have experience with the West Point summer sports camps? Specifically, wondering about the track and cross country camps. Not sure if there are a lot of highschoolers who attend these or are they mainly for younger kids. Thought it might be a good chance for my DD who is a current...
