I also had to get two new SOE's as a re-applicant.

gsfikaris, I sent you a PM.

I was originally an applicant for 2015 and had both the SLS interview and the MALO interview last year, I believe sometime in August. I was also contacted by my MALO because I was "competitive". My interview was somewhat different from those described above, as my parents were present for the...

bump. Anyone know if I can start the process now or if I have to wait for school?? Thanks!

I will be starting ROTC this fall at my college and will therefore be applying for an ROTC Nomination. What is the process for this? On my West Point candidate page, I can download a pre-filled-out letter to be sent to the Director of Admissions, but if I go to the Nominations page at usma.edu...

Hey I just saw you didn't receive a waiver for WP 2015 - same here. It'd be cool to stay in touch this year to help each other out during the process the second time around. Good luck with everything!

SaltLife:thumb: One other thing, as difficult as it can be to get good grades at your respective universities, West Point still expects them. What I was told was that if you can't do well without all the additional time demands of West Point, they believe you will struggle as a cadet...

I am also re-applying as an ROTC freshman. My best advice would be to talk to your FFR or MALO about what kept him from gaining his appointment the first time and work on that specifically. I've heard that activities and leadership are less important than grades since they understand you've...

There are a lot of examples online of initial letters of request for Senators and Congressman. Use those as a general guide.

I know this thread is from forever ago, but I applied for a nomination for West Point for 2015. At least last year (may change with Toomey replacing Specter), the Senators did not talk, as I and others received nominations from both. Not all of the Representatives talk with the Senators...

Yes you only fill out the form on the VP's site.

My portal opened this morning, so they are now starting to open non-SLS candidates' portals (I am re-applying - don't know if this makes a difference). lokichaos, I am from PA as well. Which district are you?

Princeton was actually one of the schools I was deciding between; however, after a very hard decision, I will be attending Dartmouth next year. Best of luck to your son - the cadre at Princeton seemed fantastic and I'm sure he'll do well!

If we are re-applying, do we have to re-send scores in order to open the SSK again, or do they pull the score reports up from the previous year? I am not sending any new scores, so I would prefer not to have to pay to have them sent again.

Hi VAMOM2015! I am also a future cadet in the class of 2015 and will be attending an Ivy League school. Which school will your Son be attending?

Sorry, I just returned home from a long flight and am really jet lagged - should have made my post more clear. I meant that I was stupid in not taking the initiative to apply for an ROTC scholarship, not that I assumed I would not have received one. I have been accepted to both Dartmouth and...

Hey everyone! So, college decisions are now out and I have a tough decision to make. I had originally hoped to go to West Point, but was medically denied and not smart enough to apply for an ROTC scholarship. Even without the money, I really want to participate in Army ROTC. My two school...

Whistle Pig, I understand your point about making sure students are coming for the right reasons. However, I have always been very passionate about my schoolwork and, while my main objective is to become an Army officer, I am now wondering about the challenge of and focus on academics. How do...

For what it's worth, I am currently having my file re-reviewed after being denied a waiver for USMA, albeit with some new information, so you can always keep trying. The other good option would be to go to college for a year and thrive academically and in ROTC to show your commitment and...

Same here! I'm in a bit of a special situation though since my medical waiver was already denied and I asked for a reconsideration.
