Wow! What a guy. He sounds amazing.Besides the football player that I've mentioned earlier going to USAFA, my school also has another student like your brother going to USMA. He is brilliant and I 've heard one of the first chosen for his class this fall. He is not very athletic though so I hope...

But Flyerdreamer, it is ok to accuse other posters of being "resentful" . Wouldn't want anyone to think you are resentful. That statement was not necessary in your post.

Sorry thought I was done. Thank you for your post it was very good. No, I'm not saying that he didn't have to fill out everything. But, that the process was very streamlined and quick. The academy made it all happen. Even to receive a nomination from a Senator that he never met and just got into...

Sorry to burst the unbelievers' bubbles, but this is factual. This kid goes to my school and we have mutual friends. It is never a secret who is applying to the academies and who is going where to school. The reason he did not go through the normal process is because he did not consider USAFA...

There is always frank discussion about the routes to achieve an appointment. I now know the the best way is to be a recruited athlete. This may not be as accurate with USNA, USMA, or USMMA but the instance I speak of is for USAFA. I have been reprimanded before for suggesting a two-tier system...

Still curious if anyone has heard the number of apps at KP this year? Thanks

Has anyone heard how many applied this year to USMMA?

Yes received all that info. Yet hadn't reviewed it in awhile. Also, USMMA is asking me to keep sending information past 3/1 so just double checking. thank you. Sorry for the trouble.

So march 1 is the last date to update even an already completed file?

I feel stupid asking this. I was under the impression that the last ACT score the SAs would accept was from Dec. But, if people are being encouraged to update their file with new information,does that include scores past the Dec date? I could not take the Feb test due to a wrestling tournament...

Tried this website link and the webpage would not pull up on two different computers. Have you used it recently? Thanks

For some reason, my computer can't pull up the website that I have used in the past to check my NROTC application status. Does anyone have the correct web address? And, is it working? thanks

Sorry,I wasn't clear in my threads in that I was not talking about all D1 athletes. That would be a broad generalization. I was only referring to the the athletes I personally know that are D1 bound. To be a D1 athlete takes alot of talent, ability, and hard work. Power to those capable. Yet, is...

Sorry, I've been gone and this post was awhile ago. Yet, I wanted to respond. Good point most high school kids have not been to Ranger School or in combat. It is not easy to find "real" leadership positions. The seemingly empty ones still help us develop and are better than none. I have been...

I have leadership. I have been the Varsity captain on the wrestling team for two years at a 6a school,plus other non-sport leadership roles. I am actually a better leader, citizen , and student than the D1 athletes on my squad. This may be the exception though, and what you say may be more...

There is definitely a two tiered system for athletes. Two kids in my hometown who are Div 1 prospects : one for USAFA not really interested in military just wants to play football;Granted he is a smart kid. the other to USMA never considered it for school until the wrestling coach approached him...

One other point, my representative did give interviews but not my Senators. How do you weed out the real dweebs when not all MOCs give interviews?

Searched the USMA admissions and found this: Q: What must I score on the SAT/ACT? Keep in mind there is not a dedicated score as we evaluate several areas. Academics are 60% of our evaluation while 30% is your leadership potential (based on high school and solider experiences) and 10% is your...

One thing I think everyone needs to remember here is that the USNA does not post minimum requirements. Also, the "Best and Brightest" are subjective terms. They are not saying the "highest SAT and GPA". Best and brightest does not always correlate to grades and standardized test scores. That is...

I would take NAPS in a heartbeat! I understand the purpose of prep school. I'm just saying why doesn't USNA wait until all possible academic information is in before giving NAPS appointments.
