Hi, I am going into my sophomore year of high school, and my friend who is going into junior of high school just got an LOE from USMA. I was wondering what are the factors that play into whether someone gets one. Must I express interest? What kind of grades do I need? Any athletic factors at...

A while back, my DS received what we thought was an LOE from his FFR. It was an email which just congratulated him on his nomination and encouraged him to finish up his application if he had not already done so (which he had). There was no specific mention of an invite for an overnight and I...

Hello all, So I received a Letter of Encouragement from West Point a little while ago. Despite this I'm still nervous about my potential for being admitted. I'm sure many on this forum will understand, that no matter how many good signs you get you still question every bit of your application...
