Hello! I am currently a junior and am aiming at West Point admission (Class of 2023) as a goal over the next year and a half or so. I'm wondering if any of you have any advice on how I can improve my chances. Academically, I take all honors and AP classes, and have about a 3.8 unweighted and...

On the West Point SLE subpage on the school's website, the site indicates that the admission for the SLE each year is open to high school juniors beginning in January of the year during which an applicant would complete their third year of high school. Does anyone know from experience or...

Hey forum, I attended SLE this June and I was curious to know if cadets and staff supervising the program were evaluating and tabbing notes on files of the cadet candidates. I remember being interviewed by my squad leader, so I'm pretty sure they interviewed me for a reason. Do you know if they...

What does the application for S.L.E. look like? What questions are asked and what do you have to supply in terms of test scores and G.P.A.? Additionally, what are optimal S.L.E. test scores when applying in terms of the S.A.T.? Thank you so much for your help!

Hello all, I have been accepted into SLE session two, which start this Saturday. I have recently heard a rumor from a classmate (who is also going to session 2) that my CFA scores from SLE go into some sort of "system" and thus can be used for applications to other service academies, who can...

Hello: So I have been accepted to SLE session 2 this year, and I just have a couple of questions. Question #1 Should I actually bring a fan to West Point? I know that the barracks don't have A/C but I am torn if I should actually bring one or hope that someone else will. Question #2 - How is...

Hi everyone! I have compiled a Google doc of everything (clothes, bedding, toiletries, etc.) that I think is on the SLE (and CGA AIM) packing list this year. If you or your child/friend has attended SLE (or other academy summer programs) in the past and there's anything else they can think of...

Saw someone do this in on the USNA forum and thought it was a good idea. If anybody else is going to the first session of SLE, PM me so we can start a group chat! Looking forward to hearing from y'all.

I am attending SLE session this summer and I have "long" hair (below my ears but not hippy length). Do I need to cut my hair short for SLE ?

Hi guys, I was accepted into the West Point SLE program about two months ago. I sent in my documents and waiver forms to USMA around the end of february and they replied that they received my package after I emailed them in the beginning of March. My portal still shows up as having all the...

Hi everyone, I am attending SLE this summer, and this forum has been very helpful in answering most of my questions. However, I do still have a few rather trivial questions (clothes, make-up, hair, etc) that I would feel shallow posting on a public forum. If there's any female out there that has...

I submitted the app January 19th (When it actually opened) and I've gotten increasingly worried because I haven't heard back at all. The website says it's pending so the app did go through, idk if this long wait is a good thing or a bad thing.

I am a female junior that was offered a spot for week 2 of the West Point SLE. I have a couple questions on what the physical side of the program will be like. Thanks! How intense the physical part of the program will be? Is taking the CFA test there optional? How much should I prepare for the...

Hey everyone, I just got notified by both West Point and Naval Academy that I got offered to go to both summer programs (beyond excited) unfortunately, I got week 1 assignment to both. Is it possible to change which week I go to through the admissions office? If so, how? Thanks!

I just received my acceptance email for SLE today (!!!), and I was accepted to USAFA SS a couple of weeks ago. ( I applied on 17 Jan for those curious) I heard there are little groups of candidates that end up seeing each other at the different service academy summer programs. I'm planning on...

Hello, I have gotten my acceptence letter the the Naval Academy SLE, but it says that I have until Feb 19 to say if I accept. I also applied to West Point's SLE. Should I wait for a confirmation for West Point's response? Or should I accept the Naval Academt SLE?

Now that my DS has applied for SLE I guess I'm curious why they have the two week options in the heart of either the review time for finals or finals themselves. It almost makes me want to tell him he should really thing about that decision should he be accepted. Especially since our...

I took the CFA at SLE this May, and in my West Point portal it has updated but in my Air Force and Naval portals they have not updated. Is there someone I need to contact from SLE to manually update my scores to the other academies, or is this a question for my RC?

I'm attending SLE in a week, and I'm hammering down my form for all the CFA events. I was confused about the form for the sit ups. Are they true sit ups? Or a variation? An explanation of the form would be appreciated (I can do 82 sit ups in the 2 minute time period)

Hey Everyone - I have sent in my SLE forms, and they arrived last week. I just wanted to know how long it has taken others for their forms to show up in their portal, as I still have the red Xs next to mine. I know it's not a major issue, however I just want everything to be finalized so that I...
