I was wondering from anyone out there who has been in this situation or a current or former cadet who knows someone with this issue. I am an Active Duty soldier who will be turning 23 next April. From my understanding I will be 69 days older than the cutoff if I understand it correctly. Is this correct? Or does no older than 23 mean not yet 24? And if I am too old by 69 days is there any possibility of a waiver or exeption to policy? Would vacant soldier for USMA affect that decision? Any advice, information and guidance is greatly appreciated!

Verbatim from Admissions:
Each candidate must:
be 17 but not yet 23 years of age by July 1 of year admitted. (The increase in maximum age is a result of a recent change to Title X, U.S. Code.)
I have not heard of an age waiver, ever.
Age Waivers are given all the time now, talk to your CO
The CC of USMAPS is 23 or 24 years old now and, he's prior service.

That's the first I've ever heard of such a thing. It certainly wasn't discussed during our admissions training. I'd be interested to see something in writing about that.
Quoted again, from the USMA Admissions FAQ Page
" Q: Are there age waivers?
No. You must not be older than 23 years of age on July 1 of the year entering USMA (22 on July 1 of the year entering the Prep School)."
