Appointment

Each one will have to be declined according to a firm deadline. They’ll tell you exactly when that is. There’ll be no ambiguity about that and what must be done.

But don’t think that by keeping SA and ROTC offers open, that you’re somehow “taking” a spot from someone else. Or that by declining quickly, you’re “opening up” a spot for someone else. That’s not the case. You earned the offer and it’s your opportunity to fully contemplate your options until the deadline. No need to rush. (SAs and ROTC carefully manage their yield and aren’t sitting around saying, “Gee, if only XXX would make up their mind already so we can get an offer out to YYY.”)

Ok thank you. I was jus curious as to if you had to manually decline appointments and ROTC offers or if they would "decline" themselves if you did not accept by a certain date.
 
You can accept the offers as they roll in. However, when you accept your USMA appointment be polite by telling Army ROTC and the other service academies that you are going to West Point.
Do not worry, ROTC and the other service academies will turn around immediately and make some other kid's dreams come true.
However, do not allow an acceptance deadline to pass because you are waiting on USMA...accept and then decline. Or accept and then you can make up your mind.
Happened in this house...#3 received an Army ROTC scholarship, which he accepted in January. He then got into USAFA in March, which he accepted. He then turned down the ROTC scholarship. Late, late, late in April, the USMA BFE arrived to our great surprise and delight. However, he spent a few days really soul searching, researching and thinking about majors & career opportunities before accepting USMA and turning down his already accepted appointment for USAFA. He noted that the USAFA automated system asked him if he really wanted to decline his appointment 3 times before it was finished. However, we can rest assured that USAFA picked the next kid on the list--and that cadet is having the time of his or her life as a firstie right now.
GO ARMY!
 
Continuation to my original post. Over the course of the last 24 hours I have received my BFE, as well an email informing me of what the next steps are as well as what I must do prior to R Day (which is set for the 28th of June).

I have scheduled to get my finger prints done with a local recruiter, and have also shared a post on my instagram announcing my BFE (I figured if I didn't do it soon my mom would beat me to the punch).

As previously stated, to any other kids out there who will also be apart of the class of 2025 message me, I'd love to echange socials and get to know yall!
