Current Cadet - AMA

Have your checked out their public group on Facebook?
I don’t do much individually on FB, never have, but for business purposes, that’s where I go to find company and organization group pages. It seems most of the SA clubs, teams, ECAs have a FB page. You might be able to find a friendly responder there.

I’m not on social media so I haven’t checked it out, but I definitely will. Thanks for the advice.

Hey there, I’m interested in the West Point equestrian team, and I can’t find very much info on it from the official website. Does OP or toomuchtimeonmyhands have any insight into the team in regards to how difficult it is make the team, team size, experience required, etc. I found an old thread from like 10 years ago, but I didn’t really have too much info.

I have no idea how hard it is to get on the team. I do know that they were short on these members this year, but that is about it. Once you're a plebe they have an event called club night that you can learn about it at. You could also try to find out who is on the team and reach out to them, but in my opinion you're probably better off finding out once you're here.

Sorry, unfortunately i have no info on the equestrian team. its a pretty small team. When i was a cadet, i never really heard much about the team nor met anyone on the team. I recommend looking into the facebook page or even asking the stables for a team point of contact.

Thanks for the input guys, I’m trying to get into contact with the firstie who is team captain right now. Apparently she is pretty cool so hopefully she’ll be able to provide some good insight into the team. I’ll post what I learn for anyone else seeking info (if I make contact).

yea tbh a lot of people wont be able to find out the clubs that are available or any info on the different clubs until club night. even then, theres so many different clubs that are available that it can be overwhelming.

Thank you for doing this! I have a few random questions.

1) How is the food?
2) How much sleep do you get a night?
3) What's the attrition rate for your year been like so far. I know it's early. But I'm curious whether those who left did so because of the academics or the physical part or just decided it wasn't a good fit. I know you may not know the answers, but I am just curious.
4) For your ACT, what was your math score? You have a great total ACT score, and I have a similar score, but my english is what is carrying me and my math is just above average. I was told that the math score is more important than the english score.
5) Did you get an LOE and/or an LOA?
6) Is it at all cliquish?
7) Do you know yet what you want to major in?

Thank you.

2) I sleep for fun on the weekend (just woke up from my post football nap!)
