Yep! So this week, I've gone to several issue points and received my books, laptop package, more uniforms, attended some briefs, and really just settled into my room. I have slowly been setting up my room for our inspection. For RO week, you are assigned a team leader that literally takes you everywhere. But, they are not here to berate you - he or she is a mentor! We have also done drill for several hours in preparation for the A-Day parade. It's not as bad as people make it seem. Many companies after the March Back had a gauntlet - "mock R-Day" to "welcome" in the New Cadets, but honestly after the 12-miler and having to stand in pouring rain for 4 hours to turn in my rifle, I couldn't care any less.
Didn't argue that and understand it. What I said wa,s he said he was not a direct admit, and therefore must have done prep school. A re-applicant who does not do prep school is a direct admit.... they just weren't directly admitted the first time.
The sooner a candidate gets triple qualified for admittance the better. All requirements met means the candidate is eligible for admission review.
As a college reapplicant, I would say the paramount thing to do is take classes that would mirror a Plebe's schedule: Chemistry, English, Calculus, History, an IT class perhaps, etc. Obviously keep up with PT and stay out of trouble, but you essentially just have to prove to West Point that you are capable of performing well in college-level classes and will be able to handle USMA's challenging course load (among other things) if given the chance.
