SLS 2012 Application process!

SLS application date

Granuaile and other Juniors,

WP Admissions is saying on their facebook page that this year's SLS application will open mid January, not December (as it was last year).

Yes, yes, yes I know this thread is approximately 1436756890456343 years early but I'm super duper excited!

YES, I know that SLS will not make or break your WP application and

YES I know that a lot of people don't get into SLS anyway

BUT I'm still excited and already checking and double checking what I've got so far! It's kind of annoying, as I haven't filled out the candidate questionnaire yet and I'm pretty sure I need to do that, haha.

Aighhagahe so excited! Trying to work on the physical stuff, though... Everything else I've got pretty buttoned down. Does anyone know if they take a look at test scores for SLS?

Debcst: Yeah, I saw that... Oh well, a month is a month and no big deal.

BillSL: You always have the answers! Thank you so much!

USMA2016 and Branno the Bronze: Well, yeah, kinda. Not so much that I was thinking women would be treated BADLY or anything. I mean, this isn't the seventies. Honestly (and I know, this sounds SO bad), I was wondering if being female would give me an admissions boost, and also what their experience was. Well, I guess that means YOUR experience, Branno! Somebody mentioned that some people fell back on a run, and I just had a brain flash that I would be doing a bunch of PT with a bunch of super-amazing male athletes, so I was wondering if that's an issue for girls (even the ones who aren't total slouches!) at SLS.

Well, whilst a lot of peole are pretty athletic, you don't have to worry that you'll get left behind. To be honest, PT during SLS is not suppose to be too hard, since there are no physical requirements to be accepted into SLS.

I just saw a handful of people falling behind on the 2-mile run and sometimes during marches. There is nothing to worry about if you do sports, in my opinion.
