The letter that said that I am admitted to the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (USMAPS) once I get cleared at DoDMERB. What I want to know is the procedure, if it is known, on how they select candidates for USMAPS. I was specifically allocated to USMAPS instead of USMA back in November because my Math SAT wasn't up to par and I had to retake it, for which I did. Well, I did get a 26 on the ACT so I guess they took that but still.
I was almost certain that I would have to go to plan B and go the college ROTC route because after seeing all these captains of the football team with 4.0 GPAs and 32 ACT scores that have all these extracurricular activities that got rejected, I thought I was surely gone.
So how do they determine if people are getting to go into the prep school there? Is there different criteria that they chose from then the USMA selection?
Also, how is the actually first day like? Is it like the traditional R-Day that the cadets go through on their first day or will it be different somehow since I have to there for 9 months before my actual Plebe year?
(I would have posted this on the USMAPS forums but that place is a ghost town.)
