<p>Hello all. Hope you guys are finding success in the West Point admissions process.</p>
<p>I have a question about the final due date for your candidate file. When must your file be completed entirely?</p>
<p>What must be turned in by October?</p>
<p>I also got a question about teacher recommendations.
They just have to complete the one checklist form, right? Or do they have to write an essay?</p>
<p>The sooner you complete your file the better. Do not wait for final dates.</p>
<p>"A formal offer of admission is possible as early as November for fully qualified, outstanding candidates who have completed all admissions requirements and receive a nomination.
Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis with the majority of offers of admission announced by mid-April. Files not completed by the first Monday in March will be closed from further consideration. It is possible that a few candidates will not be notified of acceptance until shortly before entrance in June. Offers of admission are conditional from the time of offer to date of admission."
