<p>maybe even after i get accepted....
im not sure yet...
probably a bad idea....
but where can i get more info. on West Point and the SLS.....
like printed out papers and pamplets....</p>
<p>(sorry, this is a continuation from my previous post...i had to go to my schools lunch period)</p>
<p>You don't owe any money until you have been accepted.</p>
<p>Go here - USMA</a> Admissions: More Info: Summer Program
on the left hand side of the page are some brochures you can print out.</p>

<p>Q: What does the SLS cost?
The average cost of the SLS is around $325.00 which covers room, board and all classroom/training materials. It does not cover transportation to / from West Point.</p>
<p>Over the years there have been a few candidates on this forum whose parents have not been supportive. Your best approach is honesty. Go to your parents and tell them why you want to go the West Point, let them know that you have done the research and ask for their support. There are many parents of West Point cadets on this forum who would be willing to talk to you or your parents if that would help. Unless you are under the age of 18 you do not need your parents permission to attend West Point, but I do understand that having their support is very important.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>so....
telling parents is probably best then right?!?!?!
and...
i should probably tell them before i apply.....</p>
<p>ok ok....i will have to tell them....
ok....
so....
there's, $325.00 and then i also have to pay for the 2 plane tickets....there and from....
alright...
well....ill have to see the money issue....
but i supppose i could run it past them....thanks people....
you have helped me a whole heck of a lot.....
MERCI!</p>
<p>Telling your parents is best. You can print out the brochures that I linked to you and show them. Start there and see how it goes.</p>
<p>As you discuss SLS with your parents, remember, going to SLS does not mean you are going to USMA as a cadet. SLS is a great summer experience even if you never go back as a cadet and even if you decide a military career is not for you. In other words, make sure you are arguing the right question: "I want to go to SLS" is not the same as "I want to join the Army". Win the SLS argument this year and make the Army argument next year.</p>
<p>I'd also suggest that if money could be an issue, you can point out that this is one of the lowest cost 1-week workshops you could possibly attend. Additionally, you might find some part-time work that would allow you to save for half or all of the expense. If jobs in your area are tight, maybe shovel snow or babysit? </p>
<p>Apply early and if accepted and with your parents' blessing, you can find great prices on airfare if you reserve very early. Again, good luck!</p>
<p>Im currently in the process of applying to west point and i wanted an outside opinion of how my shot is looking. I am a junior taking AP classes with a 4.2 GPA. I’m a varsity athlete on 4 sports (soccer, swimming, track, Lacrosse and a 1 year captain of the soccer, track, and swim teams) and I hold various leadership positions. These include a summer swim team coach, a summer soccer camp counselor, a DECA officer, and i’m an NHS member. I have not taken the SAT or ACT tests but Im signed up to take them in March and April. How do i look regarding SLS and actually acceptance to West Point?</p>
<p>regarding your chances for sls -I am also applying to USMA class of 2017. I received an email from my admissions Regional Commander that stated, “Slots to our Summer Leadership Seminar are very limited and will almost entirely be filled by early February”</p>
<p>You need EITHER sat/act/psat scores to apply.</p>
<p>Hi everybody… I need help. I honestly just had the revelation that i want to apply to west point. But the problem is… Im a high school senior and its november!!! Is there any way i can still apply and get my nomination in time??? I havent even started any apps for west point cuz i never knew i wanted to bcome a cadet till now! Also… Do they care if you play music? Like do they take that into consideration? Like ive been playing the violin since i was 4 and am also applying to juilliard this yr will that help my app to west point?</p>
<p>I<code>d say it</code>s too late to apply this year, but do a year at regular college, and take all the classes plebes normally take (Calc, Chem, etc.) and then apply next year. </p>
<p>Having a talent like that might help a little, but you applying to Julliard won`t have any impact.</p>
<p>It also works better if you start a new thread when you have a specific question rather then tack onto one that is 4 yrs old. Most of those participants are long gone.</p>
<p>Are you interested in a career in music or in the military? That is where you need to start.</p>
