Important dates?

<p>Does anyone know when A-Day and Parent weekend are for next year's class or know of where I can find those dates? I found the R-Day date on the West Point admissions site, but couldn't find the other 2 there. Any help would be appreciated</p>

<p>Check out this master calendar page for USMA:

<p>When I checked it for the period of June 2007-October 2007 I found Plebe Parent Weekend as Oct 12-15. I could not find A-day listed, but based on the number of weeks between R-day and A-day this year, I think A-day 2007 will be August 11th.</p>

<p>That sounds like it should be right, but don't buy your tickets yet...</p>

<p>Thank you so much. And actually, my dad wanted those dates so he could book hotel rooms now. We both realize that I haven't even started step 2 of the application and I haven't been given an LOA, but he is trying to be optimistic and he wants to be prepared. He's heard from people that trying to find hotel rooms for those days is very difficult. Do you think it is unlucky or will jinx my chances to book the hotel for an event I don't even know I will be attending yet?</p>

<p>You will be easily able to book hotels. The Thayer and Holiday Inn are a bit difficult. By the way, the Thayer will charge you at booking for any reservations made for the "big" weekends. Then if you withdraw or are separated, they will refund the money.</p>

<p>I actually think it's a better idea to think positively. You cannot jinx your admissions chances by making hotel reservations.</p>

<p>o.k. - thanks again for your help</p>
