SLS...waiting...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Military Academy - West Point

<p>Hello fellow academy seekers!
I applied to West Point's summer seminar (SLS) the first weekend it was released, and now, almost two months later, I have received no reply from West Point. I know my SAT/ACT/PSAT scores were only average and my application was probably not the superstar status that West Point was looking for (but hopefully it will be after retaking test), and was wondering if it is safe to say that I will not be getting into the seminar? Also, do you guys have any recommendations for somebody/somewhere that I could go to to analyze and evaluate the application I sent in?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Many people haven’t heard yet, they haven’t sent most (if any at all?) acceptances out yet, don’t count yourself out.</p>

<p>If you look on their home page and go onto the SLE section, it reads:</p>

<p>“SLE Announcement: Due to federal budget reductions, Admissions staff is planning on holding Summer 2013 SLE, however the session sizes may be reduced. Due to this ongoing planning, SLE offer windows will be slightly later. The offer rounds will now be 1 March and 1 April. After April 1st, it will be on a space available basis to competitive qualified candidates.”</p>

<p>I know, it’s unfortunate that it keeps delaying. This may be a rumor, but I heard they may be even cancelling it completely due to federal budget cuts. Not too sure about that, but I’m in the same boat as you. I’m so anxious to hear back.</p>

<p>I believe the latest news is that there may only be 1 session (session 1) and notifications will begin this week. In addition, all will be notified if it is cancelled fully.
Yes…the waiting game!

<p>I just heard back today afternoon. Anyone else? There is only one session (June 1-June 7), according to the e-mail.</p>

<p>Yes, our oldest heard and got in too. Still waiting on USNA though.

<p>I received an email saying that I got in a couple days ago, and the website says the next wave of emails should got out early April</p>

<p>Still waiting for something from USNA though</p>

<p>One of ours is hoping not to have to pay and commit to SLE before hearing from NASS so that an informed decision can be make. USAFA ss money is due now that will be paid. With scheduling, probably can only go to one more so knowing about NASS sooner rather than later would be good!

<p>As a general trend you can always expect to here back from USNA last
Wether it be NASS or an actual Appointment this seems to be the trend</p>
