Is that he first applied for Summer Session that took place right after Junior year. I think USMA has it as well. The SS is about a week. We applied late (I believe right about this time but it could have been later) in the process and were denied. It is generally irrelevant to admission and designed to give a preview of Academy life. The Application for SS becomes the start of the formal Application. I’m sure all the deadlines are on the USMA website. I don’t believe we submitted the final application until August after Junior year but I’m not positive. The order of items in my original post generally reflects my recollection of chronology but there was a lot of overlap. Words of advice….Get started early (we didn’t). Put lots of effort into all required essays (we could have done better). Take advantage of all opportunities to preview (we missed SS but did Candidate weekend). Make sure that you can pass CFA. My kid had issues with pull-ups. So practice and improve your weaknesses. Finally, math scores on SAT/ACT are very important. At least they were for USNA. So if math is a weakness. Try and get that fixed. Good luck. If you have any other questions, let me know.
