            PSAT – During this period, I contact each candidate who does not have PSAT scores listed on the

            MCRR (use the electronic version on the web site) to ensure that they plan to take, or have taken the test.

            SAT – Same as PSAT.

School Visit, Guidance – I try to contact each guidance councilor to introduce myself and leave contact

information (telephone number, email, snail mail), describe West Point , inquire re: any interested students.

I try to arrange visits to speak with interested Juniors at this time.

Jr. Meetings – During this period, I contact guidance councilors (GC) and visit selected schools

( the top 10 or so) and give a 45-50 min. presentation about West Point to interested Juniors

(some Seniors attend).  The presentation includes a showing of “Leaders for a Lifetime”. 

If there is no student interest, I cancel.

Candidate File Maintenance – Using the MCRR, I contact candidates to ensure that they are making

required submissions, have applied for nominations (4), and are following up on nominations.  I conduct

interviews as required on the MCRR, preferably as soon after a name appears as possible.

Early Action – Same as File Maintenance for those candidates who have requested early Action.

Fall Travel – Same as Spring travel, but school contacts are expanded as much as possible and arranged

meetings include both Juniors and Seniors.

CPRC – I arrange visits when notified that cadets are available.  I arrange 3 visits for each cadet for each

day they are available.

College Fairs – I contact one of my favorite guidance councilors early in the academic year to get

a schedule of college fairs.  I attend as many as I can.

Parent Club Liaison  - I maintain constant contact with WPPCMA through phone and email. 

I will occasionally use parents as assistants at college fairs.
