<p>Mike,
I’ll answer a few of your questions…</p>
<p>Jewish life - pretty much covered. The Jewish retreat at the beginning of the year is really nice, they head off to a beach house and the city (or at least my room mate did) while the other religions go out to Camp Buckner. </p>
<p>Walk on sports - depends on the sport. I’m pretty sure fencing and the other club sports are almost all walk on. Corps squad is a little trickier. You’ll have the opportunity to try out during Beast. </p>
<p>On leave, military dress is not required. If you go to one of the AOG balls on leave, you will have to dress the part. I managed to avoid all four years of balls because they always fell near or on my birthday 
</p>
<p>Pol sci and Law are pretty good. I can get you in contact with a law major if you’d like, as well as an '03 grad who’s trying for JAG, the Judge Advocate Corps. They also have required classes, so everyone will have some contact with the department.</p>
<p>After the nomination, and the acceptance letter, there is a HUGE packet of information the academy needs. Do it all. Make copies. Put it in the mail. Carefully study the reporting instructions for R-Day. Make plane reservations and hotel reservations for the night before and the night of. If you haven’t done an overnight visit, consider it. Keep us updated, and reread the old posts about the packing list for the first day!</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
