Applying to an Academy is the equivalent of applying to 10 colleges. It's that complex.
Are you willing to go through the gauntlet to get your dream?
If you're a junior, prepare yourself mentally for a marathon, not a sprint. This will start in January and probably not end until April of the following year. It's a doozy.
If you are a senior or re-applicant, you're buckling down on getting that nomination, and knocking out the final stages of the application. CFAs, interviews, medical, etc.
Here's a few steps Seniors/Re-applicants can take that many don't:
- Taking the SAT/ACT just one more time
- Keeping in close contact with your ALO/BGO/Field Force rep & Regional Admissions advisors
- Snagging another leadership position, & adding it to your application
- Contacting the coaches to ask about walking on
Here's a few steps Juniors can take that many don't:
- Take the SAT early
- Visit the Academies!
- Visit an operational base near you.
- Get extra tutoring in math/science classes
- Go to sports camp at the Academies
