Entrance into service academies?


Hey, I was wondering if I still have a shot at either USMA or USNA. I am currently a freshman in college, and the academic year is almost over. I have:

-a 3.53 GPA, taking a full pre-med curriculum
-about 400 hours volunteering at a hospital
-I did alot of extracurriculars in highschool
-I haven't done sports, but I am strong and an alright runner.
-I have a 1260/1600 on the SAT and I have not yet taken the ACT

considering I do well on the physical fitness test, will the academies be able to overlook my other atheletic shortcomings? do they like medical oriented students? Thanks for answering.

First of all, you can not just walk up to a military academy, and say here I am. You must be recommended by a congressman, from your state, or be the son/daughter of a medal of honor winner.

Secondly, the U.S.M.A, at West Point, is an engineering school, and they don't care about medical orientation, or anything else you may like.

Thirdly, all military academy's thrive on competition, through actions and sports. The academy's stress leadership skills, and one of those is, follow me and do as I do. If you can't step forward and say that, go somewhere else.

These are not schools for children, but for men who lead. Graduates of our military academy's have gone on to be Presidents of our country, all forms of government officials, and leaders in industry and business. If by some freak of nature you find yourself at one of our academy's, your entire freshmen year would be eliminated, and you would start at square one. When and if you graduate, and receive a commission in the Army, you would still have a six year commitment.

You have a good resume. You'll be competing for a small number of slots based on the amount of applicants, so your SAT might be a little low for the academies. In addition, the one part you didn't cover above is getting a state congressman's recommendation. You have to have such a recommendation.

Good Luck.
