As an N.C.O. that trained Cadets during summer Field Training at Buckner and Natural Bridge, I have a very simple answer. Excel at everything you do. From 10th grade on. And in the things you do not excel at,still seek and demand excellence 100% of the time. Always strive for it. And have deep cemented in desire to commit your self totally to getting in, through, and in your career as an Army Officer.

Hockey4744 it’s great that you’re thinking about this now. You’ll be able to start applying your junior year. In the mean time strive to be excellent at everything you do. Keep up the hockey and try to be a team captain in high school. It doesn’t matter as much what clubs and extracurriculars you do but how you do it. First I’d find something you’re passionate about and really enjoy doing and be as active in that activity as you can manage. Show your leadership potential. Find something that serves a greater cause than yourself. There’ll be lots of clubs and things to choose from when you get to high school. Do some research and pick something that really interests you. However, don’t over extend yourself. On top of concentrating on doing well in school and athletics you’ll most likely only have time for one other activity.

It's my dream to get into West Point and join the Army as a commissioned officer and serve my country. But I a few questions, do I join the Army THEN, apply for West Point or is it the other way around? 2.

The only team sports I did was summer intramural volleyball. I am very fit though and have worked in academic teams in extracurriculars multiple times before. I am a junior now and Im doing the junior enlistment program with the national guard too because I made a 75 on the ASVAB. Could I get in? Im stressed

Does high school matter? For example a high with great education or a high school that’s very athletic

I’m a sophomore right now. I have above a 4.0 GPA and taking AP classes. My weakest spot would definitely be sports. Right now I do swimming and the JROTC raider A team year round.

I’m class of 2023 and about 30 percent of my class were either valedictorians or salutatorians of their HS. Being varsity is good but they really wanna see you being captains if ur really good at one sport focus on that and go all in to get the leadership position. Same with clubs get those positions not simply be a member. Best of luck!

Hey, I was wondering if you can get into West Point with a GED? Also do you have to enlist after your 4 years?

Justin Lopez yes it is possible to get in with a GED. After graduating from West Point you are required to serve on active duty for 5 years. You can attend West Point the first 2 years without any commitment. Once you start your junior or “cow” year you owe the army time.

It's really time management they want to see by seeing what kind of activities you are involved in outside of school.

So I’m currently a freshman in high school and West Point is one of the collages that I have a strong feeling about going to. I feel good on the physical and leadership parts of this.

There are also good ROTC programs and scholarships at other top schools out there as well.

I’m not sure if anyone will see this, but I’m a little intimidated by the requirements needed but was curious to see how prepared I am already for an application to West Point as I am currently a sophomore in high school. I ended freshman year with a 4.1 GPA, and am currently apart of STUCO, and JV soccer and baseball.

@ Priscilla Estrada Yes, George S Patton was "home schooled" for much of his early education and spent two years at the Virginia Military Institute in Richmond, Virginia before he was allowed to enroll at West Point. It took him 5 years to graduate because he was a TURN BACK in mathematics his first year or Plebe year.

Step 1: Apply to the Naval Academy, get rejected; Step 2: Apply to West Point, get accepted. Step 3: Lose to Navy in football. Seriously, though - getting accepted to any Service Academy is an honor. Keep Merchant Marine Academy and Coast Guard Academy on your list as well. Apply to all of them. Be proud if you are accepted to any of them. It's an honor, and a life-changing experience. #GoNavy.

Hi leo! What general gpa do you need.

@EJ8811

5 жыл бұрын

Carly Plagens the average gpa is around a 3.73 so aim for that. Generally you want to at least be making mostly As with some Bs. Take honors and AP courses whenever possible.

Do I have a chance of getting into West Point? I just finished my freshman year of high school. I am currently on summer break and preparing for my sophomore year. My freshman year was probably the best year that I’ve ever had, compared to middle school. Academically and leadership-wise, I have excelled greatly. Academically: I have maintained 90’s and above in all honors classes, finishing with a GPA of ~4.1 I scored all A’s on my finals Leadership-wise: I am a baritone section leader in my school’s marching band (maybe the first even, since baritones were previously integrated into the trombone section) I am a First Sergeant in my school’s JROTC battalion I am also the captain/leader of my school’s air rifle team in JROTC I have also received the Superior Cadet award in JROTC, as well as the SAI (senior army instructor) leadership excellence award and academic excellence award. I have also received different awards for band for All-Region and solo competition for UIL.

Hey I also played baritone for a long time before coming to West Point. I am a current cadet and what really matters when applying is your standardized test scores, leadership roles, and physical shape. If you have those three locked and get a nomination, you should be good.

Any admission advice for those who are currently and actively serving?

What was your SAT score?

I don’t think West Point will look at your grades from 5th grade.

Yea, they really won’t look at you’re Elementary, and Junior High grades until you reach High School then you’ll want to Bust you’re ass off on Work like I’m a freshman trying to take all honors (2/3) and do AP classes next year while doing JROTC and doing a lot of sports. It is good though to study and try to keep up the grades to build up a habit.

I graduate high school in about 4 months, is it too late to apply?

Exaotic the application deadline is the end of February. It’ll be difficult to get everything done before the deadline if you have not already started.

... graduate *from* high school?

Comment pourrais-je vous contacter ?

So what your saying is, I shot my chances to hell before I even knew it? Currently a Senior that's a quarter away from graduation, average grades, 2.4 gpa, and mildly fit. Welp, guess I'll just enlist and use veterans benefits after service than.

I’m a sophomore and at the end of my freshman year I had a GPA of Unweighted: 3.8 or 3.9 Weighted:4.82 I take all Honors and a AP course Class Rank ( as of current ) 58 out of 707 Extracurriculars Marching Band( planning to do all 4 years) Planning to become the band president I’ll try to make a run for STUCO I am trying out for basketball this year, I believe I have a good shot of making JV I did TaeKwonDo for 6/7 years I’m also planning to join a few clubs My dad was a Colonel, so he’s asking a couple of his General buddies in the near future to write a recommendation letter for me. What do you think my chances are of getting in?

You will get in easy. A garunteed get in way is to. 1: Win a state title with a team/by yourself 2: be in a leadership program 3: be smart 4: your dad being a former colonel bumps it up by like 70%

You’ll be fine, especially if you’re hooked into the network already. I’d recommend making sure you do a varsity sport, though. Almost everyone played varsity sports all 4 years of high school in my USMA class, so get that on your resume. Beat Navy! - USMA ‘16

Turn 23 this year is it to late or is it still possible by any means to get into West Point?
