[quote=Anonymous]Thanks in advance for some broad big picture thinking. My child is entering high school and has some interest in the Academies (primarily Air Force or Naval). We moved to DC a few years ago and aren't well versed in "how things work around here" for academies - and as child is just entering high school have no connections with guidance counselors or college counselors. It's all sort of abstract at the moment so thought I'd start here for any pointers or thoughts about the process. I had a friend get an appointment to the Naval Academy when we were in high school (30 years ago!) and all I remember was it was through a competitive process with the office of a Senator of our state. How does it work in DC itself, for DC residents? What's the best pathway? How competitive in terms of grades and scores? Are there steps we should be taking now to better position child, if this is what they decide to persue? [/quote]
