[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't get a spot your senior year then consider a gap year (join the service as a reservist or guardsman); then apply from within. And also take relevant college courses that line up with the academy's freshmen year requirements and get a B or better.[/quote] This is good advice, but just know everyone starts in the academy at year 1, no matter what college courses you’ve taken. Leadership, athleticism, and community service is valued. Be the captain of a sports team, student govt, a student mentor, etc. Also- figure out if there is anything that would be disqualifying before he gets his heart set on military academy. If he’s ever been diagnosed with adhd, depression, anxiety, a learning disability, food allergies, asthma, eczema- those are all disqualifying. [/quote]
