[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have absolutely no shot at getting into an academy from this area, don't even bother unless you know a Senator.

Lots of great ROTC programs. VirginianTech has the Core Cadet program that is like an academy.[/quote]

Not true. The Senators evaluate the entire package and nominate that way. Close friend’s child got in without knowing any Senators. Just went through the regular process. It’s a bit cumbersome but he’s athletic and has high stats.

USMA requires 5 year military commitment and is intense. Structured but great opp for the right student.

+1 I’m genuinely curious why people on here insist on answering about matters they clearly have little knowledge. [/quote]

LOL okie dokie. Husband is military and has to evaluate the people applying to the service academies. He doesn't have the heart to tell the parents or kids how they have no shot. This is one of the most competitive areas given the heavy military presence. I assume that the OP has no military ties so doesn't know this fact. Ask any of your military friends with kids. They know.[/quote]
