Applying to West Point as an Enlisted?

go to college, earn straight A's in college for a year or two

then apply

Well, take a look at the stats for the most recent incoming class:

http://www.usma.edu/admissions/sitepages/class%20p...

That's what your competition looks like. If you want to be admitted you need to be a competitive applicant. Those stats are the other applicants. How do you measure up?

And here's how you get there in the Reserve or Guard:

Again, look at the eligibility requirements. Those are the minimum. Your competition exceeds the minimum. How do you measure up? That's your answer.

You'll note that in all cases ACT and SAT scores are a critical factor and that GPA matters significantly. Since you can't do anything about your GPA, the best you can do is have killer SAT & ACT scores, exceed the minimums elsewhere as best you can, and hope for the best. Admission is highly competitive for a reason. All you can do is set your sights on the metrics they use and do your best to exceed those.

Barring that, you can always go the ROTC route. The first two years are just electives. You can do well enough those first two years to overcome the GPA issue and get contracted for the second two years. Do well enough and you can be offered a scholarship as well as a commission. That's your next best option if USMA doesn't go your way.

If that route still doesn't pan out for you, you can always finish your degree as a civilian, do the very best you can there, and apply for a commission through OCS.

Seeing that Joe Biden, the former VP, got 2 hard waivers (age & past hard drug use - cocaine) for his son to get commissioned in the Navy, then there may be a chance for you to get into West Point.

Is your daddy a POTUS, Vice POTUS, very powerful politician, or a Flag Officer? If yes, then there may be a slim chance that he can try to slip you in West Point somehow. Or get some dirts on the Commandant of Cadets, Brig. Gen. Diana Holland, or the Director of Admissions, Col. Deborah McDonald, and blackmail her to admit you.

Move on and look somewhere else for an option. You will not get into West Point at all period. Only option is ROTC at a college and even then who knows because point blank your spelling isn't the greatest.

The US Military Academy at West Point contains some of the highest OVER-ACHIEVERS on the planet. If you don't have a PERFECT 4.0 GPA PLUS all the social and athletic activities all the way through High School, then you're NOT going to make it.

quite frankly, your chances are close to nil no matter which way you go. you needed high GPAs along with all your other extracurriculars AND leadership roles( it is not enough to be on the swim team, you need to be the captain of the swim team) all while holding down a part time job.

Since you are a big mouth iDiot that drools on a padded keyboard lets make it real clear...you are a can't hack. You have a big mouth trash talker with no backing...loser like you need not apply...

They are still going to base your WP admission on your high school records, GPA, SAT or ACT.
