<p>Seems to me your story keeps changing. In your very first post on this topic you said:

....but west point is my second choice for college
[/quote]
</p>
<p>As I said earlier, I don't think you approach a Military Academy as your 'back-up' plan.</p>
<p>Now you say:
[quote]
I do want to become an United States Army officer but that is not my sole purpose for wanting to attend West Point.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Not sure what other 'purpose' will enable you to focus for 4 very challenging years.</p>
<p>From the replies I have read, I take it I am not only one who thinks you have an uphill battle ahead of you. </p>
<p>A lot of very bright, talented and hard working individuals get accepted and don't make it past the FIRST DAY at WP, much less graduate. Success is never guaranteed.</p>
<p>In your lastest post you say:
[quote]
I know I can handle West Point
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Maybe so, but you need to be 110% convinced that this is right for you and even then it won't be 'easy'. I think we are all trying to help you recognize that.</p>
