<p>Is it wise to go to a civilian prep school without having a sponsorship. Others might call this free agents. What is the appointment offer rate for any prep school for those who are not sponsored?</p>
<p>You won't find an appointment rate like you wish because I doubt anyone keeps track of it, even today.</p>
<p>I will tell you that when I went to Northwestern Prep (a LONG time ago) we had quite a few "non scholarship" students...total of about 57 of us at the school.</p>
<p>Only about 4 didn't get into one of the SA's and they were all scholarship students if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>It's how well you do at the school, your SAT/ACT's, etc., that will determine whether or not you get in.</p>
<p>I'm just a high school student, so take this with a grain of salt...</p>
<p>It sounds as if that might be a good route, if you are very serious about going to a SA. I think that a prep school would help you with your grades, and of course your fitness. If you do go, you have to be very serious about it and work harder than you ever have before.</p>
<p>I went to Northwestern Preparatory School in Crestline, CA as a free agent. I highly recommend it. It was only a semester long but it helps a lot and you make some of your best friends there and will continue these relationships throughout the academies and life. It was a lot of hard work but it was also a lot of fun and a great experience.</p>
<p>I got accepted for USNA to go to Northwestern Prep (But I got my appt. to USAFA now) and when i talked to the Director or whoever, they said that they had a lot of free agents and that for people who choose that route, it works out pretty well a lot of the time.</p>
