<p>Hi,
I'm asking a question on here for one of my friends:</p>

<p>My friend, who gets around half A's half B's at my school (toughest curriculum, sends students to tops schools) is interested in applying to West Point or the Naval Academy. He's wondering how much physical fitness matters for admission--he's by no means really really strong or buff, but he's very smart, has an average physical fitness, but still can hold his own while running, etc...</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>Fitness wouldn't matter going in, but coming out... If you are not fit, they will train you to be fit.</p>

<p>Remember you need to be nominated by a government official or high ranking officer for admission into a Military school.</p>

<p>Fitness is important, but you do not need to be great to get in. Both schools publish their expectations.</p>
