<p>Um recently I have getting a lot of mail from West point. Usually I get the regular army, marines, navy, air force stuff. Is there any reason why West Point is sending recruitment stuff out? Is recruitment down? Because I have not been getting anything else form other academies.</p>
<p>Have you taken the PSAT, or are you a rising senior? They mail those little brochures to anyone who has great standardized test scores. Theres kids at my school who have no interest in the military whatsoever and they get stuff from West Point. They are just trying to get you to consider USMA as an option. They won't harass you if your concerned about that but you will probably get more stuff in the mail. You should be encouraged by the fact that West Point has you on the mailing list :)</p>
<p>ya I would like to go to a academy, but I dont think I would get nominated. However, I think I will be doing ROTC at whatever college I choose.</p>

<p>You won't know until you try. lol, I didn't think I would get nominated, considering the caliber of the attendees I met during SLS and how sub par I was in comparison, but hey! I'll be there on R-Day 2007.</p>
<p>Im pretty certain you are correct about the standardized test score results drawing positive attention from the academies</p>
<p>D.Ranger,</p>
<p>Don't think you won't receive a nomination. A lot of people think you have to "know somebody" or have "connections" to receive a nomination. That is most definitely NOT the case. If you're interested in a service academy, find out what's involved for admissions, and go for it.</p>
<p>And good luck!</p>
