<p>Hello, I'm currently a freshmen at Rutgers University in New Jersey, and I was wondering if anyone from this wonderful community could give a word of advice on specifics of transferring to West Point.</p>
<p>I did apply for West Point my senior year in high school, but during the time, I had several thoughts about applying as I didn't know if it was the right fit for me. I initially heard about West Point from my parents and it was their constant reminder to consider West Point as my top college choice, along with some of my own consideration of the academy that lead me to apply my senior year. Of course, these source of motivation was certainly not good enough, and I ultimately did half-assed job applying. I ended up not receiving the congressional nomination, and several other factors discouraged me and my confidence and determination slowly disappeared as my final year in high school reached halfway point. My file eventually closed, and along with my disappointment, I just moved on and just worried about getting accepted to other schools.</p>
<p>Its been almost a year since my last try for West Point, and I had several regrets about not trying my best to become a West Point cadet; and the more I thought about it, I realized that I have to try again. I mean, just the process of trying to become a cadet changed everything. I was more confident, gained courage, and encouraged me to achieve valuable position of captain of varsity soccer and track & field team. I strongly feel that I can earn a lot more as a cadet.</p>
<p>So, all in all I would really appreciate any information that could bring me closer to achieving my goal. Thank you.</p>
