<p>Im only a freshman in high school but i want to attend west point, just wondering about this.</p>
<p>Maybe some cadets/grads will comment too. You also might want to try serviceacademyforums.com, they could definitely help you.</p>
<p>Also go on YouTube and search for West point videos, they usually show them.</p>
<p>Thank you kind person</p>
<p>No problem; if you’ve got any other questions, feel free to ask 'em.</p>
<p>Imma start another thread but if u can save me the time i was wondering about the senior military academies and if you apply for them like a normal university or if you have a medical/physical test</p>
<p>You apply to them pretty much like normal schools, but you do have a physical, since it’s in a military environment and it’s not like a civilian school, they need to make sure you are OK.</p>
<p>In addition to filling out an on-line applications (and supplying all the required documents…standardized test scores, letters of rec…ect) you will need to take a DODMERB physical, PT tests, in person interviews AND apply for a Congressional Nomination (with all THOSE additional requirements). The process is, IMHO, substantially more complicated than a “normal” university application. You should visit the Service Academy sites that you might be interested in applying and familiarize yourself with the application process and requirements.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>So i still need nomination for senior military academy?? Not west point or naval academy, im talking about Texas a&m, Virginia tech, citadel, north Georgia</p>
<p>NO you do NOT need a nomination for SMC’s, the process is somewhat similar to regular universities, and not as competitive. ONLY service academies require nominations.</p>
<p>Proof: [Virginia</a> Military Institute - Application Instructions](<a href=“404 - - Virginia Military Institute”>404 - - Virginia Military Institute)</p>
<p>No mention of nominations anywhere. I promise you that you don’t need one.</p>
<p>aglages must have read you wrong.</p>
<p>You also do not need a nomination for the Coast Guard Academy. My understanding is that the CG is the only SA not requiring a nomination.
T</p>
<p>Correct! I thought we were still talking about service academy requirements. Noms are not needed for SMCs. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>Yes, CG Academy does not require one.</p>
<p>If you do not get accepted to west point out of highschool and i get accepted to say the Citadel or Virginia military institute, after my freshman year there can i re-apply to west point or am i required to stay there???</p>
<p>Yes you can reapply to West Point. </p>
<p>IMO, if you are rejected from USMA and wish to reapply, you want to do the best you can in college for a year to reapply, and a SMC is NOT a good way to go because it’s very time-consuming being a cadet at a SMC and your grades won’t be as good as a civilian college, most likely. Your choice, but just from what I’ve learned, go a regular route if it comes to that.</p>
