I am an E-5 In the U.S Army Mos 31B, I am currently 22 years old but will turn 23 this upcoming August. I was an AP A high school student with plenty of extracurricular activities such as NHS, Student Council, Track and Field, Soccer, Band, Drama, and pretty much any other club in school. I graduated 10% with a 94.7 GPA in my graduating class. My question, is there a chance for me to get some type of waiver in order for me to get accepted at West Point?!
Personally, I don't want to go to a service academy, I can go to ROTC for the Army at any school that offers it and enter the Army as a Second Lt. as well, so basically it is just a thing of honor to attend and graduate from a service academy.
Seems like a lot to go through just to get your ass blown to smithereens by an IED in some 3rd world shithhole for a greedy Wall Street fatass with a house in the Hamptons.
Hmm West Point is not only about academics and athletics.. there is much more to the acceptance process-- the qualities they look for.. those who figure that out what they are, are those who get in.
I Love USMA! I can't wait to go in '15(: 4 more years babee 4 more:D working extra hard for this studing for all my test making it to honor roll just to get in this hope I pass basic training though o_O lmfao
@tforeignguy hey i live in the US wanting to join west point but i am not a citizen i am a permanent resident holder and i am 25 can i apply to west point?
@rashidul227 Hey man, I have the exact same situation, but the oldest age one can join with is 23. Sorry to be the one to tell you that. :/ There are other military institutes you can join, like VMI, citadel, and you can even do ROTC in college, the outcome will be the same: an officer in the Army. You should really look into it-- dont lose hope man!
@tforeignguy the thing is it takes some time to get a citizenship since I am muslim and all the checking its understandable since they are being cautious. As long as I have lived here i loved America and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. how old are you? if u dont mind me asking
@rashidul227 Sorry i took so long to respond. i was away. They are no more cautious if a muslim applies or if a christian, or if a bhuddist. It would be unconstitutional-- they are cautious over all.. if you are still unsure, then just dont mention that you are a muslim... The only problem here is your age man(for west poing). I am 17 years old
@tforeignguy well i am 19 turning 20 this july but i need 5 years residence for a green card so 20 + 5 years residence makes me 25 :( i applied at VMI, virginia tech, tamu, citadel and north georgia

The training consist of removing people's objections to authority in order to produce obedient troops. Later you can call up for an attack on another nation and instruct your military to call it "kinetic action" happens to work.

God Bless America, Though I am not American born, I love America. America is the last freedom standing on the globe against all the dictatorship, socialism, which is the transition to communism. America, wake up& be strong, don't ever lose your constitution that was endowed from god. Even all those terrorist countries have one -year -long greencard waiting list come to America, so those who passionately hate America, go to live somewhere in communist country. then u will appreciate & learn
How can we forget your noble sacrifice for the freedom of your brothers and sisters and even the strangers in the corners of the globe...
God Bless America and all you countless heroes.... There is a song called " nameless Heroes by Miyeh" specially written for the American soldiers and veterans at youtube video section.
this is military training and one of the top educations put together that you could ever get. imagine going through bct, ait, and college all in 1. most people have a hard enough time just dedicating themselves to a 2 year college degree without dropping out. now put the stresses of the military training and increase the education intensity by 10 and thats what you get at officer schools and places like west point. this isnt just any old bct or any crappy community college
Jaypats, none of your bullsh*t matters. Just tell me do all the VMI and Citadel students go to war or are they playing soldier for a while? Everyone from my son's class of 2004 at West Point went to war and some didn't come back.
To all you people saying West Point is a joke, please... of course it's way harder than that, you think they are going to show what really happens on the web, or film everything? Every place is amazing in drill, education, physical fitness, Annapolis, The Citadel, USAFA, and much more. Bless the men and women serving our country, and future cadets in being our future leaders.
@KevinTheKraut by no way is west point a joke, I knew this really smart kid that got into west point and he had to drop out....the culture shock, the dicipline etc
I am very good friends with all three of the cadets you see getting their heads shaved at 40 seconds. It is hard to believe that these two years have gone by so quickly.
To anyone joining us on R-Day this year: We, the members of the Class of 2012, are very excited you, the class of 2014, are coming, and we will offer our "motivation" to the fullest extent haha... good luck... remember, this too shall pass. It won't be easy, but it is worth it.
yea its becasue your a bunch a book faggots. You know nothing about pain and struggle. Your a bunch a panzy bitches. The females at VMI are tougher than ur guys. Don't feel special that people say your school is good becasue they have no idea what they are talking about. YOU ALL SUCK!!!!
Yes i did get an appointment, and I'll be leaving this June. That's another cool thing about SLS they open your full candidate portal a bit earlier than every one elses
i hope you all realize that what they do during R-day is not how the rest of Beast goes. We know the cameras are on us so the hard part starts once all the media's gone.
@kedt2012 Dude, relax. Each academy has its challenges and differences. Perhaps one academy is tougher physically and the other is tougher in academics. However, at the end of the four years we are all the same.

the top college???...if u want a military college, come down to south carolina..where real leaders are made..and whats this the first day is the hardest..really???...every day sucks down here for 9 fucking months
@timefornightnight Why is it the "Top College" in America right now? Because of what we just saw? It might be competitive, but there are other superb universities in our country from which Officer candidates come.
@khalsasikh Reception day? What kind of a weenie name is that? The name makes me picture bunnies and rainbows. You know what a better name would be... I-day.
@khalsasikh America's "top college" is a highly subjective topic. While Harvard and Yale are almost always up there due to their reputation, every college ranking sources has a completely different ranking method, yielding completely different results.
Getting into any of the service academies is just as hard as getting in an Ivy League school. Having a service academy degree or an Ivy League degree looks extremely well on a resume.
No, you learn just as much, but you don't have to worry about hazing or any of the bs associated with an institution like West Point. At the end, you still get the same 2nd Lieutenant bars the West Point cadet receives. To each his own, though. I'm an officer now and I enjoyed my experience, but I'm sure someone from West Point had an equally enjoyable experience...
wow is this how west point receive their new cadet battalion? this is a walk in the park. see the Philippine military academy on the reception of the plebes. the lowest mammal in the cadet corps. in the philippine military academy plebes fear the 3rdclassmen. they tremble at the sight of the secondclassmen and all that is happening inside the cadet corps are under the srcutinizing eyes of the firstclassmen. see for yourself watch philippine military academy on video.
A lot of famous marines are west pointers, including medal of honor winner Frank Stanley Reasoner. Think first, then comment. They teach that in the Marines right?
That's absurd. All of our marines come from OCS, NROTC, PLC, and USNA. A few come through the cracks from USMA, but that is very very rare. We only had one guy from USMA commission as a marine this year.
im a 15 year old and i plan to go to West Point, ive wanted to go since i was 12 but i wanted to join the army as infantry since i was 5,both my parents were in the army and my mom's family were practically all in the army. I have a current gpa of about 3.8-3.9 and i participate in football and i plan to join clubs. ive researched this for quite a while and West Point is free because when you attend you join the army anyway so thats why you dont pay you just have to meet the requirements.
I am also 15, and I am almost a Eagle Scout in the Boy scouts of America, and have a GPA of 3.3. It is also a dream of mine to attend West Point. I plan to join clubs, and do anything I can to get in.
Cadets are actually payed to attend here. I was wondering if you could tell me what academic requirements there are? I need some info and thought that you may have it. Thanks
The best thing you can do is raise your GPA and get good scores on your SAT and ACT. Do sports at your highschool and do lots of stuff for your community. Basically the more stuff you can put on your resume the better.
If you feel like you want to go, read The Long Gray Line before you do. It describes Beast. You want to know about Beast. Bchette, Norwich U is a nice place, but they hate the rooks, I know two guys that went, one's still there the other's active duty AF and he said his rookdom would be worse than BCT...which says something lol
I've seen good academy grads and bad ones when it comes to the military. All that training don't amount to a hill of beans in combat if the individual just isn't cut out for combat. Those classroom tactics don't always work in the field.
I don't think I could ever go through a military academy. I have a few friends in ROTC and they seem to be having the times of their lives mainly because they can have a social life along with their military duties.
The military academies are definitely only for those who love the military.
USMA plebe's perspective on this: even those who really love the military don't enjoy the stuff that plebes have to do. we do a lot of seemingly pointless stuff. but beyond that, people who say "man, four years of that, i could never do it" are off-base, because it's only one year of that. you're only dirt for one year...
Incredible young men & women who deserve our never-ending respect and admiration. Unfortunately for Army though in 5 years from now my son will be wearing the blue & gold of the USNA and he will be lighting up Army from outside the 3-point arc. GO NAVY BEAT ARMY.
haha this year during basic here at USMA i had a squadmate who was horrible about muzzle awareness with her M4. she flagged so many people over the course of marksmanship training...once, i'm told, the safe was even off. she wrote a lot of letters to mothers explaining why she accidentally shot their sons. didn't get mailed, obviously...
Guys I wanted to go to the NewYork Military Academy highschool which is connected with west point it costs 35,000 plus books and uniforms and activities per year so 50,000 a year for 4 years of highschool wtf how expensive can u make in fckin 160,000 after 4years
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's dumb considering most people probably want to go there so they can go into the military when they get out, and the military doesn't pay enough for it to cost that much imo. I could see if you got into Harvard or Yale after you got out, but just to go to West Point is kinda pricey.
I guess it all evens out though, considering all the military academies are free.
Meant 'any' academy. Also, I am not sure about the Citadel or VMI's system. However, I am confident they are similar if not identical in having "Cows" or "Firsties" teach much of the drill and physical activity programs. Under close supervision of course from the actual officer in charge of said department.
West Point is not alone in having a Corps of Cadets, in having a Long Gray Line- VMI and The Citadel, those magnificent Southern military colleges, are there as well and in no way should be overlooked.
I have the utmost respect for the cadets of West Point, VMI, and The Citadel, and in about three years I'll be a cadet at VMI. I look forward to being able to say "I wear the ring" very much.
Well its just for a plebe that first year can get pretty tedious and pretty quick. Its just such a transition. From having your own free will to them taking it from you. Then with each passing year you get more and more freedom. You son/daughter will do just fine. They only accept those that can make it. If someone doesnt make it its not West Point's fault the kid had it in them. Its just a sign it wasnt right for that particular cadet.
I only meant it in the sense that even though you can get seriously hurt in Iraq at least you know what you have to do. Other than having prior military experience when I first got to USMA I didnt have a clue. All these people telling you rules, taking away some of your stuff from home and just basically making you feel helpless was the worst. Overall it is a good experience but at the time you feel like your gonna go crazy there.
Plebe year is the worst no doubt. The Firsties treat you like shit and pretty much anybody and everybody can tell you what to do. You rarely get to leave. God it sucks. I'd have to say Iraq was better than my first year there. Even though I got shot in the leg!
Joseph, thank you so much for serving. Your commitment speaks volumes and I am thankful that prior enlisted men and women are in the classrooms along with our other Plebes. Your field experience is invaluable to these students and they will gain much from your input. I caught a glimpse of my own son in this video. Are you at USMA now?
Actually when I was 17 I enlisted in the South Carolina Army National Guard. That way between my junior and senior years in highschool I could do basic and get totally prepared for USMA. Plus being in a branch of service really helps in getting accepted. Not just because you have a lot of experience but also you dont need the congressional nomination for the application process. All I needed was a recommendation from my company commander.
If you're from South Carolina, why didn't you go to The Citadel? It's just as good as West Point if you ask me, as is VMI, and in your case The Citadel is right there in your home state.
do they take anyone or do you need high IQ?

@khalsasikh America's "top college" is a highly subjective topic. While Harvard and Yale are almost always up there due to their reputation, every college ranking sources has a completely different ranking method, yielding completely different results.

Getting into any of the service academies is just as hard as getting in an Ivy League school. Having a service academy degree or an Ivy League degree looks extremely well on a resume.

No, you learn just as much, but you don't have to worry about hazing or any of the bs associated with an institution like West Point. At the end, you still get the same 2nd Lieutenant bars the West Point cadet receives. To each his own, though. I'm an officer now and I enjoyed my experience, but I'm sure someone from West Point had an equally enjoyable experience...

im a 15 year old and i plan to go to West Point, ive wanted to go since i was 12 but i wanted to join the army as infantry since i was 5,both my parents were in the army and my mom's family were practically all in the army. I have a current gpa of about 3.8-3.9 and i participate in football and i plan to join clubs. ive researched this for quite a while and West Point is free because when you attend you join the army anyway so thats why you dont pay you just have to meet the requirements.
sorry.

I am also 15, and I am almost a Eagle Scout in the Boy scouts of America, and have a GPA of 3.3. It is also a dream of mine to attend West Point. I plan to join clubs, and do anything I can to get in.
Cadets are actually payed to attend here. I was wondering if you could tell me what academic requirements there are? I need some info and thought that you may have it. Thanks

The best thing you can do is raise your GPA and get good scores on your SAT and ACT. Do sports at your highschool and do lots of stuff for your community. Basically the more stuff you can put on your resume the better.

If you feel like you want to go, read The Long Gray Line before you do. It describes Beast. You want to know about Beast. Bchette, Norwich U is a nice place, but they hate the rooks, I know two guys that went, one's still there the other's active duty AF and he said his rookdom would be worse than BCT...which says something lol

I've seen good academy grads and bad ones when it comes to the military. All that training don't amount to a hill of beans in combat if the individual just isn't cut out for combat. Those classroom tactics don't always work in the field.

I don't think I could ever go through a military academy. I have a few friends in ROTC and they seem to be having the times of their lives mainly because they can have a social life along with their military duties.
The military academies are definitely only for those who love the military.
CaesarMaurice 2 years ago
USMA plebe's perspective on this: even those who really love the military don't enjoy the stuff that plebes have to do. we do a lot of seemingly pointless stuff. but beyond that, people who say "man, four years of that, i could never do it" are off-base, because it's only one year of that. you're only dirt for one year...

That's dumb considering most people probably want to go there so they can go into the military when they get out, and the military doesn't pay enough for it to cost that much imo. I could see if you got into Harvard or Yale after you got out, but just to go to West Point is kinda pricey.
I guess it all evens out though, considering all the military academies are free.

Meant 'any' academy. Also, I am not sure about the Citadel or VMI's system. However, I am confident they are similar if not identical in having "Cows" or "Firsties" teach much of the drill and physical activity programs. Under close supervision of course from the actual officer in charge of said department.

West Point is not alone in having a Corps of Cadets, in having a Long Gray Line- VMI and The Citadel, those magnificent Southern military colleges, are there as well and in no way should be overlooked.
I have the utmost respect for the cadets of West Point, VMI, and The Citadel, and in about three years I'll be a cadet at VMI. I look forward to being able to say "I wear the ring" very much.

smf57 3 years ago
Well its just for a plebe that first year can get pretty tedious and pretty quick. Its just such a transition. From having your own free will to them taking it from you. Then with each passing year you get more and more freedom. You son/daughter will do just fine. They only accept those that can make it. If someone doesnt make it its not West Point's fault the kid had it in them. Its just a sign it wasnt right for that particular cadet.
Joseph565112 3 years ago
I understand completely, and I think my son did, too. Just the vision that it was worse than being in Iraq and shot was pretty dramatic:)
smf57 3 years ago
I only meant it in the sense that even though you can get seriously hurt in Iraq at least you know what you have to do. Other than having prior military experience when I first got to USMA I didnt have a clue. All these people telling you rules, taking away some of your stuff from home and just basically making you feel helpless was the worst. Overall it is a good experience but at the time you feel like your gonna go crazy there.
Joseph565112 3 years ago
Plebe year is the worst no doubt. The Firsties treat you like shit and pretty much anybody and everybody can tell you what to do. You rarely get to leave. God it sucks. I'd have to say Iraq was better than my first year there. Even though I got shot in the leg!
Joseph565112 3 years ago
Joseph, thank you so much for serving. Your commitment speaks volumes and I am thankful that prior enlisted men and women are in the classrooms along with our other Plebes. Your field experience is invaluable to these students and they will gain much from your input. I caught a glimpse of my own son in this video. Are you at USMA now?

oops, I made an assumption there... did you graduate and then go to Iraq, or enlist then go to USMA?
Anonagron 3 years ago
Actually when I was 17 I enlisted in the South Carolina Army National Guard. That way between my junior and senior years in highschool I could do basic and get totally prepared for USMA. Plus being in a branch of service really helps in getting accepted. Not just because you have a lot of experience but also you dont need the congressional nomination for the application process. All I needed was a recommendation from my company commander.
Joseph565112 3 years ago
If you're from South Carolina, why didn't you go to The Citadel? It's just as good as West Point if you ask me, as is VMI, and in your case The Citadel is right there in your home state.
