UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMIES
Any junior interested in the United States Service Academies should investigate the application procedures leading to acceptance. The application process begins in the spring of your junior year and terminates approximately November 15. The process includes filling out the application forms, taking the necessary college admissions examinations and requesting that test scores be mailed to the appropriate program or institution. Deadline dates vary. It is your responsibility to know when they are.
Competition is stiff. Candidates for all but the Coast Guard Academy must have a nomination, usually from a member of Congress or the Vice President of the United States. Spring semester of your junior year is the recommended time to apply for a nomination, but later requests may be accepted. Visit the websites below for specific dates and requirements. A nomination does not guarantee admission but one is required for your application to move forward in the selection process.
