The five United States military service academies are some of the
most elite schools in the nation, taking the finest high school
students and turning them into commissioned officers of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. Over 60,000
students a year begin the arduous process of applying, and about
4,000 get in. At West Point alone, over 15,000 candidates start the
applications process. Less than a third of them finish it. Some
figure out that they aren't going to be competitive, some get
derailed with specific problems, and some get lost and drop out
even though they might have gotten in. From applications to
Congressional nominations, from athletics to medical
qualifications, the process is unlike any other for getting into
college. This book leads students and their families through the
process step by step, offering the tools needed for the very best
chance of success. Covering special issues and concerns like LGBTQ,
women and minorities, criminal records, and more, the author also
discusses whether attending a service academy is RIGHT for the
prospective student, and what he or she can expect upon acceptance,
admission, and attendance. Using his personal experience in helping
his son through the applications process, Michael Singer Dobson
provides all candidates with the ins and outs of the competition
for a spot at one of these prestigious schools.
