Military Academies
Any junior interested in the United States Military Academies should investigate the application procedures leading to acceptance. The application process begins in the spring of the junior year. Nomination spots fill early so the sooner you get information to apply for a nomination the better. You can ask more than one senator or representative. The process includes filling out and mailing 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.
Competition is rigorous. 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 the junior year is the recommended time to apply for a nomination, but later requests may be accepted. If you are interested in securing an appointment to one of the academies, you should write to your senators and representatives and to the academy of your choice for additional information.
