West Point recommends 4 years of English. You aren't required to take 4 years of English to receive an appointment, but when West Point recommends you to do something it is probably in your best interest to do it. If you want to make yourself a competitive candidate, take English next year even if you can get a letter of recommendation from your freshman English teacher.
In reference to you planning your schedule, here is what WP recommends you take in high school:
• Four years of English, with a strong emphasis on composion, grammar, literature, and speech
• Four years of math: algebra, geometry, intermediate algebra, and trigonometry
• Two years of a foreign language
Two years of a laboratory science such as chemistry, biology, or physics
One year of U.S. history
Courses in geography, government, and economics will be helpful as well, as will precalculus/calculus and basic compung
Also, I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard West Point prefers letters of recommendation coming from teachers that taught you in your Junior or Senior year. Can anyone confirm if this is true or false?
