I agree with rest of the people. And get that West Point candidate book ESPECIALLY. I bought it long ago and it really helped me out how to get things started my Junior year.
I don't have the book, but my recommendation is get the book if you can't spend some time on the admissions website, attend local West Point briefings, and/or get in touch with your liaison officer.
I have been a FFR for about 10 years now. It might sound too simple, there is no secret in the admissions process, with an exception of failing CFA score. If I wrote a book on how to increase your chance of getting accepted by West Point
1. Read and follow West Point Admissions Office instructions
2. Read and follow MOC's instruction on their nomination process.
3. Get in touch with your liaison officer
4. Start early, your senior year is not the best time to start
5. Get highest class ranking/SAT/ACT scores you can.
6. Seek leadership positions
7. Play varsity sports or equivalent.
8. Ask questions
9. Hope and pray.
I don't want to be judgmental, but I know some of your peers get it as they complete their application by early September of their senior year where as some of your peers contact me now and ask me what they should do.
