    Switch schools for a better chance to acceptance?

    Questions about Life at West Point

    Questions about Life at West Point

    USMA Class of 2021

    I understand that you want to major in political science but if you want to "mirror" the plebe schedule at the academy, I suggest to prioritize which is more important-showing Admissions that you can handle the general plebe classes instead of knocking out classes for your major. Ask yourself...
