I’m in uncharted territory here and need some advice. My daughter is 16 (as of December this year) and a junior in high school. She has enough credits to graduate now but only wants to go to a Service Academy, so due to her age and number of AP/BC credits, we have opted to keep her in high school one more year while taking a full course load of additional AP/BC credits (she currently has 43). She has high SAT scores and a weighted GPA of 4.68. She is finishing her pilot and instrument rating right now. She is currently debating between applying to the Citadel, Texas A&M and the USNA. The issue we are facing is that she ONLY wants to be in the USMC, as she has 4 big brothers who are active duty. She is concerned that if she goes USNA, she may not receive a Marine commission. Can anyone enlighten me or provide some advice on the best route to guide her?
