If you are still having doubts about accepting an appointment, even after posting this same question a month ago, you need to do some soul searching and really ask yourself why you want to go to West Point. Is it to become an Army officer? Is it because someone wants you to go there? Is it because you think it's a great way to get a great education? Was it just to see if you could get accepted and now that you have, now what? As a USMA grad, I can honestly tell you that you have to want to join the long gray line for reasons bigger than yourself. You have to want it more than anything. Those four years were some of the toughest, yet most rewarding times of my life. Those times were what I needed to be the best Army officer that I could be. If you don't want to be there more than anything, it is extremely difficult, and maybe some would say impossible, to survive those four years.
