I completed my application to the Academy through the LEAD program in mid-October, and like so many others, I'm now just waiting to hear back. My academic scores were as follows:
SAT EBRW: 720
SAT Math: 710
HS GPA 3.97
Rank: 4/87
I've also done 18 college credits with a 4.0 GPA in the past year (while on Active Duty), though at a questionable online "college"
From what I've seen, I have a fairly legitimate shot at gaining an appointment for direct entry. While I've always done well in academic environments, my concern lies in stepping directly back into an intense academic environment, after being out of one for over 3 years.
I'd like to know if anyone has, or knows anyone who has, entered directly into the Academy from Active Duty and perhaps struggled or regretted skipping the Prep School, or if they quickly caught back up and were able to succeed without the transition year.
