I received my appointment to WP a week ago. Ever since I became interested in the Academies (about 4 years ago), I have been set on WP over USNA 99% of the time. Similarly, for the last several months, I have preferred WP over USNA. I have yet to even receive a waiver for USNA, and it could be a while before that happens, and longer still before a decision is made on my application.
I know I prefer USMA to USNA as a school, and I think I know more or less what my goals are in the military, but for whatever reason I am still hesitating to accept the appointment. I know in the end this is entirely my decision to make and I've talked it through with my parents and guidance counselor, but thought people on SAF would understand the dilemma better. So my question is, objectively, do you think I should go ahead and accept the appointment (so I can get started on paperwork, etc.), or should I wait to hear from USNA?
