I’ve been on this forum for about 2 years now asking about tips on how to gain admittance to West Point, and now that I’ve gotten in I’m having serious doubts about attending. Throughout all of high school I wanted to attend USMA, but now that I’ve experienced college and a 4th class cadet system at an SMC, I’m not sure whether it’s worth it to attend USMA. Everything is weighted towards the academy... Free college, ivy level education, and an extremely powerful brand on my resume, but I can’t help to think that if I attend West Point I will heavily regret missing out on the freedoms and joys of college. I love Army rotc and my class mates, I love the freedom granted to me, but i can’t stop thinking how selfish I would be to turn down this appointment just to enjoy college. I don’t know what to gain from posting here, but I really hope someone could give me their perspective.
