Hey guys, this is my first time posting on the USMA thread, but have found it real helpful.
I was planning on attending USNA for a long time because I wanted to be a Marine. However, I wrote the Army off. I'm not sure why, honestly. But as soon as I looked into the Army I got more excited than ever. So, I went and completed my application for West point and ROTC ASAP. However, I did not receive a nomination for West Point because at the time of interviews I had it ranked very low. So, I ended up receiving a 4-year scholarship froman ROTC to RPI. So here is where I come to my issue. My goal truly is to become an officer in the Army. Is reapplying for West point worth putting myself back a year of achieving my ultimate goal? Also, my goal is to become an Infantry Officer and hopefully get the chance to get to Ranger school for 63 days and become an elite soldier if that helps at all.
Any help would be much appreciated.
