Will be visiting the academy the same week as finals. Son has an interview only without a tour because the cadets are studying. How much of the academy will he be able to visit? We live a long way from NY and this was the only week we could make the trip work. Thanks for your help.
When are you going? My daughter and I will be there 3/25 - 3/28
she is doing an overnight 3/26.
I thought I read on their site that they will not schedule visits during their finals?
"There are several periods during the year when escorted visits to the Academy are not available (although a meeting and interview with an admissions representatives may be possible) :
The weeks immediately before and after trimester final exams.
The week of trimester break and the first two days after midshipmen return from the break.
The weeks of the winter holiday break.
The period from the Friday before memorial Day weekend until the middle of August.
Several "blackout" dates during the course of the academic year due to special campus events. During the periods when no escorted visits are available, students may still arrange an "Interview Only" visit with an admissions recruiter. Note that this option is not available during two weeks in July when Indoctrination of incoming freshmen (plebes) is underway. The Academy campus is closed to visitors during Indoctrination.
Students interested in visiting the Academy should call, toll free, 1-866-546- 4778 (1-866-KINGSPT), or 516-773-5391 to schedule an appointment. Any visit must be scheduled at least one week in advance."
