I was recently pursuing an application at USMA however ran into some setbacks but want to apply for class of 2029 next year. Just wanted to share my story and see if anyone had any recommendations on pursuing the school or any other options.
About a year ago today I started really noticing west point as a school to attend being a junior in high school. Then, I joined the wrestling team as 97% of admits play a varsity sport. Before, I was a captain of marching band although did not enjoy it. I loved sports but broke multiple bones and got frequently injured playing as a kid. However I had been going to the gym a lot and was able to make varsity on wrestling joining before senior year.
Going into the Summer I became a captain in my congresswoman’s internship program. Main purpose for this was to get the nomination of course however actually learned a lot about politics. In addition I was accepted to and went to SLE at west point. However doing the CFA at SLE I failed the mile time despite leading my group in pushups and being advanced in other categories. When I got back home I dedicated myself to finishing the application. Soon after training for the CFA, I pulled a muscle in my lower back on barbell squat. I had a muscle lumbar or spasms and was barely able to walk for about a month.
In August a captain in admissions of west point called me to redo my interview as it did not go well during SLE. Doing so, he offered me a Letter of Assurance.
When wrestling season was starting, I strained another muscle in my rhomboid area of my back. A month after that I badly hyperextended my elbow wrestling tearing a lot of soft tissue. At this point it was late in the year, I received my nomination and completed basically every part of my west point application but my physical and the CFA. I was about to do my CFA finally but during League finals of wrestling, I made it to semi finals where I hurt my knee which i just found out more than 3 months later was a tear in my meniscus of my right knee and possible need surgery.
This put an end to my application for class of 2028 however I still am determined to attend West Point. Like I mentioned, any tips for reapplying be very appreciated. Thank you.
