Camedic I think you have a good chance of getting in. My nurse case manager in the warrior transition brigade, who was the head nurse at west point for several years, is encouraging me to apply.

According to the following article, many slots reserved for enlisted soldiers go unused.

I contacted the admissions center and they were eager for me to apply. My ACT was a 27 and my GT score is 128. I think being a combat veteran helps a lot in the application process.

I’m going to apply, but if I’m not accepted it’s not really a big deal. I’m not big on the idea of being bossed around by “senior cadets” anyway. I would have a very hard time taking them seriously as compared to my drill sergeants.

My advice is go for it. Worst than can happen is they say no.
