<p>Now granted, there are those that excelled at sports that got into West Point more easily than the rest; but unless the OP was a good high school athlete with the potential to play at the collegiate level, I know his chances are slim.</p>
<p>Also, I know from 2 relatives that were active duty soldiers who did get entry into the academies (West Point and Annapolis) that there are more applicants from active duty personnel than you may think. And believe me, there will be quite a number of active duty applicants that had decent high school GPAs.</p>
<p>Now you may want to refute what I’ve said and sugarcoat the OP’s chances for getting in…that’s fine. But I know he has an uphill battle. --Just saying it like I see it. </p>
<p>Think like an admissions officer. He/she will be pouring over applicants from other active duty personnel with good to great GPAs and good to great ACT test scores. The OP had a good score, BUT not a great score. Unless there is something in the OP’s application that can show he can succeed academically at West Point, he has a slim chance. I really hope he gets into the academy. I really do.</p>
