Glenn66 you have asked the same questions before. Not every new plebe was the “top in their class”. Your best bet is to contact the academy, and sit down with someone in the admissions office. If you are attending college (junior college, state school or university) remember to pack in the math and science. Keep trying do not give up. There are midshipmen that have applied several times before being accepted. Watch the movie “Annapolis”.

Another route is to self-prep at a school where the academies send their prep students. One such school is the New Mexico Military Institute [NMMI Prep Program Homepage](Academy Prep Program - New Mexico Military Institute) in Roswell, New Mexico. This program is not easy. Also try Northwestern Prep [Northwestern Preparatory School](http://www.northwesternprep.com/) in Southern California. These programs have great track records for helping the “less than perfect” students get into academies. Call them!
