<p>A word to the wise about the National Wait List. Your chances of getting into West Point in any given year also relate to the date that you are actually put on the National Wait List. If you are late in the process and the “yield factor” from the Admissions Office is high from earlier offers, you still may not get an appointment even though your total candidate score is higher than some candidates that were given earlier in the process off of the National Wait List.</p>
<p>SO…get your applications in as early as possible and make sure you work as aggressively as possible to cure any DoDMERB problems that may arise. Contrary to what you may have heard, the turtle doesn’t get into West Point.</p>
