<p>there are alot of fuzzy things to the west point admissions. At least as an outsider, on the inside it probably all makes sense.</p>
<p>My son was a HS graduate in 2005, went to NMMI as an AOG prep, and is a plebe this year. Without a doubt it was the best thing that could happen to him. Do you get the pizzazz of saying you are off to West Point while a HS senior, but in the real, grown up world after HS, it really pays off. I would just second comments above, next best thing… means to an end etc.</p>
<p>I would suggest you say …yes I am very interested in AOG, being from Ga, MArion is the obvious choice. </p>
<p>As to timing, this wont be comforting my S received his AOG appt. in June --after HS graduation , he had all but given up … on WP…</p>
<p>Also I so agree, as I started this process, finding CC helped so much… also subsribe to the prosepctive net… i got a great letter on the AOG, when I asked off of that…</p>
<p>hang in there!</p>
