As it was explained to my son, there are plenty of “fresh from law school” attorneys willing to be commissioned, that USNA does not need to pay for anyone’s law school." If you are counting on law as a career (and I would also apply this to medical, as there are so few spots), you need to think if this is the right choice for you. The Army has a program, but it’s only after at least two years of active duty. Only 25 officers per year are selected for this, and they can come from anywhere, not just the academy. Bottom line: do not count on the academy (any academy) to pave your way to law school.
