Admissions
As with the other United States military academies' prep schools, there is no separate application for USMAPS, only the West Point application. Admission officers will offer USMAPS to potential West Point cadets who have received their Congressional appointments yet may lack the grades or skills necessary for West Point. During the middle of the Prep school year, Cadet Candidates must submit new applications to West Point, including the Congressional nomination. By June, Cadet Candidates will receive word of their application status and West Point acceptance. Most of those who attend the Prep School will go on to West Point contingent on their application, academics and grades, physical training, and military instruction. Some Candidates may transfer to other service academies, or be sent back to United States Army as a regular enlisted soldier.
