•    Why do you want to attend a United States Service Academy?
•    What life experiences have prepared you for the rigors and demands of life at an academy?

5. Minimum Requirements: The Service Academies have established very high standards for admission.  A grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 and SAT scores of 550 Math and 500 Critical Reading are the MINIMUM scholastic standards for admission.  If you do not meet the minimum requirements, then you should seriously reconsider your decision to apply for a nomination.
