The 7 Pillars of Sensational Candidates: Pillar 7

The final pillar of our series: Geographic representation. Federal regulation states that if there is a qualified candidate in each district, at least one appointment offer will be granted. It is extremely unique to the Service Academies to have representation of the entire population as a whole, not just a few metropolitan areas.

Most colleges say they focus on the "whole person concept". But their efforts fall short.

It's the Academies that focus on everything. Physical fitness, medical health, and character evaluations.

While the common app has streamlined college applications, there's no such thing for Academies.

The average Academy applicant, when combined with nominations and ROTCs, has 7 military interviews, 3 fitness tests, 15 essays, and 22 letters of recommendation.

This is the true whole person concept, and it's why every Academy applicant needs a guide to maximize their chances of success.

More updates soon… but for now, just proud of what’s happening behind the scenes.

The 7 Pillars of Sensational Candidates: Pillar 6

Diversity. Not only ethnicity and gender, but also talent! Recruited athletes, private pilot license scuba license, etc. Officers should represent the country as a whole, as well as the enlisted that they lead.

Rolling admissions means those who submit first increase their odds.

All the Academies (except USCGA) do rolling admissions.

If you're a junior, don't let the application process drag on. Designate this summer to get your stuff done before senior year craziness starts.

It will improve your chances, and alleviate stress.

Most colleges don't have character development at the core.

But the cornerstone of the Academy experience is character development. Core values are central to the education.

In fact, in Angela Duckworth's award-winning book "Grit", she dedicates an entire chapter to the Service Academies.

It is because it's so challenging, Duckworth alludes, that it builds resilience. Character is formed in the furnace of adversity.

There's no better place than the Academy to simulate this.
