About Bill Taylor
Expertise
I can answer questions about admissions to West Point; about the history of West Point; about how to travel to West Point, where to eat, where to stay, etc.; and about West Point`s alumni organization, the West Point Association of Graduates.

Experience
I am a 1970 Graduate of West Point. I served six years on active duty and another 8 years in the active reserve. I have been actively involved as a Field Admissions Representative for over 15 years and have participated on my Congressman's Academy Selection Panel for over 20 years. I am actively involved in West Point Alumni affairs, serving in roles both with the West Point Association of Graduates and the local alumni chapter in Annapolis, MD. I also have two sons who graduated from West Point in 1995 and 2001. Both are veterans of the Iraq war and continue to serve on Active Duty in the Army.

Question
Hi i am a senior in highschool and i was woundeering can I go strait to west Point or do I have to wait i will only be 18

Answer
Hi, Avraham, it's good to hear from you.  Thanks for your interest in West Point.

The basic admissions requirements for West Point are spelled out in detail on the Admissions website at

www.westpoint.edu/admissions

Your specific question is answered on the first prospectus page:

http://admissions.usma.edu/prospectus/step_01.cfm

Where it says, "Each candidate must: be 17 but not yet 23 years of age by July 1 of year admitted."

So, YES, you can go straight to West Point from high school so long as you are 17 years old.

Check out the West Point website carefully, Avraham, and good luck in your quest.

Best Regards,

Bill Taylor
Gambrills, MD
