I've been thinking about enlisting in a military college, but I'm uncertain about their academic standards. Does anyone know what GPA I would likely need to maintain in order to graduate from a military academy of sorts?
Typically, military service academies, such as the United States Military Academy (West Point), United States Naval Academy, or the United States Air Force Academy, require a minimum GPA for graduation, but the exact figure can vary from one academy to another.
Usually, a minimum GPA of around 2.0 is necessary to graduate from a military academy. Yet, you should aim for much higher than that to ensure your overall performance as a cadet is strong. Remember, succeeding at a military academy involves excelling not just academically, but also physically and ethically. It's a holistic experience and assessment. You should check specific requirements on the respective academy's website or contact their admissions office directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
