How can I contact a West Point Academy recruiter?

I'm interested in applying to West Point Academy and I think speaking to a recruiter could really help me out. Does anyone know the best way to get in touch with a recruiter or any tips for the recruitment process?

You can find a West Point admissions representative, also known as a Field Force Representative, that's local to your region. Field Force Representatives are usually West Point alumni who volunteer to interface with prospective cadets and guide them through the application process.

To find a representative near you, you should first go to the West Point admissions website. On this site, there's a page titled "Candidate Outreach Field Force" under the "Admissions" section. Here, you can find a map of the United States showing all the regions where a Field Force Representative is assigned. Selected the region that matches where you live to see your representative's contact info.

Reaching out to your local Field Force Representative is just like reaching out to other admissions representatives at different colleges. You should send them a clear and concise e-mail introducing yourself, explaining your interest in West Point, and asking any questions you have about the application process. Keep in mind to remain polite and humble—this e-mail is part of making a good impression.

Remember, the ultimate goal is to get a nomination, usually through a congressperson, as part of your application to West Point. A Field Force Representative can be very useful in guiding you through obtaining a nomination. Having a solid rapport with your representative can be beneficial in this process. However, please be respectful of the representative's time as they are volunteers.

Finally, you can also explore the option of attending West Point Academy’s Summer Program to gain further insights and network with representatives and current cadets. Good luck with your application!
