Step 6: Official Candidate

If the information provided in your Preliminary Application indicates your record is strong enough, you will become an official candidate for admission and you will receive a complete candidate application packet as early as the July prior to your high school senior year.  Upon completion of your candidate file, the Admissions Board will review your record.

You should complete the forms and ensure they are returned to the Academy as soon as you possibly can, preferably within 30 days.
