One does not “apply” to West Point. You must apply to a congress critter or distinct other officeholders for an “appointment” . This appointment is made, but NOT guaranteed to be admitted.
For example, a friend long ago qualified for an appointment, made the connections and had the excellence in grades and accomplishments. Went to USMA for the process... and failed the medical exam- they discovered rheumatic heart disease, and rejected him. Now the prelim medical would stop the process early. He went on to live until age 44, and was a great loss to potential leadership.
This treatment of Carson is being done by....GOPe and possibly hitlery too, working in tandem to engineer hitlery vs. yeb. imho. Carson is a bright man but not politically smart. The story was poorly, innaccurately written.

Oh really? It seems the Office of Admissions at West Point feels differently.

Shocked how many freepers just bought this utterly bogus story today hook, line, and sinker.
That’s how much some of you hate this god man.
Now you look like fools after Politico was exposed.
