Where in your link does it state that Carson claimed to have been accepted to West Point?
What it says is that Carson was told by unnamed Army officers that they could get him into West Point, but he begged off, letting them know he wanted to become a doctor instead. So, they never set about the process of getting him nominated and accepted.
Bill, that is true. I was the highest student ROTC member in Detroit and was thrilled to get an offer from West Point. But I knew medicine is what I wanted to do. So I applied to only one school. (it was all the money I had). I applied to Yale and thank God they accepted me. I often wonder what might have happened had they said no.
West point has NO record of offering Carson anything.
