Application Strategy
Securing a congressional nomination is a required step in your application, so contact your U.S. Representative and both U.S. Senators as early as the spring of your junior year to request a nomination packet and understand each office's specific deadlines and application requirements.
Application Strategy
Train specifically for the Candidate Fitness Assessment, which includes pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, a basketball throw, and a shuttle run, since your CFA scores are a formal part of your admissions file and weak results can disqualify an otherwise strong application.
