Book excerpt: This report illuminates an aspect of the service academy admissions process that has received comparatively little attention: congressional nominations. In order to be considered for admission to one of these academies, most applicants must first obtain a nomination from their U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator. While congressional committees and individual members have spoken about a concerning lack of gender diversity in the service academies, they have rarely acknowledged the disparate rates at which Members of Congress themselves nominate female candidates for admission. This analysis, the first of its kind, finds that Members of Congress have overwhelmingly nominated young men rather than young women, thus depriving the academies of a more balanced pool of candidates.

This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five United States military service academies are some of the most elite schools in the nation, taking the finest high school students and turning them into commissioned officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. Over 60,000 students a year begin the arduous process of applying, and about 4,000 get in. At West Point alone, over 15,000 candidates start the applications process. Less than a third of them finish it. Some figure out that they aren’t going to be competitive, some get derailed with specific problems, and some get lost and drop out even though they might have gotten in. From applications to Congressional nominations, from athletics to medical qualifications, the process is unlike any other for getting into college. This book leads students and their families through the process step by step, offering the tools needed for the very best chance of success. Covering special issues and concerns like LGBTQ, women and minorities, criminal records, and more, the author also discusses whether attending a service academy is RIGHT for the prospective student, and what he or she can expect upon acceptance, admission, and attendance. Using his personal experience in helping his son through the applications process, Michael Singer Dobson provides all candidates with the ins and outs of the competition for a spot at one of these prestigious schools.
