The pain of applying to the Academy is what motivated us to start Academy Endeavors – because, let’s be real, the Service Academy application process is the most complex college application process in the country, it’s not even close, and we want to help YOU win. We used to coach applicants through the Ivy League college application process, and the Ivy Leagues don’t hold a candle to how long, intense, and unclear the Service Academy admissions process is. 

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most complex part of the Academy admissions process: the most often asked about, and most mysterious, and that is the Congressional Nomination process. 

Here’s why: no other college requires it. This is completely unique to the Service Academies, and it throws another curveball in the long journey to get to your dream of an Academy appointment.
