The Military Academy at West Point uses several categories to decide on an applicant's admission; they are academic excellence, athletic aptitude, and leadership potential. There is no set GPA requirement, but in today's (Feb 2015) competitive academic environment, mid 3.0's are certainly very helpful.
To attend West Point, assuming it's the high school West point, then it's simple. All one would need to do is graduate from middle school. If speaking of a West Point College, having a 3.0 and a good score on the ACT or SAT would be beneficial.
No you need a 3.8 GPA to get into West Point. For Annapolis, you need 3.86. For the Air Force Academy, you need 3.83.
No. A military police officer goes through military basic training, then the militray equivalent of a police academy, but does not need to attend a civilian police academy.
He attended the Military Academy.
If you want to get into the Naval Academy, you need to have a grade point average of a 4.0. If you do not have a 4.0, it must be in the 'A' range. Also having a 4.0 doesn't mean you will get accepted.
The idea of having a military academy to provide officers for future campaigns was that of Alexander Hamilton so it is only natural that they honor him in this way. He expressed the ideas of the need for such an institution when he was Secretary of the Treasury during George Washington's administration. He probably should have consulted the Secretary of War first.
West Point Academy is a very good college to go to become a CIA agent
Probably not, but for admission into West Point the answer would be yes. However to gain admission as an enlisted soldier at USMA you must be an outstanding soldier and must show evident leadership potential. This is the path I recommend to you to be able to gain admission into an Ivy league School in accordance with your current situation but keep in mind that the admission process for an enlisted soldier is tough and competitive and most probably you would need to attend the United States Military Academy Preparatory School first before being able to study at West Point. You also need to be under 23 by the July of the year you gain admission tot he academy. No age waivers are allowed. If you do make it into USMA and have graduated from West Point you then can apply for admission to an Ivy League school for graduate study and most probably you will be accepted due to West Point's high emphasis on extra-curricular activities and leadership, teamwork skills. Many West Point graduates have followed this path. For example, West Point alumni such as General John Abizaid, General Stanley McChrystal and Lieutenant Colonel Harold Moore have attended Harvard University. Good luck. http://www.usma.edu/ http://admissions.usma.edu/

Thomas Jefferson was the most unlikely father of the American professional army. He was fearful of creating a standing army that might threaten the civil government, but the needs of the country demanded a well trained military officer corps. There was a need for American engineers for the military. We were depending on foreign engineers at the time. West Point would be our first engineering school. Also Jefferson was losing his battle to avoid a national military; he favored State organized militia. After the Naval War on the Barbary pirates, and seeing the potential of war with Britain in Canada, Jefferson saw that a national, professional military was unavoidable and he felt that if there was going to be a permanent military officer corps that it must be trained not as a European style elite class outside and separate from the government, but as an instrument of the republic, in a sense as a "people's army". The requirement that cadets must be approved into the corps by their congressman is an example of Jefferson's measures to make sure the military was always answerable to the civil government. West Point, New York is the location of the US Military Academy.
Pheonix Military Academy is located in Chicago.
