Service Academy Consulting provides you with your own personal consultant who guides you from the beginning of your service academy preparation, through your nomination, appointment, and your first day at the academy of your choice. We accept clients starting their freshmen year in high school and provide guidance and advice completely free of charge during the student’s freshmen and sophomore years, with no obligations. Contact between the consultant and the student is conducted through the telephone, email, and online web cameras. Face to face meetings are typically limited to clients in the local area of the consultant.
The following are examples of the services we provide:

Comprehensive evaluation of candidate qualifications – This is a detailed look and review of all areas the service academies evaluate (fitness, academic ranking, standardized testing, interview skills, writing, athletic participation, leadership experience, extra-curricular activities, community involvement, etc.). You are provided with a guided plan to improve on your weaker areas.

High school course recommendations – The service academies prefer that you take specific types of courses during your high school career. We analyze your transcripts and course plan in order to make necessary recommendations.

Extra-curricular activities recommendations – A look at your current extra-curricular activities will help determine if any changes are needed. We help guide you on some of the best activities and leadership positions available based on what the service academies prefer.

Pre-Candidate Questionnaires and applications – Starting with the pre-candidate questionnaire through the actual academy application process, the amount of paperwork can be overwhelming, especially when applying to multiple academies. We help guide you through the paperwork maze to avoid disqualification due to omissions or errors.

Applications for the academies' Summer Programs – The summer seminars and programs at the service academies are very important opportunities for you to see and experience the academies first hand. Attending a summer program also shows the academy how much interest you have in gaining an appointment. We help with the applications to get into these excellent programs.

Physical Requirements – We provide you with a tailored workout program and evaluation that prepares you for the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) and brief you on the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) process.

Standardized Testing (SAT/ACT) – Your consultant evaluates your test scores and makes recommendations on how to improve your scores.

Congressional/Vice Presidential Nominations – We help you with the application process and paperwork required for gaining a nomination to the service academies.

Preparation of Resumes and Letters of Recommendation – We provide you with examples of resumes and letters of recommendation and will proofread your work. We also help you with the important decision of who to ask for a recommendation.

Interview preparation – We give interview preparation advice and perform multiple mock interviews. We analyze your mock interviews and provide you with feedback on ways to improve your interview skills.

Essay improvement – We provide you with sample essays and proofread and correct your essays. We help you frame ideas for your essays and provide you with suggestions on areas that need improvement.

Expert advice, encouragement, and guidance always available – We are always available to help answer any questions you have and to assist you in anyway we can with the goal of getting you into the service academy of your choice.

Advice in evaluating alternatives to direct academy entrance from high school – Getting into the academies is not always possible right out of high school. There are many alternatives (e.g. ROTC and prep schools) that can help you get an appointment after an extra year or sometimes even two. We will help you make the best choice to get you where you want to be.

Once you get an appointment into one of the service academies our relationship is not over. We help prepare you for the rigorous first summer at the service academies with services ranging from a custom physical fitness program to an introduction to basic military skills like how to shine shoes.

We stay in contact with you throughout your four exciting years at the academy and beyond as you enter active duty. We consider all of our clients a part of our family and we sincerely hope that you will consider us a part of yours.
