Service Academy Consulting Services
Comprehensive, personalized, and ongoing Service Academy admissions guidance to help you craft a stand-out application to earn an appointment to the Service Academy of your choice.
Our Innovative Approach to Service Academy Consulting
The process to earn an appointment to a Service Academy isn’t straightforward. Our goal is to simplify the process while teaching students actionable steps to take to increase their odds of earning an appointment.
Serving in the military as an officer and leader is a selfless act of service. While young men and women graduate the Service Academies debt free, the commitment to serve and lead in our nation’s military is not to be taken lightly.
With competition continuing to increase, it’s never been more essential for families and students to understand the strategic steps to take that give them a competitive edge. We can help.

At first, we were so overwhelmed. You helped us to lay a path to success.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend students begin to consider their Service Academy applications as soon as they enter high school. However, if we’re advising throughout the application, we typically begin working with a student during the spring of their Junior year of high school.
We help with all areas of the application for one Service Academy. After working with us you’ll be able to apply concepts to other Service Academies. We simplify the process for you and create target goals for your student. This includes maximizing the point totals, advising whether to retake standardized tests, essay and interview preparation, help with any psychological testing, general medical questions and connecting the applicant with current officers to learn more about life as a cadet/midshipman and future officer.
