IT STATES:
ADMISSIONS DECISIONS
West Point has a rolling admissions policy. Outstanding, qualified, nominated candidates will be offered admission as their records become complete. All admissions files must be complete, to include nominations, by the last workday in February.
Financial and Service Obligation
As a cadet, you are a member of the U.S. Army and receive a full scholarship and an annual salary of more than $10,000 from which you pay for your uniforms, textbooks, a laptop computer, and incidentals. There is no tuition charge, but there is a requirement for an initial deposit. Room, board, and medical and dental care are provided by the United States Government.
SO SHUT UP DEMORAT TROLL (AND ALL THE REST OF YOU HATERS)!
Once again you ignorant fool.
Carson, in his OWN BOOK says he was “offered” a scholarship to West
Point but turned it down to go the medical route.
There is no such thing as being “offered” a scolarship to West Point.
Period.
When Carson says he was “offered” a scholarship to West Point
it is an untrue statement IN HIS OWN BOOK. I did not right the
statement. He did.
Nobody ever questioned that West Point paid full boat and more.
But nobody is “offered a scholarship” to West Point without going through the complete application process.
This fits a pattern of Carson stretching things to sell his story. E.g., “Bob” now wasn’t a friend named Bob, but a close family member, without specifying even that the family member was male, who this week told Carson he or she doesn’t want his or her part of the story out.
