“As part of the application, West Point requires a thorough background check. Applicants must report any legal violations, including arrests, citations, convictions, or fines. This information is verified, and a police records checkis conducted.
While the admissions office doesn't evaluate an applicant based on their family's wealth or social status, it does require some family-related information for specific purposes. For example:
-
Parental Consent: If an applicant is under 18 at the time of admission, a "Parents' Statement of Consent" is required.”
