Westpoint on your Resume?

would you put your 'selection' (even though you didn't join the course and chose to go to college instead) in West Point as an army cadet on your CV under 'Additional/Activities' section

I wouldn't. I don't list the colleges I COULD have gone to on my resume, and neither should you. Did you end up doing ROTC or anything?

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
 
Password_Is_TacoThat actually pisses me off--way to take a slot from someone who actually wanted it, and then waste it. Fucktard.
Not really. That's why schools have waitlists. Yes he'd be a tool to put that on his resume, and asking if he possibly could makes me wonder what kind of person he is, but alone, nothing wrong with applying to a school, being accepted, and not matriculating.
 

true, but I don't think it's unusual for a decent number of kids to bail on a acceptance to Army/Navy/Air Force each year, pretty sure those numbers are build into the system. It's definitely not for everyone, better decide it's not for you before you go, rather than halfway through plebe summer
