Does West Point Military Academy recognize IELTS scores and admit them?

I don't admit that the enrollment of West Point Military Academy has its own formal standards. For foreigners, it is only allowed in 2009. The requirements are very demanding.

In 2009, the US military allowed foreigners with short-term visas to join the army.

For a long time, the US military's recruitment targets were limited to its own citizens and green card holders, but a bill passed by Congress allowed to break this rule, "if it is proved to be vital to national interests". According to the instructions of the Pentagon, the three armed forces of the United States began to put the expansion plan on the agenda gradually at the end of last year, and the Department of Homeland Security also began to revise relevant immigration laws and regulations. The report pointed out that this will be the first time since the Vietnam War that the US military has opened its doors to "foreign citizens without green cards".

This new policy is mainly aimed at foreigners in the United States with short-term work visas, and will be open to students and refugees in the future (excluding illegal immigrants). To join the US military as a foreigner, you must meet the following conditions: you must leave the United States for no more than 90 days in the past two years, and you must also pass the English proficiency test of the US military. The military plans to launch pilot projects in big cities such as new york. It is reported that the personnel needed by the US military cover medical treatment, foreign language translation and battlefield intelligence analysis. The first batch of recruits 1000 people, including 550 foreign language talents and 300 medical staff, mainly serving the army; If all goes well, the scope will be extended to all units of the whole army. It is estimated that the US military hopes that 1.4 million people with similar backgrounds will join the army every year after the plan is fully launched.

The US military believes that the professional skills and multicultural background of these foreign soldiers are of great help to improve the field translation, medical care and intelligence analysis capabilities of the troops. "Our human resources are expected to be further enriched," said General Benjamin Freckley, the project manager. He also said that eligible foreigners can be naturalized as American citizens at the earliest after six months of enlistment, and the relevant fees are exempted.

According to the detailed rules issued by the Pentagon, all foreign language experts should serve in the army for at least 4 years, and medical personnel should serve for 3 years (the reserve is extended to 6 years). People who don't obey the discipline may still be disqualified from citizenship.
