The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is on track to make history this year with its largest ever class of female cadets.
Megan Snook, 17, is among the 224 young women who have accepted offers to enter the class of 2011, representing a record-breaking 17 percent of the 1,314 future Army officers that West Point had on its rolls as of May 31.
“I get excited about getting to serve my country, and the patriotism just hits,” said Snook, who graduated this month from Carlisle Regional High School in Concord. She is the only woman from Massachusetts entering West Point’s class of 2011, officials said.
