Finally, don't bank your hopes on one school. Your application cannot fully represent who you are. Sometimes the right people are overlooked for acceptance. You can be anything you want to be with or without the Academy. As a cadet here, I know firsthand what goes on at our nation's finest service academy.
West Point is a great place.
Females can and DO succeed here along with their male counterparts. If you are the kind of person who is athletic and likes to be involved in different activities, if you want to take a leadership role in your career, or if you would like to be in the Army, don't let anyone hold you back. This place is awesome. Work hard, play hard. While not having the prestige of the Academies, many, if not all, of our experiences were the same as those trailblazers.
