Hiw would one go about applying to the Military Prep school as a current soldier? How likely is it to get accepted into this program, ie what does it take to get in?

If I understand your question correctly. To attend West Point Prep school you have to develop a packet and have the support/recommendation of your senior COC at the nominative level. Your S1 can provide you with the requirements specific to your packet. It also helps to have a Federal officials nomination, home town Senator or Congressman. Thank you for your service.

As LTC Mackay said, go straight to the USMA admissions website and read the information. Short answer, you have to apply to West Point. You cannot apply directly to the prep school, but will be considered if your application is not competitive enough to receive an appointment directly to USMA. Keep in mind you must be under 22 the year you enter the academy, therefore under 21 the year you would enter the prep school if that was the case.
If you're serious about this, start by taking the SAT/ACT if you have not, and remember you will need the support of your chain of command. Completion of college classes would be a plus as well. As someone who recently went through this process, I may be able to answer any more specific questions you have.
