According to Kirk, he dreamed of attending the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, but his application was rejected. According to The New Yorker, Kirk said "the slot he considered his went to 'a far less-qualified candidate of a different gender and a different persuasion' whose test scores he claimed he knew. Kirk later said he was being sarcastic when he made the comment.." Kirk took general education classes at Harper College, a local community college, and founded Turning Point USA.
