`我即将去军校` is grammatically correct, but `即将` sounds too formal. Try this:

> 我很快就要去军校了。 I soon will go-to military-school le.

Notice that I used `了` which marks the end of what I am saying. Otherwise a listener may expect that you have something more to say. There are subtle uses of `了` that may take pages to explain.

If you want a formal form, `我即将去军校了` is perfectly fine.

`我下星期里去军校` is understandable. `Within` is kind of a formal preposition word in English. In Chinese you may want to say:

> 我要在下星期内去军校。 I will at next week within go-to military-school.

`在...(以)内` is more idiomatic.

`我比及读完去军校` -- `比及` is an archaic word that is no longer in use. `study` is `学习`; It can be `读` sometimes, but the context is missing. Anyway:
