Hello!
Well, here I am again freaking out over the application process and this place seemed like the appropriate place to get ideas, tips and advice...and to vent
So here is what I am freaking out over:
1) some of my teachers have submitted SOEs for USNA but not for USMA. I emailed them but since its the summer, getting responses from them will take awhile. Will not getting SOEs by August affect my chances of getting an LOA or slow me down for the application process significantly?
2) I received my AP scores today (4 and 5) and I contacted my AP teachers because my APUSH teacher told me that he would do his best to submit my grade bump in by August. My other AP teacher has not responded yet. Unless they submit my grade bumps, my cumulative GPA (3.2) will not go up.
3) I received my DoDMERB a few days ago (as mentioned in my previous post). I filled everything out and now have to sign up for appointments. Is there a due date to sign up for appointments? I am just worried because I have a few swim meets this week and I am currently sort of sick.
4) I am writing my statements for USNA/USMA but fear that my statements are not "unique" or "good enough". What do the Academy's look at when reading the statements?
basically, I am afraid that I am "behind" in the application process. Please bare with me and my immature behavior of overreacting.
Sincerely,
