I applied for the NASS without an ACT, a PSAT, or a SAT score. Do I still have a chance of being accepted?
I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but it does seem from everything I have read that they place quite a bit of weight on scores for appointments, so it seems they would be looking at them for NASS as well. Are you planning to take the SAT or ACT soon?
Amen.More importantly, did you submit your PLAN scores with your NASS application? If not I recommend you contact the Regional Director and report your scores to be added to your application.
I really don't understand why there are so many prospects who seem to go out of their way to handicap themselves by not taking or retaking exams, etc, then wonder why they don't get an offer to NASS, or an appointment. Regardless of the flail about the actual number of applications, etc, the fact is that the selection process is very rigorous and competitive. It is the candidate's job to do his/her best to become the most competitive candidate possible!
On a separate note, let me restate my NASS mantra: some highly qualified prospects will not get offers for various reasons not related to their qualifications. The nature of the NASS selection process has been discussed on this site on many occasions.
The prospect's objective should be to get an inside look at NAVY. That being said, I strongly recommend that prospects go to <www.navysports.com> and check out the sports camps that are available.
If you haven't taken the PSAT, it should not count against you. My son was unable to take it because he was Captain of the football team and they had a game that day. He was still accepted to NASS and is now a plebe!
