bfrat,
Sorry I made an error, but with 7 pages of posts, things get muddled. I assumed, and we all know what that means you were not USNA related since you knew it was ALO, but stated B&G, not BGO.
Knowing that info, I am curious on a different front. How did you convince the Army you were positive about them when you were applying for USNA.
I am not being antagonistic. It is important for posters and lurkers to learn why/how others walked that path. Our DS was AF, AF only, he didn't want to be on a boat or a tank.
I can get it if USNA sent the TWE, and NROTC did too, AROTC awarding a scholarship. However, did you go AROTC over NROTC because of the school, the scholarship, or career opportunities?
* understanding that you could go for a side load NROTC scholarship, yet no guarantee, and dis-enrollment from NROTC 2 yrs later.
matas,
haz has a point. As I stated before NAPS is unique, you cannot apply for it, USNA makes the determination. Many candidates think that if USNA offers 1300 apptmts. # 1301-1400 regarding WCS on the NWL will be offered NAPS. Nothing can be further from the truth.
NAPs is typically for the candidate that academically needs 1 more yr for an appointment to USNA. They have everything else the academy wants, but they are worried as a plebe, that academically they are not on par. A 33 ACT/1450 SAT, 3.6 cgpa with 9 APs, won't be offered NAPs. Caveat: unless they are a recruited FB player
The 28 ACT, 1250 SAT, 3.6 cgpa and 5 APs has a better chance for NAPs.
Hence why I stated some are offered NAPS, USNA or nothing at all.
