    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    I actually do not have any social media accounts, aside from a Facebook account I set up a few months ago to have better access to Service Academy news. I do not post or comment on anything and have only "friended" a few classmates.

    Reapplying for Class of 2020, what to/not to do?

    As a Freshman I sat my parents down and told them I wanted to enlist; I had always felt a connection to service and feel that I belong in that community. My parents introduced me to USNA - I understand that it is not free considering what I would be required to give up to become a graduate of...

    Reapplying for Class of 2020, what to/not to do?

    I'm writing this with a TWE in my hand, and I think I'm still in shock; everything will likely start to sink in tomorrow. I received a principal nomination from my Congressman, scored a 680 Verbal, 790 Reading, and 630 Math on my SAT, and a 34 Writing, 27 Science, and 27 Math on my ACT. I took...

At the time, however, I chose to reach out to the Admissions Office for advice on the parts of my application that didn't appear to directly involve my BGO, for example: the CFA. The only reason I know my...

    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    Thank you for all your comments. I understand that the Admissions Board evaluates applicants with a holistic approach, and yet it is still unnerving to see that a small part of my application has been changed to a status that may "deduct points", so to speak. In response to the question of...

    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    Well, that certainly is somewhat of a relief, though I'm still apprehensive as to how much weight the admissions board will choose to give his second submission.

    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    I called my BGO earlier this week because I was curious about my application and if he had any information on it's status to date. He told me that he changed his recommendation, originally submitted in early October with (I think) a good impression, to not recommended in early January because he...

    BGO changed status from recommended to not recommended...?

    Does anyone know how/why the status from your BGO interview might be changed? My BGO said he changed the overall position of my interview from recommended to not recommended, but it's somewhat ambiguous as to how that affects my application. Has this happened to anyone before, and what were its...
