    Waitlist & Other Possibilities

    Mmm, I didn't know that. Thank-you for that information. I will make sure to worry less about my gpa and more about how tough my classes are. (I know this thread isn't about me) so I'll just say that I've been taking a tough enough schedule that I can still get all A's (I've made sure the...

    Waitlist & Other Possibilities

    Even though I am only a sophomore and have yet to apply to the Naval Academy, I would guess from looking at your stats that your GPA wasn't strong enough as the first big deductor and the other deductor was that you did not have enough leadership. The leadership is speculation because I'm not...

    My Introduction

    Well, I asked my BGO on the whole mission and what to do (he is also LDS) and this is what he said, "My recommendation is to go ahead and attend the Naval Academy as soon as possible and then take a leave of absence for the mission." So I believe that is what I'll do. He also gave me the email...

    My Introduction

    Also, I just remembered. I am planning on applying to all of the academies, of course my first choice of college is USNA obviously, but it's good to make sure to keep the options open. I was wondering though on what are the best colleges that NROTC is at? I was looking at some of them like...

    My Introduction

    Yes, the mission. I am planning on serving a mission for the LDS church. It has been one of my big goals next to getting into USNA since I was little. On the website like someone previously mentioned, they allow you to leave after your second year to do that if you choose to. Then you'll be...

    My Introduction

    Oh I see. I guess I didn't fully understand the help that would give, but I totally understand it now. I think I will stay with Spanish then. Thank-you for that solid advice Profmom2 and DMeix. There's a lot of wisdom in what you're saying, and I will probably go with that. Aeroman

    My Introduction

    Again, thank-you all for the comments. Yes, I see what you're saying about the languages. That will be a tough decision. I don't want to continue with spanish just because I feel I've learned all I can from the program at my high school. It's a good program but I would like to learn some...

    Which Branch?

    I personally would recommend what Just A Mom has been recommending. Go straight to the foreign service. That's just as much serving your country as being in the armed forces, but obviously there are major differences in how they serve. Now, if she truly wants to have a military career...

    My Introduction

    Here's what I'm planning for Senior year too... I figured I might as well post both years. If you have any advice or if it dosn't look competent enough just say so. I'm trying to make my schedules challenging but not so challenging that I barely have time. I do afterall have sports and other...

    My Introduction

    Just A Mom, Thank-you for your comments. Yes, I am taking a few honors classes this year. I am in Pre-Calculus Honors currently and so I will be taking AP BC Calculus next year and AP Statistics my senior year. I have not taken honors in science though. So I should probably beef that up...

    My Introduction

    Peskemom, Thank-you so much for your quick response! In answer to your questions, no I had not contacted them yet, but I took your advice and immediately went to their sites and read the info on their academy nominations. After that, I sent a personal e-mail to each, introducing myself and...

    My Introduction

    Hi Everyone, I thought I would introduce myself since I just became a member of this great forum. I'm a sixteen-year old sophomore from Utah and am hoping to get into the United States Naval Academy. So far, I have a straight 4.0, have been actively involved with sports with 10 years of...
