Thanks. I need to have my nomination applications in by September. My medical stuff isn't disqualifying, but I had a surgery that kept me from working out, and I'm out of shape now compared to usna standards. I can definitely get back to where I need to be, but around when is the physical...

I'm a graduating senior and am planning on attending a decent state school for engineering and premed in the fall. I actually planned on going to USNA for years, but circumstances (medical and otherwise) came up late junior year to where I couldn't attend. Now I'm beginning to think that maybe I...

I remember seeing a table of the average or minimum CFA stats, but I can't find it. I know that they post the maximums on the USNA website, but I would like to see the score sheet (failure, satisfactory, good, etc.). Does anyone know where I might find this? (For females, by the way). Thanks in...

I'm a homeschooler. Actually, I did dual enrollment, but school policy was against recommendations for "untraditional" students. I was informed to just send in non-teacher recommendations. But I was wondering if USNA would get upset if I sent in a coach's letter in place of a math teachers. Best...

I've looked everywhere for the average ACT score for USNA, and I can't seem to find one. Does anyone have any clue? Or willing to share their stats?

So I've been a home schooled member of a local school's varsity volleyball team for the last two years. I'm taking classes at my local CC, and my class schedule doesn't look like it will permit me to do vball next year as a senior. I'm already doing running on my own and also doing laps a bunch...

So this coming week, I'm having a minor cosmetic surgery to get a birthmark removed from the back of my neck. It's fairly large, and my dermatologist said that having it increased my chances of skin cancer and further problems down the road. Being a former Navy doctor himself, he advised me to...

I have heard some stuff about a certain number of NROTC kids can go directly into medical school after getting their undergraduate degree. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm applying for USNA, but would be interested in NROTC if I could apply to medical school afterward. Of course, I...

Yeah, I thought about that too. But again, the camp that I would be interested in (volleyball) is during my math class.

I'm taking a math class this summer at my local CC and doing summer training with my vball team during the dates for the USNA summer seminars. Both the head of the math department and my coach said I can not skip a week, regardless of the situation. It stinks, but I feel that there's nothing I...

I'm a junior, and I'm signed up to take my first ACT in early June. The applications for nominations and USNA opens in spring, and the deadline for noms is September. Will I be okay with waiting to get my ACT scores and not applying until late July/early August? Or should I just put in my...

So I've been taken latin for the past three years. I thought that I had the language requirement covered for USNA, but then I saw this bit of info on the homeschooler sheet: "Foreign Language: At least two years. Course work should include regular use of the spoken language and encompass...

Aerospace engineering is what I'm planning. How difficult was it?

I'm a homeschooled junior, and I'm taking the ACT for the first time probably on June 9th. I'm hoping to go to one of the very competitve schools, Embry Riddle. I've been told that for ERAU I need to have my application completed before the first selection board meets. If I take the ACT in June...

So I have a few questions regarding the application for the application for NROTC. I am a high school junior, when should I begin the application process? Do I have to meet with a recruiter before I begin the process? Also, I am signed up for the ACT in the summer, but have not yet taken it...
