Thanks for clearing that up. Haha, are there kids that think they can just do bad the entire year and go to summer school to make it up? Thanks again.

So, if someone fails AP/Honors and retakes the regular class over the summer and gets a 99%, does that help them a lot? Or is that just expected of every applicant (doing really well in summer school)?

Well, 5 years ago the girl that was first in her class fresh-junior year and a minority was accepted to USNA. Last year my friend who was top 10% and a very athletic minority was accepted to NAPS. They both got 31 on the ACT. My grades are a lot better than his, but I'm not a minority and I'm...

So, CVW close to deadline=good? Or can someone correct me?

Well, that's clever. I know how to not get selected: don't be too smart. Right? Haha, that was a joke. However, how doesn't someone not get put into something they don't want? Put Special Warfare and things you won't get for sure after your first choice? I think I've heard that before.

What if I never get any tickets? I doubt that would have a big effect, but.... I could be extremely careful, haha.

That was sarcasm. I am a very sarcastic person, and I think it's appropriate to be sarcastic on an online forum (as long as I don't offend anyone). Now if I was talking to a MOC/BGO, it wouldn't be the best idea. Especially since I am so good at being sarcastic that people think: does he really...

That's one way to look at it. At some interview, I will probably say "well, I won't steal 400 textbooks at the academy..." that would be funny, right? That's a lot of time to serve AD, and it was a 1/C. wow

400 books. If, when I'm a junior, and I apply and get a TWE I will think: a book thief got in, but not me. That is really surprising... 400 books... wow

Can anyone give examples of areas with a geographical advantage?

Well, it seems that everyone here did XC and not track? I'm doing long distance track and will do XC next season (+conditioning). We have athletes that get shin splits, but they don't really take a break/etc. Is it a lot less common to get shin splits from long distance track? Or do most...

Yes, OP can mean Original Poster, but it can also mean Original Post. Just chiming in. :p

Navy, because landing on an aircraft carrier is cooler than landing on the ground. It takes more skill :p I'm sure some Navy pilots can back that up? ;)

Also, I just wanted to say, if you know a mid at NAPS who will be a plebe next year, he can hook you up with a mattress. CVW should be more fun since I went to school with the plebe I will shadow.

To the letter, got it. I think I will ask my counselor when is the soonest I can know my teachers for next year, to know who to impress if I see them before the next school year, haha. Thanks for all the help.
