I went to NASS this past summer and it was great! In the application, you select the sessions you are able to go. Your admissions chances will not be affected by the week you choose or the number of weeks you are available for. My advice would definitely be to take your exams beforehand. If you...

Thank you so much for all of your answers. This was really helpful.

Thanks for your answers! Craig, do you know how many candidates typically make it into the national pool and how many get SECNAV nominations?

Hi everyone, Anxious class of '19 hopeful here... Nobody told me that the single hardest part of the application is the wait!:frown: I have one question about nominations. In my congresswoman's brochure for service academies, she lists the candidates from her district currently attending...

Thank you, usna1985. I live in Florida so I'm sure there is a very large number of applications...

Hi all, I was notified a few weeks ago that I have an interview with a board representing one of my senators. I never heard back from my other senator, however, and his notifications began last Friday, or at least that's what his website indicates. So now I am wondering if it is only possible...

Thanks for the responses! Sea Trials training sounds really cool. I can't wait!

CVW Coming Up Hey guys, 2 questions: 1.Did anyone who will be attending the April CVW get anything after the email confirmation? I am surprised that there were no forms to fill out or releases to sign. 2. Are drags allowed to participate in PT during their visits to the Academy? I've...

I'm going to the CVW in April this year!:smile:

NavyHoops, thank you, that was very helpful. It doesn't seem quite as restricted as I imagined before.

Thanks again for the lengthy responses :smile: Nuensis, what I mean by choices is the freedom to use my own time how I want to use it, as someone attending a regular college would. I'm not sure how much I would enjoy being told when I have to study, when I have to eat, when I have to attend a...

Thank you all for your responses. Hopefully, after visiting USNA, my best path toward becoming an officer will become clearer to me.
