    USNA Newbie mom- have some questions

    Thank you so much for all of your replies! I will definitely use your wise advice! Has anyone ever stayed at the Homestead suites? It says it is about 2.5 miles from the academy, not sure if they have a shuttle or not. If not, does anyone know if there is parking available around the...

    My son received his LOA- likelihood of nomination?

    Thanks all! So, if I'm deciphering things correctly, as long as my son is on that list of 10 then that means he will get the nomination, correct? I am hoping with the LOA and the fact that our district is under-represented, that will help matters a bit. His first MOC interview is December 5th-...

    I'm Competing for an Appointment from within my Nomination Sources?

    Okay- one more questions for you "experts" out there- how does the nomination process then work if you have received an LOA? Am I correct in thinking that you no longer need to be your MOC's principal nominee, but just need to be somewhere on that list of 10? Could someone please clarify?

    ACT Scores

    My son had a 26 composite, but his highest math and english scores were both 28, which is what usna is looking at. He got his LOA last week- BUT always remember they are looking at the total package!

    LOA's, Triple Q, etc question

    My son received his LOA from USNA last week. It came in a thin white envelope and didn't seem significant at all. I think triple Q just means scholastically, medically, and physical qualified (academics, passed dodmerb, and passed CFA). From what I understand, only about 10% of those who...

    Physics and Calc

    I definitely would rec'd taking the calc if you can. My son took regular physics (not AP) last year and he has been in the honor track for math all 4 years- received his first "C" last year in Honors pre-calc. His admissions officer from USNA called him a couple of months ago and told him that...

    Math Teacher Reccomendation

    Hi Minichan- we had some of the same issues with my son and his English teacher rec- we just stayed in constant contact (but in a nice way), then eventually printed the evaluation out from the website and had her complete it that way, then faxed it directly to the academy admissions office. It...

    My son received his LOA- likelihood of nomination?

    My son received his LOA from the USNA yesterday. He has completed all application requirements except for the nomination. We are beyond thrilled! We live in Illinois and have sent application packets this summer to the 3 MOC's but they will not be making decisions/doing interviews until later...
