    Emailing the USNA Track coach?

    Definitely contact the coaches! My DD was not a recruited athlete for xc/track but was contacted by the coach once she cleared DodMerb. We went to watch her CVW host at a meet nearby, and she met the coaches and some of the team members. Now we have all been invited to a track meet and greet...

    Permit to Report

    DD received hers yesterday (4/07) as well. It is in a large Manila envelope that barely fit in the mailbox.

    Class of 2018 mom and dad facebook page

    Your local parents club may also have a fb page. On the Maryland Parents Club page is a picture from last year's plebe picnic that they hosted a few weeks before I Day.

    Class of 2018 mom and dad facebook page

    You need to ask to administrator to join the group, not the "join group" button. The administrator's email address is usnaparentcommunity@gmail.com. He signed us up within a few minutes. The incoming plebes have 2 fb pages, one "official" and one that is private, but with the administrator's...

    CVW

    My DD needed a bathing suit at CVW in January because track ended up holding practice in the pool. Pillow and sleeping bag are also helpful as well as snacks for your plebe and roommates. It has not been warm here very much, especially at night, and you will probably walk a lot. Most...

    Letter from admissions

    My DD received the same letter from DODMERB in February. She took it as a great sign because it was the last piece of her application and the hardest to get through since she received her LOA last October. She had her BFE in hand two weeks later. We don't know where you are in the process, but...

    Classes

    My DD dropped Chinese after her Sophomore year, which was also her fourth year of taking it. I think you should try to take classes you are really interested in and not just what will look good on your résumé. You are going to need time for sports, service and leadership too. As I replied...

    Classes

    AP classes Good for you for taking all of those AP classes! I agree with taking AP Calc if possible, but any AP class will help prepare you for the college workload. My DD had a note on her LOA telling her to try to get a good score on the Calc A/B AP test so she could validate it and go on to...

    Parents at I-Day or Parents' Weekend?

    Just as an FYI, Southwest Airlines has not yet opened up their flights past Aug. 8, so once they do, the prices into BWI for Parents Weekend should go down. Coming from Hawaii, you can book one ticket to the West Coast and then another ticket on Southwest to BWI. Sometimes there are non-stops to...

    Candidate visitation weekend

    My DD is not a recruited athlete. After her second invitation, she said she would like to return as long as she did not take anyone else's spot, so that's when she asked to stay with a cross country or track athlete. She received her LOA in October, passed her CFA and received her congressional...

    Candidate visitation weekend

    2 CVWs My DD attended CVW in April as a junior, and again in January as a senior. After she accepted her second invitation, she requested to be placed with a plebe from the track or cross country teams so she could also see and participate in practice. Take advantage of any invitations and your...
