I am technically a fourth class midshipman in ROTC, but the sentiment remains. I'll look into changing it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

^ yeah I am super concerned about the validation exams! I am a college reapplicant, and I want to validate as much as possible, but I am concerned that I won't be able to pass the tests under the stress of plebe summer. Can anyone comment on the difficulty of the exams/ how frequently plebes...

hi, I can definitely speak to my experience. As you may have guessed, I am a midshipman in the Naval ROTC program at my school. I am going to a tech school and doing ROTC and choir, so my life is a little hectic, but that's just how I like it. It wasn't too bad balancing the re-app process and...

I got rejected my first time, and it sucks for about 3 weeks, but then it gets better. I fully love my plan B school, and am even thankful I did not initially get into the Academy. It was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to have a year of college to develop morally, mentally and...

stay strong! The wait is rough, but it is easier if you just don't think about it. You will hear one way or another before April. As a second-time reapplicant, I can also say that even if it doesn't work out the first time, things will be okay.

Hi! I am also a reapplicant. I met with the dean of admissions over the summer and he said that 80% of your package as a reapplicant is your first semester grades. I'd say you're looking pretty good, but no guarantee's, obviously. I wish you the best of luck!!

Hi! I am currently in ROTC. I applied to USNA and ROTC last year and didn't get either. I was, however, able to participate in the college program at my current ROTC unit. College program is basically the same thing as scholarship ROTC, except you don't get paid. Coming into college, I didn't...

congrats @oh_yeah! that's good to know, thank you

Hello! I am a freshman @ Worcester Polytechnic Institute in MA. I am also in the NROTC program. Just curious if any other re-applicants have heard back yet. I spoke with admissions and they said that they do not review re-applicant packages until January, but i wasn't sure if they started...
