    Class Ranking?

    It sounds like this is not something you can change... Best not to worry about it... try to make the other parts of your application the best that you can

    2020 Memorial Boxes

    The class of 2021 is offering customized memorial boxes for our 1/C Midshipmen. Each box is being hand-made for the specific midshipman with a Merchant Marine logo and a customized nameplate. These will be available for order until 10 May. https://tinyurl.com/shadowbox2020

    Nomination Question

    Normally takes a while... between the Congressman / woman's office sending the nomination over and the school processing it, there is potential for quite a delay. Don't be afraid to call the admissions department and ask if they have received it!

    Chance of admission?

    I'm KP 2021... Didn't play sports and your SAT is about where mine was. One thing that would greatly benefit your application is showing leadership positions in all of your activities (president, section leader, treasurer, drum major, small group leader, ETC...). Don't take Mr.2020's advice too...

    Midshipman 1/C Sam Monella 2020

    Campus is on alert for a few days. Extra ambulance on campus in case anyone comes down with anything. Crystal Enterprises will be leaving the school in late January to be replaced by another food service provider (unrelated to the incident today).

    Word to the Wise

    You must get it done and signed off on by an approved source. Call admissions to be sure, but it definitely has to be someone in the medical field (not sure of required qualifications). As for the OP, she is correct... they are getting stricter on BCA's and PRT's. I've unfortunately seen 4 of my...

    Denial

    I was on hold until May. Stay strong. I know the wait is terrible - I've been there. Best of luck!

    Watch

    Current mid here... you want something strong and reliable. A digital G-shock is always a good go to. Watches take a beating while out at sea. Choose something you dont mind getting wet, dirty, oily, scratched, or dropped.

    USMMA - A split vs B split

    ^^^ Good point Mr. 2020... Quite a few people get behind on sea projects. To answer the OP, all swim / dive members are given priority B-Split status over non-athletic midshipmen.

    USMMA - Choosing a major?

    Lots of opinions on here, so I'll keep it short. Your DS will not need to decide on a major until after 1st trimester. All plebes take both engine and deck courses during that time. He will be able to decide then by experiencing the classes and talking to midshipman. He shouldn't worry about it...

    Computer

    Although costly, buying the computer from the NEX has its benefits... it can be fixed by DOIT for free (had my screen replaced), and imaging/re-imaging goes smoother on school-issued machines. In all fairness, they are nice laptops.
