I am a student at an academy-sponsored preparatory school and I am in the decision of choosing preferences for Senators and my Congressman. When I first came here, I was absolutely set on USNA. After talking to other people here, my perspective has widened about attending USMMA and commissiong...

I have had the same. Would I even be obligated to tell them about it as long as I dont have anything major like surgery done to correct it? When I wear a brace I feel fine. The doc just says my knee was prone for it to happen and now I need to strengthen my quads and muscles on that side to...

and the use of braces to help prevent this again ^^

Does anyone know where I can get a full list of medical disqualifications to the Naval Academy? Particularly involving patellar dislocations...

I was wondering if there was somewhere I could find a complete list of medical disqualifications to USNA.

I have spoke to many students who have went there and some that go there right now. Not one of them have said anything negative about Greystone. Nothing at all. I'm not sure where your getting this information, but these firsthand testimonies I have heard plus the outstandinf statistics of...

So the USNA has beeen my dream for as long as I can remember. Everything I have ever done and worked for has revolved around the academy. This year I finally got to apply. I received my second alternate congressional nomination, senatorial nomination, and I was the only presidential nominee in...

The C's won't help I can tell you that. But your gpa isn't too bad yet, but you need to start focusing on it now to bring it up as much as you can. It also doesn't hurt you as bad cuz ur act is high, but like I said, try to bring it up anyway. One more thing, it is very hard to get into USNA if...

Ok I dont know if you read my posts right, but I never said I wasnt good at math... I said that I wasnt good at math IN 8th GRADE so I got set back. Right now I am taking trigonometry and am sitting at a 98%. Im not bad at math. I was just explaining how my school works and why I havent taken...

I was you once about 4 years ago dude and I know how you feel. Right now I am actually waiting to hear back from the academy and it is my dream as well since as long as I can remember. Some pieces of advice I have for you are these: Start taking the ACT's or SAT's now early. Even if your score...

I hope they look into it with an open mind of some sort, because my school offers ap calculus but I could not take it. They make you take our math classes in order algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, trig, then calc. The only way to be able to take calc is to have take algebra 1 in 8th grade and for...

I have an alternate congressional nom, senatorial nom, and presidential nom, I know I'm physically and medically qualified but haven't heard about scholastically though I assume I am? I also have mediocre act scores (upper 20's with math at 24 cuz I go to a small school where I am just now...

Oh i see, thats tough dude, but naps is still great
