So at the following link: http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Steps-for-Admission/index.php under "Selection and Deadlines" it says approximately 2,000 out of the 18,000 candidates are found triple qualified and nominated each year. Now, of that number, about 1,400 candidates actually receive the...

The seal in front of Tecumseh. If you step on it. You won't graduate... Then there's bets that the upper classmen will make with the plebes. I heard one where if you lose the bet, you have the honor of polishing the goat's balls across from the gift store.

Does a NAPS or foundation offer come in a TWE or a BFE?

presidential nominations and BFE With regards to the BFE`s that are currently going out under the presidential nomination, is it safe to say that if a candidate does not receive an appointment fairly soon, who has a presidential nomination and a 100% completed application, then they have likely...

Rolling Admissions? I was under the impression that "rolling admissions" meant that even if a candidate is considered currently unqualified (perhaps test scores??), they have until Jan. 31 to keep updating their application...meaning, continue to take the SAT/ACT? Am I mistaken? Would they...

I need to bring my math score up and I also want his nomination. I already have the Presidential nom. What should I do? :confused:

Benefit of CVW Great Question, would like to know as well. Also, does anyone know if it helps a candidate to attend CVW in terms of admissions? Especially if one has already attended NASS? Parents are trying to determine the cost benefit of another plane ticket. :confused:

Could a TWE also be a LOA? What does a LOA look like?

"She is a recruited athlete. She does have good ACT, class standing, leadership, rec letters from math and English teacher, gpa, community service, etc." Do you mind sharing what her composite ACT score was? Specifically in math and English?

I read somewhere on this forum that there is a small window between not being competitive enough for direct admission but over qualified for NAPS or foundation so candidates slip into the TWE (thin white envelope) category. Can anyone elaborate on this? Is NAPS not intended for the small...

I heard that LOA's only go to candidates whose applications are not at 100% (waiting on nomination and or DoDmerb) but are found triple qualified, otherwise. My application is at 100% complete (including CFA, Presidential Nom and DoDmerb). Am I a candidate for a LOA or is that reserved for...

Soon, I will be interviewed via Skype by a Naval officer from Tulane. Due to the context of the interview, what kind of questions can I expect? Obviously, I'll be wearing a nice shirt and pants. Any help for this interview is desired. Thank you in advance.

Could anybody offer a decent opinion of the NROTC cross- town program between Florida State University (FSU) and Florida A&M Univ. (FAMU)? I'm hoping to go to FSU and do ROTC if USNA doesn't work out. Since I'm determined to go Navy, I'd like to know more about the quality of the NROTC unit...

Yes I am aware of that aspect. However, it is still possible for somebody to not be found triple qualified and still receive that nomination. The class of '18 profile reflects that >800 pres nominations were handed out. My question is how much of that figure was eliminated due to not being fully...

Would anybody have historic data on the number of Presidential Nominees that are found triple qualified? Icing on the cake would be the number of those presidential nominees, found triple Q'd, who receive appointments! Thanks
