I was a nwp free agent as well and just to elaborate on what frisbforce said, even if I wasn't going to usna next year (yes I was one of the few that didn't want usafa), I would have still valued my time at nwp. So don't think of it as a waste of time and money if you don't get into an academy...

Is it jace? I was thinking that but I couldn't tell because of the name. and why djsanguine? Is that your raver name or something?

Well I took the courses at NWP (not necessarily sure if those are what USNA sees as plebe courses) and I had straight A's. Do you know what the minimum requirements would be? I was do confident that I was scholastically qualified (I had a 3.7 GPA in high school and a math SAT of 680) but all...

I don't think this is the case for me because this is my second time applying and I have been medically qualified for two years. All I had to do this year was fill out a form that said I wasstill in good medical condition. Could USNA be waiting to receive my 2nd semester midterm grades to...

I just called admissions and they told me they do have me down as a principal nomination.

Everything is turned in and dodmerb is up to date. And my congresswoman did notify my that I am her principal nominee. I called admissions and they either said my file hasn't been reviewed yet or they just haven't made a decision; I couldn't tell because they seemed to be trying to tell me as...

I was triple qualified last year and my scores and grades have only gotten better, so I don't see how I wouldn't be triple qualified this year.

So back in February I received a principal nom form my congresswoman and I was like, "Sweet this means guaranteed admission." But now its the beginning of April and I still haven't heard anything and now I'm really starting to worry and stress out as more time goes by. Does anyone know why I...

I am a self prep and I would answer that with a "no." there are no guarantees that if you meet certain requirements for foundation students you will be accepted. The only guarantee for self preps is that there is no guarantee. At prep school I, along with all the other self preps, were told that...

look in the foundation to usna thread. this question is answered already

What do you mean when you say college grades overtake senior grades? Do they not even look at senior grades if an applicant is in college?

I wouldn't say the manner is very timely. I have a principal nom and am still waiting...

You are getting foundation mixed up with naps. Many of my fellow classmates (I went to a prep school) that were on navy foundation were not athletes and were 3q'd when applying last year. That being said, some of them were recruited athletes but certainly not all. From what I've heard, naps is...

Brian I'm from torrance too! and I'm also still waiting.

Sorry I mis-read your question. The simple answer is "yes." this is because a vice presidential nom works differently than a congressional/senatorial nom. The vice president doesn't choose who he nominates. in fact, he doesn't have anything to do with the process. what happens is his staff...
