I am a 4/C MIDN right now with interest in SPECWAR. What they have told us is that mini BUD/S takes the place of 1/C cruise. My mentor, who is 2/C just went to the screener at the Academy, that is not necessary for NROTC MIDN to do, it's more for the Academy guys because the evals decide whether...

I was awarded the NROTC scholarship to Duke, but I was denied acceptance, I had contacted admissions to let them know before they made their decision, but they still said no. I was accepted to Virginia Tech, which was in my list of five, and requested a transfer there last Wednesday. I have yet...

I am not a Virginia resident, I live in Maryland. I will definitely look up the test taking strategies, I really like math so I don't understand why my score was so low, perhaps it is a mental thing as suggested. Thank you guys for all of the great responses as well, I really do appreciate it...

My colleges are Duke, UVA, VT, Cornell and Boston University in that order. I will be taking the SAT again and also the ACT. As far as class rank, I am 17 out of 376. Do they consider the ASVAB at all? I just got those scores back.

Thank you very much. My intended major is mechanical engineering. I have gotten an A in all of my math classes, so I don't understand why my SAT score is so low. Hopefully I will get an appointment to the USNA or the NROTC scholarship, it'd be nice to have all of the handwork pay off.

Thank you! The AP classes I'm taking are, Calculus, European History, Biology, Environmental Science, Language and Composition, Chemistry and independent study Physics C. Last year I took AP Physcis B, AP Spanish and AP World History.

My SAT scores were 610 for math and 660 for verbal, which are okay but not great by any means. I have played soccer in high school for four years, I was captain of the JV team. I am Vice President of the National Honor Society, last year I served as Parliamentarian, I did an internship at an...

Thank you guys very much. You're all correct there is no reason I have to have it. I'll just wait until I know if I've even gotten into the USNA to decide if I will get the tattoo.

I had my DoDMERB physical today and currently have no tattoos. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo that would not be visible in PT gear and would not be related to race, religion, etc. Would that be allowed as long as I sent pictures to the Naval Academy? Or since I have already had my...
