What kind of financial guidance do midshipmen receive at the academy? Do they open up new bank accounts where they can direct deposit pay/withdrawal from checking or savings? (With military banks) Can they transfer money from outside accounts into new ones? Do Mids typically become more...

I have a feeling that the interview itself is not the only thing they are evaluating. I'm no expert, but follow up seems to be very important. Maybe they want to wait and see how you react after the interview, or how you progress. As you know, no one really knows anything for sure, and I could...

That's very helpful. Thank you very much.

Anyone get a CVW invite yet? How do they come? Is there options for certain weekends candidates may attend? If so, does anyone know when? Thanks!

Makes me feel a whole lot better. I thought it was somewhere in the low 500's total (leaving room for atleast one person from each Cong. Dist. And a few more very qualified applicants.) But I guess my assumptions were a bit skewed. Just a tad.

It sounds like we're in the same stage of the waiting game. Curious, has anyone ever told you how many people go to NASS? What's the actual 'class' size of NASS? This is one thing I've never been able to find out.

I'm really curious too. I've never heard that before.

You are only a statistic, if you make yourself one. Best of luck to you, brother.

As I am preparing for the NASS application on Thursday, I am looking at a copy of the app. that I printed out last year. Assuming it will be the same, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the "Remarks or Additional Comments" box, located In the testing and grades section, should be used...

Are there any clubs out there that are just crazy-awesome adventurous? I'm in to that stuff. Like mountain climbing or something?

Thanks everyone, very helpful!
