cgarc2473, I am currently a college student. USMC8 USNA Class of 2017 Appointee

If I were you I would try to find one, maybe two of the Academies that you really really want. IMHO it is too risky to differentiate amongst your rankings. I have heard of candidates doing that and not getting nominations to their top choice just because they thought it wise to rank the...

Does not really increase your chances per say, but having more than one nomination simply pools you with a different slate of candidates to compete with. So in a sense, I don't believe one nomination has anything to do with the others, but rather they are all separate and it really doesn't...

Being a qualified candidate means you are Triple Qualified in three main areas determined by various factors. The three areas are Medically (cleared by Dodmerb), physically/athletically (determined by successful completion and passing on your CFA) and scholastically (determined by admissions...

Don't stress yourself out about the things you no longer control. Your class rank is what it is and I am sure (although limited knowledge) that candidates have been appointed with lesser stats. Also, as said numerous times on this forum, the admissions ranks candidates as a whole person...

Hey Ken2012 i apologize i am actually from MA-01 not 02. So you are absolutely correct. I did receive principal nomination. Best of luck to you I would be honored to be a classmate of yours. P.S. I noticed you wrote ROTC MS1 at the bottom of your post. I too am a scholarship MS1 member of the...

Wow I stand corrected I apologize!! I am from MA-01. Last year I was district MA-02 and on my CIS online file it says MA-02. Sorry about that. Thanks for the clarification.

No. McGovern is not MA-02.

I applied and completed all applications to all five service academies. I received congressional nominations to all 4 academies that require a nomination, (USMA, USAFA, USMMA and USNA) and I received senatorial nominations to USMA, USNA and USMMA. I received my LOA from USAFA before...

Received nominations from Congressman Neal and Senator Brown, recently received appointment to USNA this week. District MA-02. Congressman Neal does make a principal nomination slate in case anyone was wondering. USMC8 USNA 2017 Appointee

I have an almost identical story to the one above. I was a recruited athlete last year to Navy (Soccer), but in the end I chose not to follow through and therefore did not receive an appointment. I instead attended a 4-year private college, excelled in plebe-like courses (Chemistry, Calculus...

I told USNA that I was a recipient of an Army ROTC scholarship and am in fact in College now as a contracted cadet. They viewed it very positively and I believe it shows true dedication to wanting to serve regardless of the path you take and wanting to become the best officer you can. Whether...

congrats!!
