    And here we go, the roller coaster ride begins. Thanks again everyone.

    Preliminary Application Question

    Yes, I wholeheartedly agree, I merely meant I had no worries about being competitive enough to just become an official candidate, but I can see exactly where you are coming from. This is what I was thinking, so I was just planning on sending in what I've already written and leaving at that, so...

    Preliminary Application Question

    Academic lettering is essentially earning a high enough GPA consistently across all your classes, and you have to be enrolled in core classes to qualify. And yes, I am taking dual enrollment courses at the local community college. And no, the quadcopter is with an after school engineering club.

    Preliminary Application Question

    Thank you, I have decided to use the box to delve into my involvement in JROTC and engineering, to explain how I am reaching for my life goals (Navy/Engineering), through my role as Kitty Hawk commander (AFJROTC's academic honor society) and my multiple development projects outside of school...

    Preliminary Application Question

    So, should I use this space then to explain my academic achievements like NHS, academic lettering, and being the JROTC Academic Student of the year, for example? Or more outside the box, like how I am leading the mechanical aspects of building a quadcopter from scratch?

    Preliminary Application Question

    This is only the preliminary application, so the only things that Admissions are seeing from me from an education standpoint are my education level completed, expected year of graduation, standardized test scores, and class rank. There is no place for a transcript anywhere in the preliminary...

    Preliminary Application Question

    Thank you all, I will start writing out a summary of my academic achievement right away then. I also did do research before posting this to try and ensure that I wasn't reposting a questing, and nothing came up in my search.

    Preliminary Application Question

    First of all, let me say, congratulations to those of you who have received appointments, and I hope those of you still waiting receive some good news soon. Now, since it is April 1st, preliminary applications have opened for those of us who have been unable to apply for NASS, whatever that...

    Boy's state

    Is Boy's State really the important thing, or are admissions more so looking to see that applicants are being productive during their summers? For example, I spend my summer working at a Boy Scout summer camp and will not be able to attend Boy's State, even though I was nominated. Will the lack...

    Election Year

    Hey all, I'll be beginning my application to the academies come the first of April, but looking ahead I have questions about how the nomination process works in election years, since I haven't seen any info on it here. Will I apply for the outgoing Senator's nomination, or the incoming Senator...

    Vasovagal Syncope

    So I am 99.99% certain that I have vasovagal syncope, which is fainting because of a certain trigger, which for me is human anatomy. For example, I have passed out from a video of a real beating human heart, and from an in-depth presentation on abortions, but never from gory images. I've never...

    Rib Thing

    Hello, for the past few years I've noticed that one of my ribs pokes out slightly more than normal. My doctor has said it is completely normal, and it has never caused me any issues. I have not had back pain, scoliosis, flexibility problems, or anything of the sort, it's just that the rib is...

    Free Period - How Bad?

    Most of my classes are upper level, with all of them being AP, IB, concurrent enrollment, or PLTW engineering, except JROTC and astronomy. In regard to the science classes, I am dropping AP Environmental Science in favor of IB Physics and normal astronomy. Also, all my classes are core except...

    Free Period - How Bad?

    So, right now, I am taking a full schedule of 8 upper-level classes at my high school, in addition to a local community college class. Would it be looked upon negatively to remove my third science class to have a free period to manage this course load and all my extracurriculars, and if so, how...
