is it possible whatsoever that if I were to turn in my application right now online i could still be looked at? Possibly in combination with calling and begging...?

I am 21 years old, will be 22 in September and have already completed a year of college, after working for one year out of high school. Am I already considered 'old' as compared to the majority of other plebes? Also, would USNA try to house me with other plebes my age or is it based on something...

Its nice to see that I am not the only one attacking the mail man before he even gets to the box lol. I too am triple Q'd with a nom, nearly maxed out my CFA and im almost on a first name basis with the admissions guidance office but still no word. I might contact my regional director but i'm...

Thank you WouldBePlebe, its nice to have a story to relate to. I need something to hinge on to, this whole stalking the mail man thing isn't working for me. But having said that, I wonder if its possible for answers given to actually provide more insight to the person you are (in the eyes of...

Lets say one has been sent to the Character Review Committee...A) If a thumbs up is given to continue to the Admissions Board, will one be notified of this? B)Is it possibly beneficial to go before the committee if ones reasons for being sent are such that they have actually made the person who...

So after doing some research on this matter, it seems as though there is no quantifiable answer. Though I find this issue hard to believe, it does seem as though the pendulum sways more towards USMMA when it comes to precentages. Though the odds seem greater to get it in, is not to say that one...

Thank you Kp2001 and Problem? for your response. For Problem? how would/could KP provide for more flight slots than the Navy? And for Kp2001, it seems to me as though if KP is training one primarily for the purpose of becoming a Merchant Marine Officer, how does one seperate themselves to become...

I have received a nomination for both the USMMA as well as USNA. Both are obviously highly sea-fairing entities, which is my main draw to both of them. However, my dream of becoming a pilot for either lies in the decision that I make now. I could be wrong, but it seems as though the USNA is a...

It seems as though there is only so much prepping one can do for the interview; Nails clipped, hair done, well rested, proper attire, proper attitude as well as, of course, research on the USNA and exactly what it is you want out of it. After that, the interview seems to revolve around the...

Thank you for your advice, thats kind of what i feel too. What, then, is the best way to stay in touch? If i dont have any questions but still want to let him know my intent and motivation, what is the best way to approach it? Man, it seems like I am over-thinking this but yet it really does...

USNAHopeful2015, that is the exact way i felt. This, too, was compounded by the fact that I had proven him wrong about his role in administering the CFA(which he was not aware he could administer). I literally had to quote the webite. Also, when we spoke on the phone he was very short and did...

Thank you USNA1985 for your helpful response. I have literally lost sleep over this very subject. It is just difficult for me to grasp that a BGO's role is so subjective, in comparison to all other aspects of the application process. The USNA is what my entire life has been building towards and...

Interview Woes Mostly for USNA1985...I have finished my entire application including, of course, my BGO interview. The latter is the topic of my woes. Im not sure how most interviews go but I feel as though mine was not "out of the ball park." I have done about five interviews with employers...
