Sorry for the thumbs down icon, It looked like a question mark symbol last night

Hello all again, I've applied through this process two times and this would be my third time. I am now am entering my sophmore year of college. I figured there is no hurt in trying a third time and now considering that I have done this two times before the process should go a lot smoother and...

Has anyone here recieve a BFE from Illinois yet? Im a 2nd time applicant and it seems like this wait is worse than the first time :/

This is my second time waiting for a BFE so hopefully i get one early! Last year I got my twe on april 15th. What im doing now to cope with the anxiety is setting a set time that I go to the mailbox each day to check the mail, if there is no news, in my mind that is sort of good news, and I go...

Same situation as well for me here in illinois, but you deffinatly should finish your semester, because the Academy will want to see your 2nd semester transcript as wel

The Academy starts sending letters out from Jan 31- April 15th, the majority recieve letters in feb and march, but still a few recieve thru april 15 and up until around june 15th. - I have no input on your suspension situation

http://www.usna.edu/Admissions/cfainstructions.htm Says best score for pushups is 75 for males, 50 for females

Im a male and this is my 2nd year applying and my fitness scores this year were 10 times better due to hard work and sweat over the year, but last year when i first applied, my scores were god awful but somehow i still passed. Last year scores resulted in pass Situps-72 Pushups- 47...

What does Ds mean? I know that you guys are talking about your son/daughter

My BGO told me to shoot for 30's for both, and when I called on area coordinator asking why I did not make it into the Naval Academy my first time applying, he said one of the reasons was due to my math score not being closer to 30.

Well going from USNA to Bud/s is very hard, since they only allow around 50-70 graduating 1/C to choose bud/s.

I was reading a Navy SEAL book by Dick Couch and in it was a former Marine who finished his Commitment with the USMC, and then re-enlisted and eventually completed bud/s. I think it would be impossible however to be an officer and switch over and keep your rank/status as an officer

Ya just like what ^ said, update your bgo when you finished parts of your applications or maybe even when you get a report card in. When I submitted my application, I sometimes did new stuff after I turned it in or thought of something else I did during my High School years that I thought would...

here is some words of advice if you want to hear it. Once you do your interview with your BGO, make sure you stay in contact with him! My BGO has been very helpful with me throughout my application process for two years in a row. He provides great advice, motivation, and much more. Good Luck!

I forgot to say, it is never to late to take the ACT test. I was in college when I took it for the fourth time. Sort of awkward going back to high school but deffinatly worth it
