At our Senior class awards today... When the West Point appointee and 3 ROTC scholarship recipients were announced it was our Seniors who started a standing ovation, before the parents even had a chance. Made my heart happy for the future of our country and the many awesome young kids who will...

DS just received scores from his second ACT test sitting... it is considerably higher than his first sitting (34 vs. 30 composite). His file has been complete with USNA for awhile. We do have USNA listed for official scores to be sent, but that could take several weeks. Should he contact them...

DS just received scores from his second ACT test sitting... it is considerably higher than his first sitting (34 vs. 30 composite). He has already submitted his entire application for EA I. We do have USCGA listed for official scores to be sent, but that could take several weeks. Should he...

It asks if they have attended CFAD, but since they can't go until their senior year obviously that would currently be a NO. If they are scheduled to attend should they check YES?

DS needed a remedial, which we did and sent in... DoDMETS site still shows that a remedial is requested and incomplete, but DoDMerb shows his status as Medically Qualified and that his exam was reviewed on the 17th. So, is that status on DoDMerb site the final word? Do we need to worry that...

Found out much to our surprise during the initial DoDMERB eye exam that DS is "mildly color deficient"... eye doc was very nice and did the PIP test three times just to be certain, but he missed 4 or so on each pass. So, went yesterday for Farnsworth Lantern remedial... 8 hours round trip to...

Anyone know when and how applicants apply for this?

DS needs to have wisdom teeth removed and the best time would be this summer, but I strongly suspect he may get the go ahead for his DODMERB physical very soon. I don't now how fast those get scheduled once they get the OK to schedule the appointment. I'm wondering if he is recovering from...

Question about submitting the high school transcript... does it need to be submitted electronically or can DS high school mail it directly to USNA? On the online app it says it's not submitted, which we know, but it has no instruction as to HOW to submit? For some reason it gives an error...

Is there a "search" function somewhere on the forum that I'm missing?

DS just got scores back... 760 math, 640 on both reading and writing. I know all the other factors matter (he is top 3% of his class of 1000 at competitive public high school, 4 year varsity athlete, team captain, lettered sports and academics, all AP's, has a job, holds offices in NHS and...

DS applies to AIM and just got notified that he was definitely qualified, put in a lottery with other qualified candidates, and did not get selected but is being invited to attend as a "Cadet for a Day" in the fall. Should he be discouraged? Has anyone done this or can anyone speak to the...

Besides the obvious, for anyone who has been to NASS, is there anything you wish you had taken with you that you didn't pack? Or anything you packed that you really didn't need?

Looks like USNA has made some changes to their website... trying to get into DS's application (he has a candidate number) but no where to enter candidate number, just username and password and it doesn't give you an option to request it if you don't have it. Am I missing something???

Wondering if acceptance to AIM is on a rolling basis, or do they wait until after the April 1st deadline to make selections from all applicants?

DS is a junior, high GPA in all AP/Honors classes, will be a 4 year varsity athlete, 10 year club swim team, 10 year community swim team, high school team captain, officer positions in both NHS and school's largest service organization (1500 members), lifeguard, very good SAT scores, will likely...

Hello... new here, although I have been reading the forums for several weeks and learning so much great information for my son who is a junior and just beginning the application process. One question regarding Summer Seminar... I see that there are three weeks of SS, if he is lucky enough to...
