    Awards At NASS?

    Honestly, many candidates at NASS were qualified to receive the awards. The amount of awards I can remember were basically two or three per company. I received an appointment without being awarded anything at NASS. So, that being said, your focus should not be wasted on that. Work hard, be a...

    SAT Subject Test

    I am by no means qualified to speak on the entire matter, but I can share from a personal experience. I did not take any SAT subject tests, just the good ole basic SAT, ACT, and AP tests and have received an appointment for the Class of 2017.

    And with all the mud that your clothes will acquire from sea trials...bring a trash bag or two to bring them home in.

    choosing sizes for NASS clothing

    I am a female, and totally did not consider that the sizes would be unisex. Lucked out with being towards the end, so I was able to change some sizes last minute. I got small sweatpants which fit perfectly at NASS. When I got home, they shrunk tremendously. So consider whether the fit at NASS...

    Validating English 1 and English 2

    With the AP scores, does that just get us a ticket to a validation test? Or does a 5 automatically get us out of a class? Thank you

    Are the appointed willing to share their stats?

    I have been accepted for the class of 2017. You can sit there and analyze stats all day long, and you will psych yourself out. Trust me. My stats vary incredibly from some of my other future classmates who are on the other side of the country. But I will provide a few stats in the hopes they...

    Revoked Appointment

    Though a different situation, I had on my DODMERB paperwork stuff about sprained ankles and a broken toe. They requested extra paperwork on it. So my doctors and physical therapist all printed out the clearance forms I had from roughly 1.5 years ago and all they did to treatment and we sent...

    Accurate accounting?

    I am neither 1, 2, 3,4, or 5. The insight I can give regarding my nom was my area interviews in November, so I knew what noms I had by Dec. I was not a principal nom as my Senators and Congressman do competitive slates, which both had LOA holders. I did receive two noms, but not a Presidential...

    Quick Question regarding CVW

    After my nomination interviews, the interviewers recommended I ask my BGO to place me on the CVW list. So, I politely asked if it was possible then was told I had been placed on it for spring. Got the invite and have signed up for Jan 31-Feb 2. So I was not randomly invited, if that helps...

    Where would we see appointment status?

    I received an appointment back in December. On my CIS, there is no evidence shown of that. Hope this helps!

    Nomination in CIS

    It took roughly two weeks for my Senators nom to show up, probably because the senators coordinate in my state. For my congressman, it took a week. Hope this helps!

    Language requirement?

    I was concerned as well when I saw the change to "spoken language." I had checked in prior years and had not seen that so upon seeing that this year I became worried. I will finish Latin 3 at the end of this year. I have had an opportunity to earn a Russian I high school credit open up. Would it...

    GPA Calculation

    When USNA looks at a transcript, will they re-weight the classes? I have taken a mix of AP and honors courses but only the AP count on a 5.0 scale. I am aware that some schools give 5.0 for honors courses. So to compare candidates, is the GPA recalculated or does Admissions mainly look at the...
