    Official Candidacy?

    I was contacted by my BGO a few weeks ago congratulating me on becoming an official candidate but have not yet received anything from the Academy. Should I contact admissions to make sure there was no mistake?

    I am applying for the class of 2019 as well. I recently go the exact same email from my BGO who I later called. He told me that I should be getting the information in the mail shortly and that it is slightly behind last year but coming soon.

    CAP or Junior Firefighting?

    Not sure how admissions looks at them but I am a part of both and they both are more valuable then a check on a application. I've learned lessons that will be with me for the rest of my life. Put in the effort and shift around your schedule. It will be worth it

    How am I doing? What should I do to improve?

    Definitely more leadership, being captain of the swim team is great but still need more. Maybe look at being president of a club at your school. Other wise looks solid.

    STEM

    I was not trying to be offensive, so let me re-phrase my comment: Almost every person I have talked to, both on this forum and in person (including my BGO) have said that USNA tries to bring in a diverse group, in order to increase kid's interest in USNA from all over the country.
