    Sea year and sports

    Split assignment is tailored for the specific sport season. Playoffs and other commitments (such as helping with Indoc) can infringe upon the start of sea term but it is handled on a case by case basis. You can get a late start but still get in your required days. Of course, if there is any...

    International Candidate for Admission

    For US citizens, the color vision testing is a requirement with your application as part of a medical screening. The dental records and immunization records are required prior to day 0 but not prior to acceptance. I would say it's a very good sign. If I were you, I'd get right on it and...

    Deck jobs after graduation

    I don't think it's "end up" as much as their choice given many factors.

    Advice for a Frustated Dad Please.

    My son did better academically in the academy than in ROTC with more time on his hands to waste and less support system. How mature is he? My son did not go to state U to have a wild time. But the distractions in the dorm are constant. Professors in EE program can be a crap shoot. So even a...

    PREP

    Just FYI - in the recent past, sponsored prep means half the tuition was paid (not full scholarship). But it means much more than that as far as admissions. It's acknowledgement that you are desired and worth the investment. I agree, what's the rush?Team sports build character and leadership...

    KP Class of 2020 GroupMe

    You might as well start an account because all midshipmen seem to use it. That is, of course, unless you're a troll.

    Clubs

    Yes, there's a recreational sailing club and power squadron (for power boats and fishing). There are also sailing teams for competitive sailing. They take walk-ons, so you can learn if you have no prior experience.

    MMI Prep

    Don't look at the drop out rate as a sign of failure. People leave for a variety of reasons. Academic issues are usually a symptom, not a cause. Lack of effort, immaturity, not interested in the material, not liking sea term, etc. I don't agree that prep students have less success. I...
