Well, my goal was to get into a SA, but that won't happen. Now, I'm hoping to get into a prep/ROTC. Wish me luck. My name is Matas.

So, I want to hear if any of you guys have heard of candidates who seemed unqualified get into USNA. Most people that get in seem to be way over the top. Also, when talking about GPA, what GPA do people on this forum use most? I don't know my weighted or unweighted, so I go by cumulative...

Well, freshman year my cumulative GPA was 4.571, and my class rank was either 23 or 26 out of 463, I think, and I took all honors and had an A in every class except Honors Algebra (C). I was in NJROTC then, and I did out of school sports. This year, I am a sophomore, and I am not doing as...
