    AIM Application

    My DS and I attended the Pre-AIM seminar in Rochester back in March. At that time LT McIntyre-Coble told the group that there would be modifications made to the "physical" part of the AIM program due to some incidents at prior AIM's.

    SLE 2016

    Apparently they have not put the link up and therefore they only recognize the class of 2016.

    How do they select candidates for junior cvw's? Is it from STEM camp visit?

    Which Sports actually have "influence/input" on the selection process ?

    My son was a walk on for crew last year. He ended up as one of the top heavyweight plebe coxes. There were 2 recruited rowers in the heavies last year out of 40. A girl on my daughters track team was recruited for 2019 class. Got an LOA early on. That seems to be the way in for the athletes.

    Talked to CGA rep.

    My son applied to both CGA and USNA. The admissions partners and admissions people we met all said that an acceptance was not based on any one score or item, but rather your whole candidate score including ECA's, sports, community involvement, etc. CGA admissions is great about answering any...

    US Naval Sea Cadet Corps

    My 11th grade DD is a little weak in the leadership area. She won't be able to be a sports captain until her senior year and does not have a lot of other leadership opportunities. At the armed forces tent area tonight at our states fair, we learned about the Sea Cadet program. Does anyone...

    Hey, sorry I just saw this. We tried to have the Farnsworth Lantern test done, but when we got there all they had was the Farnsworth Bottle cap test. He also had another PIP done, this one on a newer book. He passed bottle cap perfectly and only had one wrong on PIP. We resubmitted and they...

    Siblings at USNA

    Since all the SA's seem to ask a question about having a sibling who attends an academy, I was wondering how much or how little impact that has? My son says there are a "ton" of sibs in the brigade. Obviously every sibling is different, but do they look at the performance of one to get an...

    Board qualified with principal nom?

    Just to clarify, MOC's office was told that my DS was academically and physically qualified. He already knew and put down on MOC application that he was medically qualified for all the service academies / ROTC since MOC's application asked about being qualified for vision. If memory serves...

    Board qualified with principal nom?

    Last year our MOC's office said they were told by USNA which candidates were 3q. That weighed heavily on their decision as they didn't want to "waste" a nom on someone who might not get an appointment.

    Junior year math courses for DD

    Thanks for all the input. She is most likely going to double up and see how it goes.

    Junior year math courses for DD

    My DD is now strongly looking at applying to a few of the SA's (USNA, USMA and USCGA). She was not on the advanced math track, but has excelled in math. She is now considering doubling up her junior year with trig and pre-calc. My question is how much does it matter that you have taken calc...
