Can you PM me?

I see you closed your file and are worried about making a mistake. Don't be! My DS went through the entire process with an incorrect SSN. It was my fault, I had not pulled the original SSN card until he was gathering info for RDay. I called Admissions and the lady chuckled and said, it happens...

Many schools do not publish rank, but the Guidance Office does have and can provide that information.

*I meant to say 'I don't think the question was posed...

Congratulations to you and best of luck! Please check with your Guidance Counselors and go on line to see what Scholarships are available. There are many organizations that award small scholarships. When our children graduated from HS the program included Scholarships from all sorts of sources...

Congratulations to all on your Appointment(s)! It is truly a difficult decision and very humbling to receive an LOA/LOE followed by Appointments to multiple Academies. I watched both our children go through it one year after another. After much reflection and just really looking at majors...

Good for you for having a goal at 13! I agree with the previous posters, you have a long time before your application process starts, and you have no idea of DodMerb's future guidelines. That said, if it truly worries you, address the condition now. IF you do go to the Dr and there is a...

I just remembered why I stopped reading these forums. People are so quick to criticize and attack. Curahee, I found nothing disrespectful in your comments, and your humor refreshing. It is great to recognize your areas for improvement...On RDay everyone is equal regardless of their...

Definitely have your DS apply for a sponsor family. Our DD loves being able to leave the yard. DD and friends all go to each other's sponsor family homes. The sponsors have been great at taking them for holidays when they could not get home, and providing rides to and from BWI. I wish we...

Appointments are starting to be sent for Non LOA and Non Recruited candidates. DS was called out of class by MOC yesterday to tell him he has received an Appointment to Navy (no LOA, not recruited). I read the threads all last year, DD is Class of 2018. Best wishes to all of you, I hope your...

How can he be a fair and objective professor if he feels this way? Why is he still teaching there if he thinks it is so awful?

I have been wondering the same thing. Class size is 1173 (according to fall grade report), the spring grade report will have the current class size and will give insight to attrition.

I can guarantee you recruited athletes (DD '18, with a LOA) definitely go through the regular admissions process. After all was completed I spoke with her coach at IDAY for clarification of LOA and blue chip. He said she had qualified on her own merit, so coach did not need to use a blue chip...

What is an FFR?

Does anyone know if you receive an LOA from one Academy can you wait to see if you get an LOA or an appointment from another? I know an actual appointment has an 'expiration' date, but does an LOA?

File Review Will the Candidate's file be reviewed if the only items missing are the BGO interview (doesn't schedule until September), and a nomination?

Thank you for clarifying. I hope your DD heals quickly! It is great that they let them come back for the next year, as we all know how tough it is to secure the appointment!

I find the attrition number for the class very interesting. I know of 6 plebes who left, all for different reasons. From talking to a friend whose child just finished plebe summer at Air Force (I know it is called something different) she said approximately 100 kids left. She said she was told...

Best wishes to you! FYI the cutoff age for USNA is 23. Check the website for exact info.
