As the appointments for the class of 2022 start to roll out, I wanted to make you aware of the face book group that is available to parents (or legal guardians) of appointees. This page has current admissions field rep parents as admins who are experienced and in regular contact with USMMA...

The Academy will not find you one. Be proactive. There are many nomination sources. Start with your representative. More than likely, they’ll be happy to amend your application given the situation. Send them a copy of your LOA and follow-up with a phone call or visit to the office.

Call and email your admissions officer now and express a strong interest in prep school, if you should be denied an appointment. If selected for prep, you would be sent to MMI in GA or NMMI in NM on 50% scholarship (not full ride). Hold is not the end. It's safe to assume that appointments...

I agree with MMA19kid.

First lesson on being respectful but insistent. If his request was in the pipeline early, then it's important to educate the teachers on rolling admissions, state allotment and a service academy is not like applying to a regular college. It is extremely important as every day could hurt his...

Most of the grads I know want to sail. Each situation is unique. I wouldn't begin to guess your circumstances or motivation. If you want to apply, go for it. Visit the campus, do your homework and make the decision yourself.

Your GPA isn't as important as your grades in specific classes (calculus and physics, maybe somewhat chemistry). They don't look at the writing component, only the math and verbal SAT scores.

Please email az.usmma.parents.association@gmail.com to connect with the AZ parents, even if you cannot attend.

Applicants and Appointees are welcome to attend the luncheon this Saturday sponsored by the USMMA AZ Parents Association. Who's going?

You are invited to a candidate luncheon Feb 11 in Sarasota. Send me private message or comment here to RSVP. Free for applicant, small fee for others. Alumni and midshipmen also welcome at no charge.

Right, so you'll remain on hold until all that is completed.

Have they received your first semester transcript?

Sea2sea: what state are you in? They will see your withdrawn application, however it's likely that once the slate is submitted, they are not going back to the portal to check. So, yes, contacting them today might free up a slot for someone else, if they can make the adjustment by cob 1/31.

The Indoc report date for the class of 2021 is Tuesday June 27th. https://www.usmma.edu/academics/registrar/academic-calendar-2017-2018

What state are you from?

February 4, 2017: Phoenix luncheon hosted by the USMMA Parents Association AZ Chapter. Contact Lisa Benner at az.usmma.parents.association@gmail.com to RSVP or just to say Hi.

Ask the representative who gave you USNA to switch it to USMMA. USNA is oversubscribed in MD so they would probably be happy to free up a slot and switch you to USMMA. If they are willing but the slots are used up, contact me and we'll get you direct help.

Subs are also available for deck majors. Listen to your nomination board. They have given you sage advice.

Yup, not thrown away, but can tend to get lost in the laundry or washed incorrectly. So, don't spend too much money, although I would imagine the tech kind will be more comfortable. Most of the time you will live in compression shorts, but NY can be hot and humid so you can sweat under your...

I believe you start all over again. Persevere, it's worth it.
