As of now, only one son has received a number. Waited on hold forever trying to reach the Academy by phone to see if there's a glitch or twin won't be issued a candidate number? Any suggestions?

Surprisingly to me, one of my sons wants to pursue entrance to the Academy! I told him to find out what the next steps are himself. I understand by applying for NASS the process has been started but, I'm not sure exactly what the next step is, do they automatically receive further instructions...

As most of you may have read in my prior posts, I had hoped NASS might have been a method to "make or break" my sons interest in the the Naval Academy. We received twin rejection letters today and that may likely seal the deal. I know this has little bearing on ultimately being appointed but...

My sons school has an upcoming "College Night" w/150 college reps attending. Anyone know how I might find out if USNA will be participating? Guidance isn't sure.

I knew there have been prior USNA grads in recent years but, in the latest edition of my sons HS magazine there's a short bio of a couple dozen seniors of approx. 600, two of which have received appointments for 2014. I have no idea of the demographics or how competitive Long Island is for SA...

If history, as reported here, holds true, we should be hearing about NASS offers any minute now. If we get a split offer, that will be difficult since both of my boys are "warming up" to the opportunity.:eek:

Having read much about AP, Honor courses here being suggested to potential applicants, I began wondering how the Academy compares apples to apples. Case in point, one of my sons took "regular" chem as a 10th grader with an 88 average in his large Catholic HS. Couple of his friends in...

I'm wondering if maybe the baseball coach, or coaches, will be available to speak with during NASS? One of my sons is determined to play college ball and speaking to the coach, or even the possibility, would certainly increase his interest in NASS and applying to the academy. How does the...

Anyone know approximate number of Apps vs. the 2250 accepted? I should have told my sons to print out their apps to see what info they submitted but, forgot. The worst scenario, one is accepted for NASS and not the other, one is academically stronger, the other excels athletically. Also, is...

My twin sons have applied for NASS but, are undecided about attending if accepted. I have encouraged them to attend if only as a part of the whole college application experience. If they attend I would expect the academy to be supportive and encouraging as well. Does the NASS impact at all...

I realize this may seem a ridiculous question to pose but, I hope to get some reasonable answers/suggestions. He attended an "event" last summer in Brooklyn, wants to attend a summer session this year but, this kid is very "laid back". He's always been categorized as a leader, not a follower...

We were invited to a 2 hour in-person forum in Brooklyn, has anyone attended one of these? Any feedback is appreciated, we're in the very early stages of inquiry to attend the USNA for my 16 yo son, a sophmore in catholic HS.
