I believe we have liberty during that time from what I was told. I know that Herndon got moved this year to right after sea trials.

I remember getting an email that I was receiving a LOA (Letter of Assurance) in February. This meant that I was guaranteed a spot as long as the incomplete conditions were met which in my case was just waivers for medical disqualifications. After the LOA came in, my status changed to a “under...

During my senior year of high school, I played football, swam, and played golf. During college, my NROTC unit held multiple morning workouts a week. We also took the Navy’s PRT a couple times a semester. I also went on some runs and lifted on my own from time to time. In terms of ECs and...

I was stubbornly set on USNA from the beginning. I wasn’t interested in any other academies.

Of course! After my first attempt, I contacted my admissions counselor and hopped on the phone with her in order to discuss areas in which I could improve. One mistake I made was waiting to take my CFA as I ended up injuring my knee during football my senior year of and required surgery. This...

Hey everyone, I am a current plebe (Class of 2026) at USNA and willing to try and answer any questions ranging from the application process to life at the academy. As a little background reference, I am a reapplicant having been originally denied out of high school. I did a year of college...

Thank you! I am glad it possibly provided some reference as I know I could not find much myself. It is such a tantalizing process. I hope everything works out for you guys as well and for the same to ultimately come true in the end.

Of course! Primarily, I provided the full in-depth reports from the two visits to my cardiologist, initial and check-up, which were two years apart. They contained the results to the tests he performed, including both echocardiogram and electrocardiogram, as well as his determined findings. He...

Update: I just found out today that my waivers were granted by USNA. I wanted to post this as a reference in case anyone else is dealing with a similar situation in the future; I know I personally could find little on the valvular condition and how it is typically handled. In addition, thank...

The same thing happened to me yesterday although I am still waiting for my waiver results. According to admissions, it still says LOA on their end.

Mr. Mullen, I just sent you an email response; I appreciate the clarification and, as always, thank you so much for all of your help!

Understood, thank you so much for your response! It is to my knowledge that usually USNA only pursues waivers on applicants deemed competitive. Is it true that there are limitations on how many waivers can be give out each year?

Will the academies ever give waivers to applicants if it limits their service selection upon graduation? For example, would they waive a condition that maybe cannot be considered for waiver to enter aviation but would be fine for other assignments? I understand many factors are taken into...

So I was initially notified through an email from the office of admissions that basically stated that I would be guaranteed an offer of appointment as long as I satisfy the remaining requirements, mine being the need for a medical waiver. It then eventually updated in the portal under STATUS to...

Email received, thank you!

Good evening, I recently received word from USNA that I was being offered an LOA for the upcoming class under the condition that I am deemed medically qualified. All my files have been submitted and I am now under waiver review for two disqualifications: The first being the dislocation of my...
