Any prior enlisted on this forum have their appointment? I am waiting to hear back from my admissions rep regarding an age waiver he has to get for me from the Dept. of the Army. Would like to send you a PM with some questions. Thanks.

Along the same lines...if you are in college and this most recent semester you had to take a LOA for financial reasons, would that be enough to rescind an appointment?

Does anyone know if having a summary offense citation for public drunkeness is an automatic disqualifier for admission?

leave or have them make the decision for me, my friend.

I have not heard back from admissions yet. I was renominated by a Senator from my state. In the mean time I joined the National Guard and if I do not get in this time around I will apply from there. If that does not work I will be perfectly happy earning my commission through a different...

USNA69- Thank you for your response and input. I have spoken to Admissions and I do not have to go through the entire process again. Do you have any insight on what is the determining factor when deciding to readmit a former Midshipman?

Hello, I am Corey O'Donnell. I am a former member of the class of 2009 at USNA. I have spent the last year and a half at a civilian institution. I am attempting to gain readmission to USNA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of any former midshipman being readmitted? Also, what is the admissions board looking to see to readmit a former Midshipman? I was able to voluntarily resign due to academic deficiencies.
