academic

Good evening! I hope you all are doing well. I'm still out and about getting vaccinations and medical things taken care of, and I've nearly gotten everything together for BCT packing, however, I was wondering if anyone has started packing for the academic year as well? I know some cadets who...

i’m considering doing engineering (major) at a SA. At USAFA, their engineering majors are the hardest, most time-consuming ones there. Are the engineering majors at USMA exceptionally difficult too (relative to other majors)? which majors in general are the most difficult and is the rigor...

I've done a little bit of athletics during my high school time (currently a rising Senior), cross country for one year and a varsity letter in raider Team for two years. However, I am far more involved in "Academic Extracurricular" like Quiz Bowl and have published papers in science journals...

I am a rising AS200 on a aero engineering tech major HSSP. AFROTC is my passion and I have a deep desire to be a pilot. I received a 2.2 GPA this semester when taking 16 credits and a 2.4 GPA last semester when taking 19 credits. When I got a CE after my performance last semester, I made sure...

I am at the point in my junior year when I need to pick my classes for next year. I understand the Academy emphasizes STEM courses. However, math is not a subject I would describe as being easy for me. I have taken all algebra courses, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics so far. I did not to...

I'm a HS junior planning on applying to the USNA and USCGA for the Class of 2022, because I come from a Navy family and the Coast Guard mission appeals to me. I'm wondering how my academic and athletic stats stack up with other people in my situation and/or people that have received appointments...

I am currently a senior in High School and was offered a 4 yr AROTC scholarship after the first board. On my AROTC application, I listed my intended major as Biology, although I am becoming unsure that that's what I want to major in and I'm hoping to switch it to something else, probably...

Hi all, I'm a 2010 USNA Graduate and submarine officer who manages NUPOC Accessions for the Navy. NUPOC is an alternative commissioning source to ROTC and USNA that functions quite differently and focuses on engineers and other STEM majors (predominantly, but not exclusively). The program...

I was wondering what daily life at USNA is like and how midshipmen manage their time. What is a typical daily schedule and how much homework do they usually get? How much sleep do they typically get each night and how often do they have sports practice/time to be involved in extracurricular...

This has been something I've been wondering about and I've done some research, but I was hoping you all could provide me with some more insight. I'm not worried about communicating during BCT because I know the restrictions. On the other hand, I still don't understand how the whole "cell phone"...
