2020 Hopefuls

I think we are in concurrence. A completed package is required for the admissions board from everything I understand also.
 
How long does it take for the admissions office to load the documents into the system?
My son's counsellor and at least the Math teacher [don't know about the English teacher] sent in their evaluations about 3 to 4 weeks ago.
Do we have to email the admissions office to find out or just be patient?
Thanks for the input.
 
My son's posted within 24 hours of submission by teachers and counselor
 
I did my BGO interview 2 weeks ago and I don't want to sound impatient, but my BGO still hasn't submitted the BGO report(or my portal doesn't say he has because it still says I need to complete my BGO interview). Does it normally take this long for it to appear on my portal? I'm starting to wonder if my BGO forgot to submit it or something.
 
Hello, This is a new process for my DS and me. I have few questions.

From reading some posts online, I've heard that Naval Academy favors SAT vs ACT. My son took both tests. SAT (M740+R680 , writing is not good) is worse than ACT (33).

Should he just submit ACT only or both SAT and ACT? Is his ACT score good enough?
If he submit both, will his low SAT score impact the admission?

He is going to start the application process for the nominations which require his SAT or ACT scores. He needs to make the decision soon to send ACT only or both SAT & ACT.

Any information is highly appreciated.

I've never heard of USNA preferring the SAT over the ACT myself... what do some of the others think?

USNA has no preference for SAT or for ACT.

USNA does not look at writing for the SAT, and USNA does not look at science, reading or writing for ACT.
 
Soccer98-

I don't think there will be any harm in submitting both scores because I think the Naval Academy will only look at the best ones. My son did not take the SAT at all and so he submitted only ACT test scores and was admitted and is a plebe right now.
 
Thanks to everyone's reply. Maybe I get wrong info..
If my son submit both SAT (M740+R680) and ACT (33), are these scores good enough?

I know this is not a question with easy answer. But my family is totally new to this process, we are learning the application process and nomination process online.
This forum is a good resource for us. Thanks again.

Scores are great! Just remember scores are only a portion of the process . There are still many factors that will lead to the selection of appointees .

Thanks, Yeah, I know there are many factors to lead the selection of the appointees.
My son needs to have his application done first and try his best.
 
Sorry for more questions, as I mentioned that we are learning the application process and nomination process online.

1. From checking senior's and congressman's service academy nomination websites, they all have the deadline for the nomination application.
Question: will the seniors and congressmen give out the nomination letter before the deadline if the student sends out the nomination application before the deadline?

2. From checking the USNA admission website, it says 'official interview with your Blue and Gold Officer is required in order to complete an application'.
Question: When should the students contact their Blue and Gold Officer for interview?

Thanks for your help.
 
In regards to question 1: Unfortunately for us early birds, most congressman and senators do not start looking at applications until after the deadline. So prepare to wait for a while.

In regards to question 2:
You can contact your BGO at anytime as soon as you like to introduce yourself as a candidate for admission. Other than that, most BGOs won't schedule an interview until a certain percentage of your application is completed.
 
DD just finished and submitted her Candidate Activities Record, three things done, now onto waiting for the okay to take her physical. Things are moving along. I have to be honest, it was stressful watching her press the 'submit' button because there are no changes allowed. Oh boy, I need help :help: At this rate, I will never make it out alive...nothing about 10 bottles of wine won't cure! :biglaugh:

I agree with nom issue. DS had complete file for USNA and all nom packages completed by August & did not hear about his nomination until the last week of January. Get ready to wait.
