To all who are rejected,or anxiously waiting... DS #1 got in on first try. DS#2 was rejected sometime in May. Got in after a year on a NROTC scholarship. Did not have top SATs, not minority, not recruited athlete. Just normal good all around kid. Got to live abroad for six months at a foreign naval academy, since he was ahead in subjects from his college year. Served as company commander his firstie year. Got his first choice service assignment. DS#2 claims he got a better deal than DS#1( who also was co commander and got his choice of service selection). He got to experience a year of regular college! Keep trying, it always pays off whether at USNA or elsewhere.
