Dear XXXXXXX,
Thank you for applying to the United States Naval Academy Summer Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Program. Your application was certainly impressive. However, we are unable to offer you an invitation to participate in Summer STEM this year. We received over 7,000 applications for 640 available spots. As a result of this competition we had to turn away many fine applicants, such as you, who would have been an excellent addition to our summer program.
We strongly encourage you to continue your efforts to attend Summer STEM in the future. If you are entering the 11th grade this fall, next summer you will be eligible for the Naval Academy Summer Seminar (NASS). It is important to note that these programs are not prerequisites for admission to the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Another opportunity to experience USNA is through sports camps. Please find more information at

Given your strong academic performance thus far, you are on the right path for future success in high school and college. Please continue taking academically challenging courses within the subject areas of advanced English, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Additionally, we encourage you to stay active in athletics and extracurricular activities. These types of activities will continue to ensure your path of success for not only STEM or NASS next year, but in life!
Your significant accomplishments would make you an asset to USNA or any other academic institution. Please visit our website and follow us on Facebook to learn more about the exciting education and career opportunities at USNA. We look forward to communicating with you in the future.
