I got home to a very large packet and folder from the Naval Academy Dean of Admissions. I have received an appointment to USNAPS, dated February 06, 2014.
In case anyone is wondering, I have a GPA of approximately 3.62, my class rank is 2nd out of 9. My ACT scores were 34 English; 28 Math; 33 Reading; 34 Science; and 29 English/Writing. My SAT scores were 670 Math, 680 Writing, and 640 Reading. I know you don't need a nomination for USNAPS, but for informative purposes for readers of this post, I did not receive a nomination of any kind to USNA. While it is no doubt that I am happy as can be right now, I am curious as to what under-qualified me. Would you be USNAPS eligible if the highest-level math class you took was pre-calculus? My school only offers the basic four math classes (though I am taking a college algebra class online through UT Permian Basin). Or did one of my test scores or GPA not make the cut? Curiosity killed the cat, I know, but one has to wonder.
This was a much-welcomed surprise for me. My parents were clearly very excited about the packet as I had 16 missed calls and 8 texts from my mother when I checked my phone after school.
USNA is my second choice, so I will not be accepting or declining until I hear back from USAFA about my status, which works out fine because I have until May 1st to do so.
I would like to thank everyone on these forums for the previous guidance and continued guidance given to us candidates. I'd have been more lost than Christopher Columbus without this community.
