I did the same! Only applied to FSU, USF and USNA. I did not apply for NROTC. I also do not recommend going this route, it is quite risky... but it worked for me!

Sir, she walks, she talks...

I could definitely find someone! Once I'm allowed to private message, I'll give you someone's info.

During the academic year there is a "training staff" which is ultimately a group of detailers. There are morning workouts that the training staff leads, there are noon-meal trainings, etc. They can put you on punishments that will take up your time and just seem annoying in general. Some...

I wish I knew there was a training staff!! Most Plebes in my class did not know this! When they say "Plebe Summer never ends", they are right. It really doesn't end until Herndon, and I never understood why Herndon was such a big deal until now. It wouldn't have made much a difference when...

I would say that's a competitive score as it is.. but, they are always upping the ante. I believe '23 is the highest average SAT/ACT score.

Yes! The 29 was composite. I got a 34 in math and a pretty low score in reading... I think it was a 22. BUT, my SAT reading was a 690, so the super-duper-score helped out a lot! If I'm being honest, most colleges should be doing this...too many people get set back because of standardized testing.

I haven't noticed rivalry in my battalion particularly. I am apart of 29th Company in 6th Battalion, but I do know of some companies that have rivalries between each other. Everything we do is a competition here, from Professional Knowledge exams to average GPA, so we are constantly competing...

Yes, we all received a weekend after BEATING AIR FORCE!

Thank you! I posted it on the general USNA forum and have received responses. I was just coming here to see if anyone had seem similar situations, since I know there are a lot of graduated mids and retired officers who have worked at USNA. Thank you for the concern and source!

I'm in 29! Papa Company!! I'm sure you've heard the war-stories! 😂

I agree, but you have to gauge the room. I was a Principal Nominee in a competitive district and when they asked "What is a weakness that you have?" I said "Chocolate", received a laugh, and then continued with my actual answer. On my application for the nom, I also ranked Naval Academy as '1'...

Thank you for the detailed response! I have been extremely stressed about this whole situation since I found out that is disqualifying. It is definitely frustrating... USNA has been my dream since I was 12 years old and everything I have done was with the Academy in mind. Do you happen to know...

I agree!!! A very important part that was mentioned: "Don't do anything stupid to get in trouble". I had my fun in high school, but I was smart about everything that I did (for all four years). It is possible to go out and have fun, go to parties and clubs (if that is what you like), while...

Studies: Definitely begin to work on time management! I had a bad case of Senioritis--I think I missed 20 days of school in total just because I was lazy! Once you get here, there is no more missing school because you didn't study for a test, or because you already went 4 days out of 5 and that...
