Great idea! Count me in!

I took biology, calculus, and English this year, and am taking chemistry next year.

I emailed the Director of Operations the summer going into my freshman year of college and told them I was interested in being a manager. I am a manager for the university's basketball team.

I just got the 2028 decision back, and now, this upcoming application process will be my third time applying to USNA. I’ve tried to improve every aspect of my application, but now I don’t know what to do. Here’s what I’m going to do this upcoming year. I'd love to hear what else will improve...

Wait... You can't wear contacts during Plebe Summer? I would be screwed.

I'm in the same boat: DQ, no waiver, and no decision yet.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if it was possible to start ROTC as a college sophomore. I work with a D1 basketball program and, therefore, travel a lot during the season and have a tight schedule to begin with. For reference, I work about 50 hours a week with the team. I want to do this, at...

I'm a college reapplicant. I have yet to receive an appointment for the class of 2028, so it looks like I'll be reapplying again. Since I'll be turning 20 next year, next year's application will be my last chance. I had a 4.0 GPA in high school, but doesn't anyone know what GPA they look for in...

I am a manager for a D1 sports team, what are some other leadership roles I can have while in college?

I was medically disqualified last year, as well as this year. I received a Foundation offer last year before I completed my dobmerb.

This is the second year I have been medically disqualified, for the same reason (knee surgery three years ago). I'm a little confused about how the USNA portal looks. Currently, I have a big red "disqualified" under my DODMERB status. Would this be pending if USNA were considering a waiver...

Hey everyone! I applied to USNA my senior year of high school got into the foundation but chose to attend a civilian college due to a family ordeal. I have applied again as a college reapplicant, got medically disqualified due to receiving knee surgery three years ago, and am waiting for a...

Thank you. Do you know the timeframe that USNA issues medical waivers? I feel as though it's pretty late in the game, as I am nearing spring without having heard anything from them.

I just recently found out that I am medically disqualified for a "history of joint replacement or resurfacing of any site." I'm assuming this was from knee surgery three years ago, but everything is 100% okay now. I don't know how this medical waiver process works: am I allowed to request a...
