    SAT Scores

    From my experience, I'd say those scores are definitely competitive, better than mine and I just got my appointment. Where are you from? You might consider the ACT as well, I know for me I was much better at ACT. The academy takes whichever test makes you more competitive so it can't hurt...

    APRIL...the killer month?

    Can anyone tell me what TWE and BFE are? I'm not so good with acronyms and I feel like I should already know what they are

    Class Validation

    osdad, I have no intention in any way of "gaming the system". I brought up the midshipmen's admitted efforts on the validation tests to say exactly the opposite. I don't want to be put in a class that will waste both the Navy's time and mine, which is why I was nervous about not doing well on...

    Mail during Plebe Summer

    CAmom2015, MomoftheMagik, PositiveThinking thank you so much, that is very sweet. One of my reasons for wanting to attend an academy was that I wanted to be a part of tight knit community that cared about each other. During my interviews they always allowed room for me to ask a question and...

    Advice to Plebes

    My dad actually had a coworker who lives in Annapolis, she requested to be my Sponsor but... I don't know. My dad isn't thrilled... more for her sake than mine. I worry too much, I just don't want to end up halfway across the country with no one to call on except kids who are all in the same...

    Advice to Plebes

I have been told...

    Mail during Plebe Summer

    I'm getting ready for Plebe Summer and I was wondering about the mail too. My dad already said I shouldn't expect him write and I highly doubt any of my friends can be bothered so I think I'll be lucky if my sister sends me anything :( I thought it might be possible for me to just write to my...

    Class Validation

    Thank you all for replying so quickly. AF6872, the table was very helpful. I am hoping to get a PhD in physics some day so getting ahead is probably a good idea. I am worried that I won't do well on the validation tests, the midshipmen I spoke too said they were so tired they could barely...

    Class Validation

    I received my appointment to USNA in February and recently participated in the Candidate Visit Weekend. I have taken AP Calc BC (scored a 5) and Calc 3 (with credit from CU) and have three full years of physics (AP Physics B and C) which is my intended major. Over my visit a number of the...

    Hello from Colorado

    I am currently a high school senior in Colorado. Next year I will be attending USNA, hopefully as a physics major and a varsity swimmer. I am here for a few last minute questions.
