The Superintendent's address to the Board of Visitors contains some statistics for the class of 2013. http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2009/09/15-25/Academy-stressing-military-training.html EM

My information was contained in a news report on the Superintendent's address to the Board of Visitors. http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2009/09/15-25/Academy-stressing-military-training.html I think that applicants might find the message very interesting. EM

I read somewhere that they are about 500 applications ahead of where they were last year at his time, and that they have received over 13,000 completed applications. I would not expect that the applications have all been reviewed by this time; the Board meets only once per week starting in...

Does anyone know if the foreign language recommendation for admission to the Naval Academy can be fulfilled by taking American Sign Language rather than the usual French, Spanish, etc? I have tried the search feature for this forum without success, and cannot find the answer on the USNA...

Repeat your situation/question in a message to L. Mullen via email. His address is in a "sticky" at the top of this discussion list. Be sure to include your son's name and the last 4 digits of his social security number. Mr. Mullen has helped many applicants navigate the DoDMERB process...

According to our guidance counselor, many schools will no longer accept your standardized scores from your transcript; they must come directly from the College Board. Seems that there was a situation somewhere in which the scores were altered..... Better to have them sent directly, even...

It is my understanding that USNA is "rolling admissions". The sooner you have your application is, the more often it will be reviewed. Unless someone else has information to the contrary, it is also my understanding that the earlier one has submitted a completed application, the greater...

All of our family members and friends who are going through/have been through flight school, aspired to fly jets. From their perspective, as related to me, the experience was intense.

Not having personally gone through the process, my information is second-hand. it was related to me that many more mids who would have previously been excluded due to vision problems were now in the runnng for a pilot slot. Thus the increase in competition. I do not know if the number of...

Born-to-Fly: I think you are "jumping the gun" here. You have several obstacles to overcome prior to sitting in the cockpit of a P-3 or P-8. You are hoping to be in the class of 2015. Assuming you are successful in that quest, your next challenge will be the academics at USNA. Unless...

Please remember that not all emails reach their destination. Many sophisticated spam filters will keep them from reaching the intended party and do not necessarily bounce them back. Be sure to send all email with both a received and read receipt. If, after several days of the receipt...

You might consider taking the ACT also. Often students do considerably better because the test's focus is different. It is my understanding that admissions uses the higher scores from either test. Good Luck.

I noticed that you are from Maryland, a VERY competitive state. Your parents most likely are aware of the high level of competition for both a nomination and appointment. As many have stated before, not one of us on this forum has direct knowledge of whether your "whole person" score will be...

There are so many variables that one cannot generalize. A lot depends on luck; by that I mean the quality of the candidates with whom you are competing for the nomination and appointment from the congressional slate. Some years the pool is more talented than others. Some years your stats...

The nomination process varies by Senator and Congressman. Ours is a very competitive state, and our "senior" senator waits until the "junior" senator and the Representatives have made their nominations before scheduling interviews. The first question asked by the "senior" senator's staff...
