    My TWE

    What you have here is the class COMPOSITION. This is much different than the acceptance rate by ethnicity. Your claim that "USMA accepted only 7% of Asian-American candidates" is flawed. I believe you got the composition confused with the acceptance rate. The entire class may be composed of just...

    Is it worth a try?

    Hello All, I am a current sophomore economics major at a well-respected state university. My ultimate goal is to become a military officer. I applied twice to USNA, primarily because it is close to home and I am very familiar with it. After conducting a few informational interviews and...

    Motivation for TWE'ers (it's not so bad!)

    Sorry to hear the news, but it sounds like you have the right attitude. I am nearing the completion of my sophomore year of civilian college, and I received the dreaded TWE again yesterday. Like you said, it makes you a stronger person and provides even more motivation to earn a commission. I...

    Blue and Gold officer question

    Since BGOs are usually assigned by the applicant's high school, there is a possibility you may be assigned the same one. When I started my application this year, I was assigned to the same BGO. Even though we had mutual respect for one another, my BGO encouraged me to request another BGO. He...

    USNA Candidate Visit Weekend

    I attended a CVW in October and I can tell you I was certainly more than a fly on the wall. The professors I met were very nice and willing to answer any questions. I was actually able to meet with a math professor during her office hours. She provided great information about the curriculum at...

    No Nomination, but hopeful?

    I'm in the same situation. I too live near the academy, therefore my district is also very competitive. I am by no means expecting any good news, but I'm still quietly hopeful. The best advice I can give is to actively pursue your back up plan and hope for the best. Should you receive the TWE...

    Don't think I'm getting a Nomination

    I'm in the same boat, except I am a sophomore in college. I have yet to hear from Senator Cardin, so I still have a glimmer of hope. I understand your frustration with the intense competition, as I am a resident of MD-06. Remain positive and don't give up hope unless you receive the TWE. If...

    CVW?

    Hey Aly, I went on a CVW in October and I loved it! It is basically to give you a synopsis of life as a plebe at USNA. On thursday evening, I met my host and his roommates and we hung out in his room. On Friday, I went to the company workout and then attended morning classes with my host...

    Candidates REapplying

    I too am a reapplicant. I am a sophomore Political Science major at a the University of Maryland. I earned a 4.00 (straight A's) my freshman year, so I am hoping to continue my streak through the fall semester. MD is very competitive, so I failed to receive a nomination. Regarding SAT scores...

    Spring Semester and Personal Data Packet

    I should also add that I am a college sophomore. The best piece of advice I can give you is to go to your professors' office hours. My school is a state university with 25,000+ undergraduates, so it is easy to become just a face in the crowd. By visiting your instructors during office hours, you...
