Principal***

This is confusing, but if you can help me out I’d greatly appreciate it. BACKGROUND: Senator 1 does principle and alternate ranking. Senator 2 and Congressman does competitive slate of 10. I was asked to list the service academies in order of preference while I was applying for the...

As I was re-reading my essay, I realized that there were minor errors (singular vs plural nouns). I know admissions will see and notice it, but will it significantly make a negative impact on my application or is it something that can be overlooked if the essay is good enough?

Did you two happen to attend SLE?

When does the Admissions Committee begin to meet and offer LOAs and appointments? What are the typical qualifications of someone who receives a LOA?

So how competitive should one be if they decide to apply through EA? Is there a profile or something similar for those who have been accepted through EA versus RA?

If you aren't admitted through Early Action, will you be deferred onto the Regular Action review if your application is competitive enough?

Sorry! I just found another thread that addresses this problem. How do I delete this to save myself from embarrassment?

I've been trying to register for an account and begin my USMMA application, but every time I hit "Create User", nothing happens and the password boxes become blank. Is anyone else having this issue? Any insight on what to do would be great. Thanks.

Okay, I cant get my Eagle anymore because of the time in rank requirements. I’m a first class scout but I can get my Star rank very soon because all I need is my board of review (this is because i joined the scouting program through a newly created troop the summer after freshman year). Is it...

I know this because I’ve spoken to several mids at USNA who have done this for religious reasons. Not every situation is the same, and so while someone who has taken a gap year may not “be a part of the class”, someone else who does may very well integrate smoothly with the new class. Two years...

Yes!
