    College Freshman courses

    From a former college reapplicant and now mid, I suggest following the admissions counselor's advice. Even though I had the AP credit for the same courses, I retook the courses in college. That way next year at the academy, he will be able to validate the courses there which will give him some...

    I-Day Rates

    Are there any rates, other than the USNA mission statement, general orders, and chain of command, that we are required to know on I-Day?

    Shin Splints

    Thank you for the advice! I'll be sure to start icing more frequently and head to the running store to have them look at my shoes. I also ordered a set of compression calf sleeves, do these help?

    should I retake the SAT?

    I am a reapplicant from college and choose not to retake the SAT or ACT. I had similar test scores to the OP with a slightly higher math score. I was admitted to both USCGA and USNA with my highschool standarized test scores and my college transcript. I understand that the the test scores put...

    should I retake the SAT?

    I suggest to retake the tests only if your grades in college are not up to par. Having A's is Calc I, Calc 2, and Calc 3 will far out weigh any number a test can give. Remember that the SAT and ACT are test used to measure how you will succeed in college. If you can show that you can succeed...

    USNA Alumni Association

    Could anyone provide some insight on the Alumni Association? I really do not have any idea as to what they do or provide. Is it worth it to join?

    What Goes In the White Envelope?

    Just contacted admissions. Let then know if you did not receive a manila envelope, they will send one to you.

    What Goes In the White Envelope?

    Was there supposed to be a large manila envelope to send the forms to the commandant? I never got one, so I assumed that I needed to send them in my own.

    R-Day Questions

    As an 18 year old, I have had no problem arranging and staying at a hotel by myself, I used my debit card for the method of payment. No need for parent cc# or contact with the hotel. When traveling as a new adult, you can do every "adult" thing except rent a car.

    AEP logistics?

    (*THE instead of and in my first post.) My ticket into Boston was a hundred dollars cheaper than the other 2 airports and only an additional 17 for the train ride. Definately fly into Boston if cost is an issue (and it's only an extra hour away).

    AEP logistics?

    I flew into Boston and then took and train directly into New London. Then Uber (really cool taxi app) to the CGA. They do not provide transportation. I stayed in Boston overnight with family and went by myself.

    Conditional LOA

    Ok. I know that I'm getting the same type of conditional LOA, but I received a citation a while back. My file has to go before the character review board before the final decision is made. I suggest to check the DoDMERB website and just make sure that you don't have any waivers in the works. PM...
