How are mids selected by USNA's administration and staff to fill leadership roles in the Brigade, such as that of Brigade Commander? What do they look for in a mid other than the obvious need for someone who intrinsically understands the concept of honor and integrity (i.e. athletics, academics...

Thanks everyone for your input. Would you say though that most SEAL Candidates selected for BUD/S are varsity athletes? Or, is there a pretty even split between those selected to do BUD/S who do intramurals and varsity athletics?

I'm an incoming Plebe for the Class of 2016 and extremely interested in the SEAL Community. Granted that mids often change their minds on service selections by the time they actually have to make a choice, I was wondering what sport would be looked favorably on by the SEAL Officers selecting...

Further Clarification To further clarify, respectfully, the original post did not ask about my own personal chances. I wanted to compare myself with admitted mids, not only to say that I was going to see how I stacked up, but primarily as a reference source.

USNA1985's thread for "What Are My Chances" clearly states that no one know's the chances of someone who posts info about themselves to see how they stack up. But I was wondering what would you guys think would be the average person (i.e. GPA, athletics, extracurriculars, etc.) who would get...

Memphis9489, I'm planning on applying to USNA in February (along with the summer seminar). I know that an LOA is extremely rare to get, and it is only given out to extremely qualified candidates. If you don't mind me asking, what did your sons do in high school to get an LOA?

usna1985, My high school cut the Chinese course so I am only stuck with two years. A local community college offers Chinese, but I might not recieve high school credit. I have been taking an online Spanish I course though. Is it better to stick with Chinese at a community college even though I...

usna 1985, I should have re-phrased the question. What I should have said was, based on previous experiences, what do most candidates that receive appointments have on their application that I am lacking? (I have gone to the academy's class of 2014 profile but it is a little vague on the...

I will be a junior near the end of this month, and I am extremely interested in the Naval Academy. Please let me know if I have a chance or if I should improve on anything to better my chances. I have not taken the SAT or ACT yet but I plan on taking SAT over-and-over again until my score is at...
