Mailed in my manila envelope on Saturday! Also finished all my medical (too many shots) and sent that. It is good to have the paperwork finished for now. How is everyone else doing with the PTR packet? Gotta run...literally

K-, We are on another forum together as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you also have been recruited to play basketball? If so, basketball, four languages and an appointment...see you on I-Day!! (Also, you never know what might happen with that grade. Keep doing your best and...

I'll take this one. (Ha, beat you to one, Mom!) We are only in AL temporarily and are actually AK residents. We are here to support my Grandmom who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers. So, I am not an AL appointee. Hope that helps. I guess my mom beat me to posting my appointment...

Yes, I should have stated, "The DodMerb website contains admission information from the programs."

DoDMerb has a line for "Admission Status" and "Admission Status Change Date". Those are for the actual academy admission not the medical stuff. My medical reads as "Qualified" as of October 2, 2009; however, my admission status is "In Process" as of "6-JUL-2009". So Dodmerb does have the...

Wow. If I do get accepted this is going to take some leg-work. I have lived in three states just during my high-school years, and 5 states in the past ten years. I hope I get an offer soon, or I may not have this done before I-Day!:yllol:

Thank you for the advice. Our midterms will not be available before the first, plus our family is preparing for a vacation with my brother beginning early tomorrow. I asked both of my professors if they would send an email to the admissions office with my midterm information. My physics...

I am wondering if I should send a copy of my midterm grades, when they become available, from the two college courses I'm taking this semester. I am earning a 98 in Calculus and a 100 in Physics so far. Since I am already scholastically qualified, I don't know if that information would be...

I took both SAT and ACT, multiple times. I like taking the ACT better, but I seem to get higher scores on the SAT. One thing I will tell you is that, while I understand the need for the tests and the results, I don't feel they are all that accurate as far as suggesting "how prepared you are...

That's good to hear. My mom tells me all the time that if I sacrifice now it will pay off in a few years. You bring up a point that my parents mention often. At the academy, students are their to work hard and learn. They are all pretty much on the same page. At a civilian school you have...

huskerdophin - congrats on the scholarship. I have a similar situation but with aerospace engineering. (My dad's bachelor is in chemical engineering.) I've discovered that waiting is not my mom's strong suit! (Hey, Mom, I see you've been busy on here.) Hopefully we'll all hear...

According to an article I read, I would say that minorities may have an edge because diversity among its officers is a top priority for the Navy. Here is quote from a Washinton Post article written in 2009. "Of the 1,230 plebes who took the oath of office at the Naval Academy in Annapolis...

I'm from Anchorage. I took one of my dual-credt classes at UAA. We are temporarily here in the "lower-48" helping to care for my grandmother, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I spent a couple of months in Anchorage with my best friend recently and will do so again this summer. I...

Officially 3Q'd! My mom (momofthemagik, go figure) had me email my regional contact about this issue. Today I received a reply that I AM scholastically qualified, and they received all of my updated transcripts. The email also said I would receive a letter soon stating my scholastic...

I am an Alaskan Naval Academy class of 2014 hopeful. Just checking in to say "Good luck!" to everyone who is currently in the "painful waiting" stage. Any 2014 Alaskan Congressional nominees on here, I'd love to hear from you!
