Thank you everyone for the informative replies! I will take all of your advice over my last few days of preparation.

Hello, I was wondering if there is anything specifically that I should be remembering in the days leading up to I-day. There is a lot of conversation on the physical aspect and day-to-day life of PS, but I'd like to know if there is anything I will be expected to know when I show up on I-day...

My university did not offer NROTC, only AFROTC and AROTC. I considered joining one of the offered ROTC programs but opted against it because USNA was my only goal and I didn't want to be misleading as to where my interests lied. I did not participate in an intermural or varsity sport, as neither...

@5Day, thank you for the reply. @4myboy, I'm not entirely sure. I emailed my Admissions Officer but got an automated email saying she was away from the office, so hopefully I hear back soon.

Just to be clear, I am only considering dropping a course because it is a waste of time, not because my current schedule is too rigorous. I would prefer to spend the time that would be dedicated to this course on studying for validation tests or simply enjoying my last few weeks before plebe...

My question is similar to yours but concerns dropping a class. I'm taking 18 credit hours so would it jeopardize my appointment if I dropped a course that does not relate to my intended major at all? The drop deadline for my university has not yet passed so the course would simply disappear from...

USNA will look at both your high school and college grades, typically assigning more weight to the latter. Your priorities as a re-applicant should be completing a rigorous schedule (18 credits w/Chem), achieving a 4.0 your first semester, forming a good relationship with your English and Math...

District 25. Thank you!

Thank you! I got an email around 10am EST notifying me of a portal change. I guess my Congressman was busy the past few days!

Thank you!

I'm a re-applicant principal nom and have been CPR since Jan. 30. It seems like many of the other re-applicants have already heard back so I'm a little anxious to say the least.

Thank you for the reassurance. Being patient is my only choice so that's what I'll have to do.

In short, there was a scheduling error that prevented me from taking physics or chemistry my first year of college. With the exception of those classes, my schedule mirrored the plebe schedule to the best of my ability. I don't see why I wouldn't be academically qualified, but I'm just anxious I...

I am also a re-applicant with a Principal Nomination. I did well on the CFA and am medically qualified. I took calculus my first semester of college and got a 3.72 GPA (All A's and one B+). As with fearthegoat, I am worried about academic qualification. Does anyone know if my grades are in the...
