    Prescription glasses at NSI

    I use contacts daily. For NSI, I purchased and brought 2 pairs of $15 glasses off Amazon for NSI that worked perfectly. Just make sure you bring glasses cleaner, they get dirty very quick. They don't care which kind you bring.

    advice needed/SAT

    USNA Summer Seminar

    Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. However, last year it seemed like invitations were sent out in batches. I received my "acceptance" to NASS on April 1, 2022, as did a few of my friends from other states. Hope this helps. Good luck!
