Do any of you know if I'll even be considered competitive with a GPA like this? If I get a 4.0 next semester I'll still have less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA. I'm wondering if I should even bother because the nominating sources will only see my freshman year grades and I'm afraid I won't get...

Thank you for your responses. NavyHoops - I didn't have the money to take summer classes and couldn't get approval for NROTC to cover them either due to 1st semester grades (ironically enough). I tried my best to mirror a plebe schedule during my first semester - calc, chem, sci & tech studies...

I had pretty poor grades last year, my first at college (~1.9 GPA - 2 D's, D+, B, A-). I picked it up during the Spring semester, ending with a ~2.9 semester GPA, and am now heading into Sophomore year with a 2.3 cumulative GPA. I know it's bad but I'm planning on getting really good grades in...

Hi! I've heard that admissions meets to determine where candidates stand on Thursdays. If that's true and since USNA had a snow day today, would they meet tomorrow or just wait until next Thursday? Thanks!

Anyone know when the admissions people are meeting? I remember last year hearing about when they went to meeting twice a week but feel like we haven't gotten any update like that yet.

Hi all, hope you're having a good holiday season. I was just curious as to when LOAs go out. Could they feasibly continue into late January or beyond? Thanks!

Hi all, I was just wondering if the portal changes at all when you receive an LOA? Thanks!

Hi again! It's been a while since I was last on. I wanted to update and get some more information on my chances. SAT: 1920 (640 Reading, 620 Math, 660 Writing) ACT: 29 (33 English, 26 Math, 26 Science, 32 English) I'm taking both tests again in October as well. Also, I'm now...

Hello all, I was wondering if there was any way to know the dates the board will meet to determine NROTC Scholarship winners. My friends said they knew the date of the 1st board, but I am not sure where they got their information. Any help is appreciated - I'm just curious. Thanks!

Is there any way a firstie that you know could get you into their company as a plebe? I thought I read somewhere on here that it's possible but I haven't been able to find that again.

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a bind here. I'm applying for the class of 2019 and my problem is that I don't think this teacher particularly likes me... and I've already asked him for a letter. Is there any advice to be had or similar situations that ended up going well?

Unfortunately I'm not a minority or recruit. I'm retaking the SAT in May and taking the ACT in April or June. Does anyone know what the minimum scores to be competitive are for both tests? Usnahopeful19, I was wondering the same thing. Could I get into Summer Seminar with scores like those...

Okay thank you, usnahopeful19! Anyone else have any ideas? If there's something I should strive for next year or do over the summer I would really appreciate someone telling me.

Hi all, I was wondering if you had any feedback for me based on my stats and EC's, I'm currently a junior. If you could please let me know opinions on everything that would be awesome. Thank you! :smile: GPA: 92.93 (Working to raise a lot it this year) Class Rank: 71/332 SAT: 640CR, 560M...
