K company 19th here

Haha, strangely it is comforting to hear that everyone will screw up. Thank you all for your advice.

Thank you all for the advice, one thing I was wondering was how it will affect you/ how to deal with 'bad' roomates.

Thank you for the advice, I know that I'll find something there that will trip me up - I imagine everyone does; I am looking forward to it though. I worked hard to get there and on I-day the work will have paid off.

I'm not sure what to do if your homeschooled child is already a junior, but what I heard recommended was enroll your child in a math and english course at your local community college if possible, or take an AP course at a local school if offered.

Admittedly a large portion of what I know comes from my B&G regional co-ordinator and he says admissions are largely a mystery even to them.

So, it is finally feeling real, and I'm starting to get the edges of the anticipatory nervousness. I-day is June 28th and I just want to make sure I'm as ready as I can be. I'm pretty fit, think I should be able to max the PRT. I've got the naval ranks and insignias memorized and am working on...

If you fail you have to retake it, and everyone has to pass. If you have good scores you do not need to retake it (maxing three and above average for the rest counts as good). It isn't really worth stressing about, from what my B&G told me the CFA rarely 'gets people in'. If two applicants are...

LakeErie69 - I recieved my LOA at the end of september, but I didn't get a nomination until right before christmas. Prep - I think what made me stand out from other people, I won't say everyone else, but what I think got me in was the diversity of my application. I'm not phenomenal at...

Take them, honestly the AP courses aren't That hard, I typically find them to be more enjoyable than normal courses. You have to report classes you plan to take your senior year and as tough a curriculum as possible could be that extra edge. Some AP exams with a score of a 5 will allow you to...

First to prep - your scores are good, you have to take the CFA again at NASS, but if they are similiar (and they should be) then you have no need to retake it. My scores were about the same as yours, with bit faster run and probably a little less on the throw. I only took it once. Secondly to...

I've been through the gauntlet that is USNA applications and have been accepted for class of 2016. I interviewed for nominations, I completed summer seminar, I completed the cab database. I've done it all, and throughout all of it I had so many questions that I believe I am fairly well qualified...

Guess I'm the first from New York on this forum, recieved an LOA in early september and heard about the nomination right before Christmas, looking forward to free haircut day.

Thank you, and BlackBird if you have any advice to give I would gladly accept it. New York is highly competitive with approx. 600 applicants sent. I feel honored to be top 25, but I would really (really) enjoy being top 10.
