    chances for appointment to USNA

    How Many are 3Qd with Noms navymomwannabe, My son is in the Class of 2016. Our MOC told us that approximately 4,500 to 5,000 candidates are 3Qd and receive nominations. My son's class was approximately 1,200 on I-Day. I've never seen an official number, but I have seen these numbers from...

    ACT vs SAT, one or both?

    ACT vs SAT My son (Current Youngster) took the ACT 7 times, beginning his sophomore year and the SAT twice. Admissions told him, it was fine to send all scores and let them pick the scores, but, if I'm not mistaken, he reviewed all the scores before sending them. It did cost a little more...

    Nominations

    MOC staffers I'll second Dolphins2012 recommendation. My DS became acquainted with the MOC's staff. Too, he was told that MOCs talk and almost coordinate their Noms. Our Repreentative and Senator, both, for example discussed the applications and seemed to work together. One staffer told me...

    Permit to Report Website Updated

    Permit to Report Hello everyone, Just a quick recommendation. Last year, in my son's PTR packet, he was required to have a Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test. The results had to be sent back very early in the process. I believe in early or mid-May. We found, none of our local physicians (St...

    Permit to Report

    My son is in the Class of 2016 and, if I recall, the packets were delayed a bit and some forms were emailed. (Everything will be available online too.) It's a pretty intimidating packet of information but the details for everything your son or daughter needs to do is in there. I recall a very...

    STEM acceptances?

    STEM Hi everyone, If it's any consolation, my son was never accepted to the STEM program, and I know he applied at least twice. He had great stats and was always encouraged to continue applying, but just didn't get the selection. He was asked in his Junior year to attend a Candidate...

    I Day

    Attending I-Day Dad of a Plebe - I did attend I-Day last year and felt the trip was worth it! Watching my son take those first steps to Alumni Hall in the morning (After throwing up in the bushes) was a thrill. Trying to catch a glimpse of him throughout the day was a lot of fun and when his...

    Just got a CVW!

    My Experience I was on the forums this time last year trying to determine my son's chances and asking many of the same questions I see here. I'm not saying our experience is typical, but my son is now a Plebe at the Academy for the Class of 2016. I've learned one thing, however, nothing...

    Why are NASS Companies so different?

    Machdude, My son, really enjoyed NASS last year and he is a Plebe as we write, (9 Days from PPW!!!) From what he tells me each company at the Academy is a different world, as someone said, depending upon the Detailers. When I asked if NASS was anything like Plebe Summer, he chuckled. From...

    Applying To More Than One SA

    Hi Ted, As everyone seems to agree, I think the answer "depends". My son, who is a Plebe as we write, applied only to one Service Academy, however, he did have an NROTC scholarship as a backup. He considered no branch other than the Navy. He received 2 Nominations and one MOC didn't...
