I'm a mid at USNA with a 9.1 shuttle run on my CFA if that offers any reassurance.

Separate tests

First of all, I'd make sure you're following the Push-up Push program properly. I'm actually doing it right now to prepare for a PRT at reform for USNA! The way I understand it, you alternate between max rep sets on odd days, and do less-than-max sets throughout the day. This alternates between...

Swimming is only offered at a varsity level unless you count swim class.

@EOD/SEALmom I remember you asking questions about your daughters process last year...that's such an awesome result! Both SMC and a scholarship! Hard work pays off you must be so proud. Congratulations!

When I applied for a nomination, I was told about 200+ people applied for a nomination as well. I do not know if that is in total or for my choice, Navy, specifically. From what I've seen, Navy is pretty popular and therefore more competitive...I have a few other people from CT in my company at...

I finished my application Oct. 16th for the Oct. 19th deadline. I heard back about interviews before the end of October, about a week or so before the actual interview was scheduled. Hang in there! Waiting is tough but Murphy's office was very professional and organized and will let you know...

When I applied, the response to organize an interview was done via email. I will check out the timeline for when I submitted and when I heard back if you'd like? Best of luck!

"If you are found scholastically qualified but do not receive a Letter of Assurance, you will be competing for an Offer of Appointment from within your nominating sources. Approximately 3,000 candidates are found fully qualified (scholastic, medical, CFA, and have obtained a nomination) each...

In that case, he's a very thorough troll...he's on the USNA Candidates Facebook group as well.

Between USNA and NROTC? Dean Latta said in the future he hoped to make the process more interconnected between the two, but during my process I had to submit to each place independently.

If it makes anyone feel better, I received an appointment without being part of the NHS. There are many other factors involved, but it's not all over if you're not in. I wish someone had told me this last year-I was so anxious about not being able to check that box on the app. I thought I'd put...

I believe once the info is entered, an email is sent to the teacher with the instructions for the recommendation/evaluation. If you send it now, you risk the email getting lost or forgotten in the coming months. October is still early in the process so waiting might be a safer plan.

While informative, the website does not speak to the difficulty of the validation tests, nor the issue of AP scores not being available until after I Day. So....same question from me tooooooooo!!!!!

Stew has a PFT/CFA specific book for service academy physical prep. I used it to train for my CFA with great results. Highly recommend!
