.Congratulations to you! When do you NAPSters expect to receive your appointments? Have you been given a date or do you know when they've gotten them in previous years?

Yes! It is never complete! After submitting, I sent a borderline annoying amount of emails (monthly-ish) (be careful not to send too many, sending enough will make your name familiar tho) and just always updated my new grades, championships, volunteer hours, etc. even if I met an important person I would throw that in there. I became track captain in spring after the app was due which was pretty important so I let them know stuff like thatContinue sending admissions email updates of new volunteer hours, job promotions, leadership positions, sports accomplishments, etc. I would also throw in there if I met with someone important and things like that so they could know me more personally. I knew I would probably get into NAPS but I would send emails to admissions twice a month anyway as though I was anticipating a direct appointment and this actually made my name familiar with the board to help my overall case. Do not leave your application stagnant, ever!
Thank you for answering these questions! I’m curious when you say you kept updating your application and that you never left it stagnant. I’ve completed my application and am a CPR but it’s still possible to email admissions and update them? Or once your application is complete are you done?
People come to NAPS even if their sport isn’t here, but foundation is more likely for those people I think. We don’t have girls’ lax or volleyball, or sailing but we still have one or two of those athletes enrolled hereCurious....What if NAPS does not have your recruited sport? Is that when you go to Foundations vs NAPS?
We will get them around May 5th, but we pretty much know if we’re hitting the standard and are out of trouble that we’re in at this point in the yearCongratulations to you!

You may get an email denying you to Navy and then later on an offer to NAPS, or what happened to me is I didn’t hear my status on the academy in the end, only that I got in to prep. But they won’t send you more than one package; its either one of the two acceptances, or a declination.I have not received a nomination to USNA and I know that I am still in the run for NAPS based on my leadership, reputable evaluation at NASS, and other factors such as diversity. I was wondering if we would receive a TWE in the mail before offered NAPS, or would we not receive a TWE at all?
I was just about to ask about sailing. It's a shame there isn't a team or club at NAPS. Do you know if there is a way to start a sailing program?People come to NAPS even if their sport isn’t here, but foundation is more likely for those people I think.

The base in Newport where NAPS is located has a very active sailing facility with a variety of boats available. Over the years, they have had a couple of former USNA racing dinghys that were used by the intercollegiate team in the past and they were sent up for NAPS. I haven't looked for them in the last couple of years but even if they are not there, there are boats available for you at the base marina and usually some access to racing.I was just about to ask about sailing.

Newport is a massive sailing community. If you want to learn to sail you can on the weekends. NAPS is small. They don’t have enough students, staff, equipment to support tons of sports. They have some core ones. Even then they still recruit guys who aren’t football recruits but played in high school to help round out the NAPS squad. The women’s basketball team often has volleyball recruits on it at NAPS to help round out the roaster. It’s a numbers game. If someone is a recruit and their sport isn’t there I am sure they get a workout plan from the coaches at USNA to prepare.

Most Naval Stations with a harbor have an MWR recreational sailing program.
There is also a NAPS sponsor family program, see link. I don’t know what the NAPSter side of the questionnaire looks like, but if there is a special request area, a request could possibly be put in for a family involved in sailing.
