Does anyone know the percentage of mids who end up having to take summer school? My son told me ALOT of his 4/c class were having to take summer school, and I wondered how common it really is.
My DD says a couple hundred mids go to summer school every year, almost as many as the incoming class at INDOC. There are additional mids who fail a class and lag the class (overload on credits and retake it during academic year) rather than going to summer school. It's a tough curriculum.Does anyone know the percentage of mids who end up having to take summer school?

I think summer school was tougher to schedule in the quarter system. I also think the approach was more sink or swim back in the dark ages when we attended.Holy Schneikies BatMan!!! When I did summer school it was only like a dozen.
That's crazy. 30% of the plebe class is in summer school, and license pass rates were weak for seniors. Seems like an issue worth investigating for the administration.
Do they get a summer break at all if they have to go to summer school?
Don't you have to work it if you are a first half Midn Officer? If you work it after plebe year and end up an officer 1/C year, you'll work it twice?You will only have to work INDOC one time. I would recommend working it after your plebe year to get it over with and to give you more time later to work any more internships you might want to try during the summer.
My understanding is that only EMTs have to work INDOC twice.Don't you have to work it if you are a first half Midn Officer?

What KP Eng posted is true, if you're a midshipman officer you'll be working it as a 1/C so I'd delay delay delay delay, besides, by the time you're a 1/C it's easier to find an excuse not to work it, you need an internship, or you've got something important going on, or more sea time or something.
