I am going to be a Sophomore this year in High School and really want to attend the Naval Academy. Should I contact my Blue and Gold Officer now or wait later?
BGOs are usually assigned by specific high schools so the BGO for this potential candidate can be identified. Generally,the guidance dept of the High School will now who the BGO is but if they don't, contact the Area Coordinator (contact info at USNA's website) and they will put the candidate in touch with the proper BGO.I don't believe that you get assigned to a Blue and Gold Officer until after you start the application process. I believe that the earliest you can start the application process is January 1st of your Junior year when you can apply to NASS. So you are WAY early to be thinking of contacting a Blue and Gold Officer. You need to focus on making grades, ECA's and next summer start preparing to take the SAT in the fall of Junior year. If you have questions about the admissions process, contact the USNA admissions office and ask for their guidance. If I am incorrect, the BGO's on this forum will chime in.
