Two important points to keep in mind. First, USNA generally doesn’t even consider waivers less they are likely to offer an appointment. IOW, they can decide on a turndown for non-medical reasons and never get to the medical issues. I can’t speak to how other SAs approach waivers. Second...

NASS never makes a “huge difference” in anyone’s package, though it often makes a huge difference in a decision to apply. We frequently preach that being selected doesn’t mean you’re going to be appointed just as being turned down for NASS doesn’t mean you’ll have the same fate with USNA...

Parents . . . while it may go in one ear and out the other, caution your kids to be smart on summer break. A number of years ago, a mid at Protramid in San Diego thought it would be a good idea to eat gummies laced with MJ. Then took a joy ride in a friend's car. Got caught by the police...

This time of year is always hard. Most of the folks on this site are super-achieving, hard-working, all-around great young men and women. For many, college admissions represents their first real "rejection" in life as most won't get into every college to which they applied. I didn't. I think...

First, one grade in one course is extremely unlikely to be “disqualifying” if the academic record is o/w strong. Second, I wouldn’t make the assumption it was the one course that made the difference. USNA asks for 7th semester grades for some candidates as an extra data point. In some cases...

This is true but IMO also somewhat misleading in terms of raw numbers. The overwhelming majority of candidates who are not direct appoints (i.e., directly from h.s.) come from the SA Prep School or (for USNA) Foundation program. For USNA last year, 210 come from NAPS and another roughly 40...

The main reason plebes go home on I-Day is because they want to. Almost every year, at least a few want to leave and anywhere from 0 to a handful actually do. Must confess I've never understood it and understand it a lot less in these days of so much information available to incoming plebes...

^^^^ Agree.

Folks, when it comes to ECAs, it is more important to do what you enjoy, stick with it, and move up in its organization than to try to pick ECAs that will "look good" for SAs. As I've mentioned many times (and as is stated in one of the stickies), USNA is not so much concerned with WHAT you...
