My son got an LOA back in November. He had already been medically qualified. After his LOA arrived he got sick with encephalitis and was DQ. He just found out his waiver was denied. Is there anything he can do to get USNA to reconsider his case? He has not shown any neurological...

My son was medically qualified and received an appointment to USNA. He had a case of encephalitis in November and now needs a waiver. The USNA doctor wants him to get a sleep deprived EEG. My question is about the test results. Since USNA will be paying for the test can we get a copy of the...

If your school does not rank then it does not rank. Many schools do not rank their students. My son was accepted to NASS and USNA from a school that does not rank. We did not try to estimate his class rank.

Proudpatriot's son, FL-20 Congressional Nomination received today November 26.

My son's application was done Aug 8, BGO interview, Aug 11. LOA was dated 11/15. Nomination received 11/16. Appt papers today!!! (11/26).

Nomination is from Congressional Rep Debbie Wasserman Shultz. He had been DODMERB qualified but he will need a medical waiver for a recent encephalitis infection. We are hopeful that he gets that from USNA.

My son has received an LOA from USNA and a nomination from our congressional representative. That's the good news. He had completed his medical requirements without any problem. He recently had encephalitis and his current status is that he is not medically qualified. Under the standards of...

Thank you all. They did ask for the guidance department to send an email updating his application.

Congratulations on your appointment!

My son applied to to USNA. He has been granted interviews by all three MOC (they are in Oct/Nov). Since he completed his application he has been named captain of the football team, improved his ACT scores, been inducted to an additional honor society and been named an AP Scholar. He...

My son was told by his BGO that his ACTs were very competitive and they are slightly lower than the OP. The OP's overall academic profile is very strong.

I think our sons must have been at AFA together. Is your son used to the altitude at AFA? My son is a linebacker so he runs quite a bit. Hi run time was lower at AFA than USNA. We are from Fl and I am sure the altitude affected him.

He said he passed. He's really really fit but who does stuff like the bb throw in real life?

Do they tell the kids if they passed if they take it at NASS? My son texted me his scores and they were: 75 push ups 15 pull ups 6:10 mile 59 ft bb throw 8.5 s shuttle run 80 sit ups I assume this is passing even though the throw is low. He didn't say whether he passed it or not.

I agree but NASS would not be the appropriate time for that (IMO). It is a time for students to experience USNA on their own. Part of the experience should be getting there. I think that many parents shelter thier kids to the point that they do not know how to do thing that 17 year olds...

NASS is for the kids NOT THE PARENTS so I am wondering why parents even go.
