It's a mystery. I'm a plebe this year. Last year I got an LOA on September 11th. I only had a 26 on the ACT, but I was in great shape and had many leadership/team captain positions. The average SAT scores of those who don't get into the academy are actually higher than the average scores of...

Not sure how this works but I've had an appointment since December! I am an LOA out of Texas. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Hello, I'm an appointee to the class of 2018. My BGO told me to consider the SEALs. I ran in high school and played numerous sports and would say I'm in pretty good shape. However, I was wondering what a good club or sport at the academy would be that would help me with the SEALs. Triathlon...

Hello, do I invite my BGO to my graduation? Will he come on his own? Is there even a chance that he'll come at all? Thanks Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

maybe you'll be appointed off of the national waiting list.

I was a 2:01, 4:40 runner last year. I spoke with the coach. You won't get in as a recruited athlete, but you can definitely tryout and make the team with those times (probably j.v.)…I'm currently a 1:56, 4:30+ runner and I'm considering trying out for j.v.

ACT composite of 26…GPA of 3.9…..Received an LOA in September…..just goes to show that test scores and grades are not the only components looked at. I am not a recruited athlete either. LOA's are case by case, as said above. Personal statements, extracurricular activities, community involvement...

Hello, the USNA received my nomination on the 20th of December, but I have yet to receive my BFE. I already had an LOA that was dependent on the nomination only. How much longer before I receive an official letter of my acceptance ect.? Thank you.

BFE stands for?

LOA was received Sept. 11th. Noms to Navy, AF, and West Point were received tonight! Super excited.

Hello, I will be attending the Naval Academy this upcoming year and would like to know what kind of watch I should get. My parents want to buy me a nice one, but I do not know what features I should look for. I have looked at Luminox, Suunto, G-Shock, and numerous other brands. Should I get a...

Hello, I have an LOA from the USNA. My appointment is solely dependent upon my nomination at this point. Accordingly, I am planning on attending. However, I have a question about life after the academy. You see, my girlfriend just HAS to have an answer :yllol:…If her and I were to get...

Both will offer limitless opportunities in the classroom. Both will offer a military lifestyle. Choose based off of career opportunities...I'm leaning toward the USNA because of the unfathomable amount of career options...West Point puts such an emphasis on infantry. However, the marines are...

Your name on here is John Paul Jones. That's Navy stuff! :shake::shake:

I disagree. Do your very best to make every aspect of your application stand out. An LOA is not guaranteed acceptance. Remember that. Good things happen for those that deserve them. Take your time and write something that the board will love.

Sweet! Congrats! I got mine about 3 weeks ago...Now it's just a waiting game! Praying for a Nom now lol!
