    I failed AP Physics B...

    Thanks for clearing that up. Haha, are there kids that think they can just do bad the entire year and go to summer school to make it up? Thanks again.

    I failed AP Physics B...

    So, if someone fails AP/Honors and retakes the regular class over the summer and gets a 99%, does that help them a lot? Or is that just expected of every applicant (doing really well in summer school)?

    How do former students from my school affect my chances?

    Well, 5 years ago the girl that was first in her class fresh-junior year and a minority was accepted to USNA. Last year my friend who was top 10% and a very athletic minority was accepted to NAPS. They both got 31 on the ACT. My grades are a lot better than his, but I'm not a minority and I'm...

    USNA Marine

    Well, that's clever. I know how to not get selected: don't be too smart. Right? Haha, that was a joke. However, how doesn't someone not get put into something they don't want? Put Special Warfare and things you won't get for sure after your first choice? I think I've heard that before.

    Speeding Ticket

    What if I never get any tickets? I doubt that would have a big effect, but.... I could be extremely careful, haha.

    They caught the book thief

    That was sarcasm. I am a very sarcastic person, and I think it's appropriate to be sarcastic on an online forum (as long as I don't offend anyone). Now if I was talking to a MOC/BGO, it wouldn't be the best idea. Especially since I am so good at being sarcastic that people think: does he really...

    They caught the book thief

    That's one way to look at it. At some interview, I will probably say "well, I won't steal 400 textbooks at the academy..." that would be funny, right? That's a lot of time to serve AD, and it was a 1/C. wow

    They caught the book thief

    400 books. If, when I'm a junior, and I apply and get a TWE I will think: a book thief got in, but not me. That is really surprising... 400 books... wow

    Shin Splints

    Well, it seems that everyone here did XC and not track? I'm doing long distance track and will do XC next season (+conditioning). We have athletes that get shin splits, but they don't really take a break/etc. Is it a lot less common to get shin splits from long distance track? Or do most...

    USAFA vs USNA ... decision stuck...

    Navy, because landing on an aircraft carrier is cooler than landing on the ground. It takes more skill :p I'm sure some Navy pilots can back that up? ;)

    USNA Candidate Visit Weekend

    Also, I just wanted to say, if you know a mid at NAPS who will be a plebe next year, he can hook you up with a mattress. CVW should be more fun since I went to school with the plebe I will shadow.

    Illinois.... Compared to other states?

    To the letter, got it. I think I will ask my counselor when is the soonest I can know my teachers for next year, to know who to impress if I see them before the next school year, haha. Thanks for all the help.

    Second Time's the Charm

    Congrats. Can you share more? Maybe why you think you got it this time but not last year? And did you do NROTC or not?

    Illinois.... Compared to other states?

    I'm a sophomore, I apply next year. I will look at his website. Also, NJROTC nominations go into a pool of candidates competing for 20 nominations? Is that true?

    Illinois.... Compared to other states?

    Ok. Are principal (aka 1st choice?) nominations for Senators only? Or do all MOCs get them? And for a house of rep.'s principal, is it from all of his districts or each one?

    Illinois.... Compared to other states?

    Well, I'm in Illinois, and I've heard that certain states are more competitive and some are less. Where would Illinois fit in? If anyone is interested in which Congressional district I am in, I would probably reveal that over PM. Any good news would be nice, haha.
