    MA Nominations

    If I were you I would try to find one, maybe two of the Academies that you really really want. IMHO it is too risky to differentiate amongst your rankings. I have heard of candidates doing that and not getting nominations to their top choice just because they thought it wise to rank the...

    MA Nominations

    Does not really increase your chances per say, but having more than one nomination simply pools you with a different slate of candidates to compete with. So in a sense, I don't believe one nomination has anything to do with the others, but rather they are all separate and it really doesn't...

    Qualified Candidates?

    Being a qualified candidate means you are Triple Qualified in three main areas determined by various factors. The three areas are Medically (cleared by Dodmerb), physically/athletically (determined by successful completion and passing on your CFA) and scholastically (determined by admissions...

    How important is class rank?

    Don't stress yourself out about the things you no longer control. Your class rank is what it is and I am sure (although limited knowledge) that candidates have been appointed with lesser stats. Also, as said numerous times on this forum, the admissions ranks candidates as a whole person...

    No Nomination, but hopeful?

    I have an almost identical story to the one above. I was a recruited athlete last year to Navy (Soccer), but in the end I chose not to follow through and therefore did not receive an appointment. I instead attended a 4-year private college, excelled in plebe-like courses (Chemistry, Calculus...

    NROTC-MO Scholarship

    I told USNA that I was a recipient of an Army ROTC scholarship and am in fact in College now as a contracted cadet. They viewed it very positively and I believe it shows true dedication to wanting to serve regardless of the path you take and wanting to become the best officer you can. Whether...

    CVW question

    I think with the extra time you have it is basically up to you. My parents and I are going to a CVW as well and similar to you we will be arriving early with time to spare and we will probably find a nearby restaurant to eat at.

    NAPS possibility.

    I too was a college applicant in the engineering program. I finished with a 3.6 GPA as well and received recommendations from my english and calculus teachers, so we seem to be pretty similar applicants. You definitely have the grades for the Academy so prep school probably wont be an option for...
