    Class of 2007 Info Hey, if a BGO says it, of course it's true...lol Your service selection numbers are in the ballpark. I know that they are close to the C/o 2005, 2008 and 2009 numbers. As my DD (class of '07) approached service selection, she and her classmates had a very good...

    Update of file-too late?

    Never Give Up Have your son call his BGO. She or he can put in a note in the BGIS immediately, and then follow up with a phone call to the area coord on Monday. Team Captain helps. Until the Admissions board has made their choice known, I'd say it is never too late. Go for it! Good...

    SAT vs ACT

    Superscoring ACT/SAT True. The USNA admissions folks take your best scores on your best days on your best tests and convert and combine them. Ex: An ACT 32 Math and a SAT1 700 English. Navy ROTC does not. They use your best test overall score on your best day. Ex: Your June ACT...

    seal/wings

    As Capt MJ points out, the number of SEALS in the Navy is extremely small, thus the number of SEALs that come to USNA as prior enlisted will be very small as well. There is no policy that would out-of-hand reject SEALs.
