    BGO's Interview and aftermath

    BGOs have an area coordinator that should be made aware of any unprofessional behavior. Your DS could reach out to the Admissions Counselor and ask for area coordinator contact info. The conversation could go like this "I apologize if I'm stepping out of bounds here but my interview went like...

    Rollercoaster Round 2

    Should be automatic when 40% of the app is complete and they send the info to DODMERB requesting the eval. The candidates I work with (BGO) didn't have to take any action.

    Interview

    If you don't own/can't afford a suit don't sweat it. Presentation is what matters more (clean, tucked in, good communication skills, etc). Resumes are really helpful but if you don't have a formal one try to write/type/email the activities that don't appear on the candidate activities...

    Attire at USNA Chapel for PPW

    Agree with all the above. Like I said I err on my church conservative side but really truly smart casual is good and also looks good in the post chapel plebe-parent pics! Just have fun.

    Attire at USNA Chapel for PPW

    Having been there several times I would suggest you dress in traditional church attire. There will be random visitors there in shorts and flip flops (we call them slippers) but you don't want to take a chance of being under dressed and meeting a company commander it friends. It's not that big of...

    Free Period - How Bad?

    You should make your schedule as competitive as possible. USNA is primarily a STEM school. Make sure you have a math and science your senior year,

    Envelope in mail

    She should proceed with the application. As a BGO I have had candidates get both letters this year. If you have a candidate number you can complete the app. Have her log into CIS and get started. It seems quite a few candidates got both letters.

    Completed application

    Yes. Unless you receive an LOA when they meet, you likely won't hear anything else until after your MOC submits noms

    Envelope in mail

    It could be an official candidate letter or a letter telling her about local admissions forums etc. as others have stated NASS acceptance has no bearing on receiving an appointment and approx 2/3 of each class did not attend NASS.

    Candidate Visit Weekend?

    It isn't a "leg up" in the admissions process but it's a great opportunity for you to gain new insight into life at USNA. I commend you on continuing your pursuit and suggest you go. Good luck-hopefully 3rd time is the charm. They don't send out "blanket" invitations to all candidates.

    Who Receives Letters of Recommendation?

    The Afmissiond board will really only consider LORs Forman additional source (other than Math and English teachers and BGO interview) if they add additional info. 3-4 LIRs saying you are great and should get an appointment will not help. An additional LOR from a military officer who can say...

    Enlisted to Naval Academy

    Elena it is rude. Because the application process is slightly different for enlisted military this is a fair question. Aircrew I know there were some on other threads who offered to help perhaps you can find those posts and PM the posters. Also, the enlisted applicant contact in the admissions...

    What Are My Chances?

    https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/FAQ.php Foreign language enhances competitiveness. The reason I said ask your AC is because the academic qualification is more than a straight grade based qualification.

    What Are My Chances?

    Ask your admissions counselor this question.

    Touchy Topic for USNA Personal Statement?

    Did you or will you disclose it on DODMERB? You should. If the experience impacted your character/integrity (and the question you posed could call it into question) then you should write about it. I would suggest you not write about being conflicted about disclosing it.
