Hi, I'm a college freshman and this is my second time applying to USNA. I had sort of had a poor first semester as far as grades go (2.35 gpa, Mechanical Engineering major), but I'm also on the varsity swim team (Division 3) that lasts from September 15th - February 14th. I go to a private...

Ok so I'm a college reapplicant and about a month ago I sent my RD three updates about my activities, being 1) I've been on my school's varsity swim team (D3) for the duration of the season (Sept-Feb) 2)I've been on the Men's club water polo team and 3)I joined the American Society of Mechanical...

Would a nomination from a Senator have more "weight" or "value" than a nomination from just a local MOC? Would a SA give a candidate more value if he/she was nominated by a Senator vs MOC? I was nominated by my MOC last year but this year I feel I have a good chance at a Senator nom - hopefully...

I was just notified by one of my Senators that my interview will be in about 5 weeks. When I submitted my nom package online, it asked what SA I would like to be nominated to. I put USNA but now I am looking into USMMA as well. TBH, I can't remember if it gave the option for selecting 2 SA's...

Since I am reapplying to USNA, my local MOC's rep told me that I will need only 1 letter of recommendation for my nomination package this time, as opposed to the standard 3. She said the LOR had to be from a college professor. The thing is, I've been a college freshman for only just under a...

Ok so I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer. Yesterday I got an email from one of the Admissions Counselors and it said this: Dear USNA Candidate, My name is _____________ and I work for the Office of Admissions at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) in Annapolis, Maryland...

I was declined for USNA class of 2018, but I have re-applied and will be going to college for a year. M question is: Is it worth the time to get involved in D3 swimming (or perhaps intramural swimming), or would that time be better spent focusing on academics/ECA's and hammering out the CFA? I...

So, I got the TWE this Saturday, but I have 2 questions about I-Day. 1) If, for some reason, an appointee from my district was not able to report on I-Day, would there be some incredibly remote chance that I would be offered his/her appointment even though I got the TWE? Is this scenario...

Ok so I submitted the VP nomination earlier today and I got the message of: Thank you for your Military Academy application. Results of this year's nomination process will be announced March of next year. Best of luck, The Military Academy Nomination Team The deadline for the VP...

Hi, I'm a candidate for the class of 2018 and I have a congressional nomination already, so I'm wondering if it is worth it to apply for the VP nomination online? From what I have read, only a few of these nominations are given out? (Correct me if I am wrong). Also, does the Academy...

I had interviews with both Senators Casey and Toomey and they said I should know early/mid January if I get a nomination...anyone else from PA have any news about possibly getting one? I probably just need to sit tight.. hard to though :shake:

Hi. I have a question about the degrees at USNA. I know that everyone gets a B.S. due to all the math and science courses that are mandatory, but what exactly does your chosen major do for you? Does it affect your service selection? When do you get to use your degree (ex. post-military)? Many...

Hi! I've been reading these forum posts for quite some time now, and today I finally made an account. I'm a HS senior applying for an appointment for USNA class of 2018. All I have yet to do for my profile is submit my essay and then everything is finished (waiting for possible nominations). I'm...
