Thank you for the response. The #1 reason for me trying to go into the military is to serve my country. However, I have other reasons as well, such as wanting to do something with my life in which I will look back and think, "Yeah, at least I made a little bit of difference in the world and did...

Thank you all so much for the responses, I greatly appreciate it. This thread really cleared things up for me. Essentially, what went wrong with my application, at least I believe, was a silly mistake on my part and something genuinely out of my control. I live in NY and I did get called for...

Hey, Thanks to everyone on here who helped me with my application to the USNA last year. I received no nomination so I know I'm going to be rejected. Next year I do plan to reapply (following all the procedures layed out on the USNA's website) but I have a few questions. 1. When I reapply for...

Hey everyone. I submitted my materials for the nomination in mid October (before the deadlines) and today's November 10th, and I still haven't received any emails calling me for an interview. Specifically for Congressman Dan Donovan (and it says on his website that an email will be sent anywhere...

Hey, thank you for the very lengthy response. I really appreciate it. Ill apply for the NROTC scholarship and if I don't get it, I'll join anyways through the college program. I feel like 1 year of college will be a good idea as my application needs strengthening. Thanks again.

I see. Ok thanks for the insight everyone. Ill keep it direct and to the point and Ill try to look for a different topic, to me though, public speaking wasn't just hard... I would get nausea before hand, excrete a gallon of sweat, and stutter like a maniac once up on stage lol.

Sorry for 2 threads in a row (just felt like this one needed a different thread). One question on the application is asking about "an experience that contributed to my character development and integrity". Would writing about how overcoming my fear of public speaking be safe, or would it make me...

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if it would be okay to use some main parts of the essays that I wrote for my senators and congressional nominations considering that both essays, are asking very similar questions? Also, would it be okay to use the same essay (more or less) for multiple...

Thank you for the responses. Ill see what I can do.

Hey everyone. Right now, Im a little confused. I realize that I need to include 3 letters of recommendations for one of my nomination applications. I have one application already, but the other two applications are on the Common App for all the other colleges that I plan to apply to. In order...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Yeah, I figured it would just be of minimal help, at least it's something though as I don't think my overall application (specifically in ECs) will stand out that much so anything helps. Also, in response to USNA1985, Russian was my first language before...

Particularly languages like Arabic, Russian, Chinese, etc. I'm wondering because Im Russian-American and Im fluent in reading, writing, and speaking the language. This is demonstrated in my resume as Ive had 3 years of AP Russian at my school and scored a perfect score (5) on the AP Russian...

I took AP Environmental my Junior year (taking AP Physics next year) and from my experience, its a useless class (you could self study for the AP test and still do decent). Take honors physics instead for sure, IMHO.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate you posting that thread gokings. I mean, I did play sports all throughout my life (I have records that I can provide)... but I doubt they'll care about that since they weren't done throughout the majority of my HS years. I swam competitively for 8 years...

Another question guys, will application to the USNA automatically consider you for the NROTC scholarship as well?

Ok, thanks for the advice guys. Yeah... I figured my ECs weren't up to standard. I guess ill look around some more before deciding if I should start training for the CFA right now or spend my time doing something else.
