Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but considering that there are only two categories that can be compared equally and are not in any way subjective. The CFA and SAT/ACT. Everyone takes the same test and results are easily compared. I would have to say those are the most important...

Just my 2 cents. An explanation on firearm nomenclature and the understanding of how it goes bang would be worth it. As was said above, I would agree that marksmanship skills should be left to the Navy.

Moe. Larry. Curly. Ok. I'm done.

Or....... Always. Checking. Portal.

Clear. As. Mud.

Ah. Now I get it. I also understand your concerns. Let me ask you this. If you were in a position to hire someone for your company and you have a choice between two candidates. Candidate #1 graduated with a 4.0 GPA in barely college level classes or candidate #2 that very clearly pushed...

RunningMoose, I have not read or heard at any time, or anywhere, that being in the top 5% of your class is anything but highly competitive. Everything else looks great as well. Keep up the good work. Out of curiosity. Why would you think that being in the top 5% of your class is problematic?

I think I'm gonna put Labrador on speed dial for when my DD needs some help! Get ready for your computer to be inundated with messages! :welcome1:

My Dad would argue that you could have both! While in the Air Force he was stationed in the worst place possible. The incredibly inhospitable terrain of a little place called Bermuda! Let me tell you, he had it rough.;)

I think there a two crucial skills that get left out of discussions regarding preparation for SA appointments. Essay composition and interview skills. At your age, you have plenty of time to master both. I would suggest getting a solid understanding of crafting an essay and perhaps finding...

I think the rule is that a federal government employee is allowed to accept a gift if that same gift is offered to the public. For instance an upgrade at a hotel, flight, or rental car if enrolled in the companies programs. Or discounts on certain days at amusement parks that offer a public...

Hey Tom Cruise Jr. I respect your desire to compromise with your parents. It's far too easy to say it's my life and I'll do with it the way I like. Your a fine young man! True maturity. Besides if it doesn't work out you could be a bartender with flair on a far away paradise island! Did I just...

Your welcome. I would be interested in knowing if you extrapolate any data points from your analysis. Please post any findings.

This is the closest list I could find regarding your question. An interesting read. Hope this helps.http://hosted.ap.org/specials/interactives/wdc/documents/military_academy_nominations.pdf

I have posted this before. I hope that it will be helpful for those that may not have had a chance to read it.

I have been on the forum for a short while now, and these types of questions are difficult for me to understand. By no means is my response directed to the OP individually but as a whole. You are a Junior with 20 bullet points that require a huge amount of time investment, in addition to the...

Just curious. Can one have a LOA and be on the wait list?

Thanks 5Day. Exactly the info I was looking for. I'll share your post with her.

Any input would be appreciated. My DD received a TWE from the Naval Academy. She has a full tuition scholarship to a University that has a NROTC unit. Would there be any benefit to apply for a ROTC scholarship? If there is, when should she do so? If not, should she apply to the unit anyway? I...

WonderGirl. I truly can empathize with you, and I know it's hard just sitting and waiting. When it was me agonizing over the wait, wondering about my DD it occurred to me that nothing changes with or without information. That is to say that those candidates that were told about the status of...
