This thread about plebe communication made me laugh. We have the same problem of getting info from our plebe during our brief intermittent phone calls. This weekend I had the opportunity to visit. Our communication has been so limited my wife gave me a list of questions to ask her. I...

It also depends on squad. My plebe's squad still doesn't rate media on deck even on liberty time. They currently do one way p-way, 24 hour blues and battle buddie escort. So freedom and how restrictive your time, can be less or more than other plebes.

I was in same boat. Just received a VP nomination.

I was told by admissions on my visit Friday. This year they will have record amount of applicants. Acceptance rate around 6% and they believe over 90% offered appointments will accept. I was told the admittance numbers are expected to be identical to Stanford's.

Thanks for the advise. I emailed my admissions contact and they are going to set up a visit. I am hoping the visit will help finalize my decision. I feel blessed to have choices and I know I cant go wrong with either one, but it is still stressful. I appreciate reading everyone's...

Does USNA offer appointee visits?

What I have been told from recent Grads. It is a 1 for 1 trade. More apply to cross commission to Navy from Air Force. This is due to people wanting to be pilots but do not meet Air Force pilot requirements, but do meet Navy. I am told their is a slight difference in vision standards...

I had appointments to the other Service Academies but I was waiting on USNA because it was my first choice. Over a month ago my congressman’s staffer and called and said if I had made up my mind. When I told them I was waiting on Usna he informed me it probably wasn’t going to happen. He...

This is what I was told by my sister a 2015 Grad. It works several ways. If you are recognized for an accomplishment, usually academic. Some Congressman like to know to send out a congratulatory letter or some type of Congressional recognition. They sometimes do this around graduation also...

It is funny just last night my mom said she preferred being ignorant to the process. Being the second time (sister a 2015 grad) and knowing what is expected and what is going to happen to me will make it harder :) . So to the new parents, maybe ignorance is bliss.

It was updated to the higher gpa, when originally posted on portal.

I was always curious about this. I don’t come from a “top high school” and USAFA raised my already weighted GPA.

Received my official appointment today! Thanks for everyone’s help

This happened to me. Sen. Cornyn sent a letter saying I didn't get his nomination because Sen. Cruz was nominating me and they do not double nominate. Sen. Cruz office called and congratulated me on getting his nomination, but they were pulling the nomination because my local MOC wanted to...

Received a call from Senator Cruz’s office saying I got his nomination to USNA but since they don’t double nominate they are withdrawing the nomination. Not sure how to feel about this. Lol

I just received the call from my MOC nomination to USAFA and USNA

Congrats! That is the email. You will be able to go into Bears Den to get further information.
