This page shows several options that may be open to your son: https://www.usma.edu/admissions/Shared%20Documents/CFA_Instructions.pdf I believe that even though that’s a West Point document, it should still be applicable to USNA, since the CFA is mostly standardized across the academies...

I was former Civil Air Patrol (Semper Vigilans!) and also went to Boys State, so hopefully I can offer a little insight. In terms of your application, it’s no contest that Girls State will have a much higher impact on your WCS than encampment staff - there’s a reason your candidate application...

1. Yes, every appointment is tied to a nomination source, in one way or another, whether its a congressional nomination, a presidential nomination, or any other nomination source. 2. You don't have to officially "accept" nominations (I didn't have to last year when I was nominated), I believe...

Chances are, this was the Senator's year to have two candidate slots. Each MoC is allotted 5 cadets/midshipmen in each of the service academies (USCGA and USMMA excluded), so it usually works out that every 4 years, a MoC gets two candidate slots for an academy, and thus was able to nominate up...

I can't really say with much certainty what average or competitive is, but as I understand it, if you're studying a more technical major (STEM, especially engineering) and you're at a highly ranked university, a 3.2 GPA is certainly not a bad or noncompetitive GPA. I'm in a similar situation as...

IN-03 reporting, got the principal nom for USNA! Still waiting to hear from Senator Joe Donnelly though, but it’s a weight off my chest for sure.

Thank you for the information! This is exactly what I was looking for when I asked this question.

I definitely intend to ask about it. My representative is holding an "Academy Day" on Saturday where I'll be able to meet with my BGO, so I intend to ask him then. I might also call the admissions office to see what they have to say about it. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice! I did mention to him how critical this evaluation was, and how I believed this evaluation was much different than a letter of recommendation, and I think that's the main reason he agreed to it in the end. I do make an effort to have him know me - I always ask him questions...

I've got a question regarding letters of recommendations from math instructors: A little background, I'm a college freshman intending to reapply to USNA as a college sophomore. Today, I asked my Calc II professor if he would be willing to recommend me for the Academy. He told me that, on...

Does anyone know what the policy for previous college classes? I know that USNA doesn't accept transfer credit, but would you be eligible to take certain validation exams if you've previously taken the same class equivalent (e.g. Calculus I or Chemisty I), even if you don't have AP scores to...

No, I didn't apply this year. I'm trying to do a little early planning so that I can apply as a sophomore and get my application in as soon as possible. But once I truly start the application process, I'll keep in mind about asking my BGO to for help with this.

Just got a reply from USNA admissions. They said that using my communications instructor would likely not be acceptable, and they've advised me to go back to my high school and re-use my high school English teacher again, seemingly in contrast to the policy that a sophomore is required to use a...

I'll go ahead and do that later today, thank you. I'll post what they say once I get an answer in case anyone else runs into the same problem that I have.

Candidate reapplying to USNA as a college sophomore

I'm a current college freshman thinking about reapplying to USNA as a college sophomore. I realize the application process is a while away, but I'm trying to get my ducks in line ahead of time. My biggest concern right now is what I should do for a letter of recommendation from an English...
