    Guidance Counselor seeking help

    The number one thing you can do is write a letter of recommendation. USMMA requires a letter of recommendation from the applicant's counselor. A letter from a school official doesn't meet the requirement. It has to be you. This is one of the requirements that can hold up the application.

    Q: Regarding Letter of Recommendation for Application

    Admissions is adamant about the letter coming from his counselor. Your DS must go to the counselor and explain that he needs a letter from her. Bring the USMMA application and show the counselor the requirement. My DS obtained a letter from the Dean of Students and USMMA Admissions said we...

    Can Anyone Gauge My Chances/How Competitive Am I?

    Yes, bad timing for DoDMERB website and government shutdown. Stay on top of it. In the meantime, if you can visit KP for an overnight and meet with track and soccer coaches. Good luck!

    Can Anyone Gauge My Chances/How Competitive Am I?

    USMMA is different from the other SA. Each state has a quota and NC gets 6. States like Texas, California, Florida get more... landlocked states typically gets less. If all 6 are taken you aren't done if you are competitive, only admissions knows the answer. If you are competitive you go to...

    Getting a nomination late in the game

    I think it is going to depend on several factors; the MOC, the State, your DS desire to be a licensed Mariner. 1. Complete the application for USMMA ASAP! If he is this late and reaches out and there isn't an application on file, that would stop it dead it tracks. 2. I would have your DS...
