So I started my application in the spring. As time passed, I began having doubts about attending an academy. I could not definitively say if I wanted to go or not, and as my counselor stated, "attending a service academy is like marriage, if you have doubts it's likely not the right choice." So...

So I have read that the admissions board only looks at english and math sections of the ACT. Thankfully for me, these are my strongest two sections. I have also read that the average ACT score is usually round a 31. Is this average just off of the english and math or does it include the science...

I already know what the answer is (as hard as I can take), but I would still like to ask based on my current situation. So I am currently in Precalculus Honors. I have a decent grade in it, B/B+. I was wondering what math course I should take next year. My current situation is that both of my...

Ok, this leads me to another question. These are all courses I am planning on taking 7th semester. I saw that the application requirements say at least first 6 semesters. Does this mean that I cannot send my 7th semester reports, or am I able to send it to them so long as I get it there by the...

I have taken AP US History and am taking AP World next semester. So would a course like AP English Language and Composition be good? It is the only AP English offered for Seniors.

Next year I am taking either AP AB or Honors Calculus (depending how I finish my Pre-Calc Honors course), AP Comp Science AP Psychology and AP Spanish. I am also taking Honors Physics. Is this a senior year course load that would be appealing to admissions?

so I’ve noticed that in just about everything that has anything to do with naval academy admissions, it says that you must have a strong base in math and science. I was wondering what a strong base is considered. I have gotten all B’s in honors math courses. (My school is known for its...

So I recently met with the coach of the offshore sailing team during a visit this past week, and have a few questions. I have his email, so I might contact him with these questions, but I thought id test my luck here first. First question: Does the team workout? I am oddly stressed about this...

I was talking to someone I know who was recruited to navy 8 or so years ago. He said he enjoyed it, but one of the biggest regrets he has is not getting a leadership role his first class year. I was wondering if the fact that he didn’t get a leadership role was because he played a varsity sport...

So I am starting to get ready to visit the academy, and my mom still won't let me because, and I quote, "My room is too messy, you'd be kicked out in the first week." I won't lie, my room is that of any other teenagers. I rarely make my bed, and there are some clothes on my floor. But my counter...

Okay, good to know. Also, I enjoy playing golf, but I am not good enough to be on the varsity team, so could I play a round on Saturdays with my free time? And if there is a football game away, say at Lehigh, where my sister goes, would I be able to attend it?

so I guess that means meals are spent staring straight and not being allowed to talk?

once, maybe twice a month

So just a few questions, some general, some specific. First, how restricted are plebes? I have read things that make it seem like all they can do is sit and look forward while at lunch. Is this true? I have seen videos that make the scene inside the dining hall seem very lively, so was...

So since last fall, when my school gave a presentation to the students about the service academies, I have been developing a passion to attend Navy. Growing up around water and boating, I had always known I wanted to do some sort of maritime career, so the being in the navy seems like a great...

So for an example that relates to me, would I maybe talking about the time I was the skipper of a boat I helped lead to a top five finish in my region? Or about the time I helped the kids at my sailing camp after our boat's mast fell down?

Hello, thanks for the reply. What are some examples of actions over titles. Every year my swim coach gives out a leadership award, and all people on the team are eligible except for the captains, so would this be something that falls under that category? Thanks

yes, I have several

Hello, I am back at it again asking questions as I begin looking into applying. So I feel like my grades are pretty solid for applying, maybe a few B's in classes I should've gotten A's in, but anyway I have a few questions regarding leadership, a place that I am worried may hurt my application...

So I have a Summer job at a day camp. I am a counselor at a sailing camp for 4 hours a day 5 days a week. I am responsible for the teaching and safety of 4-8 kids in aged 8-14. I also teach private sailing lessons to adults on weekends. Is this something that would be beneficial on my...
