Will you send the link to the applicant handbook please?

Silly question but what’s the username and password to get to the page where you enter your name, SSN, and candidate ID?

I’m so sorry to here that. I wish your DS the best of luck in the future. What is an academic denial? Did his test scores meet the minimums?

I actually have a related question. I’ve been medically qualified and physically qualified with my application complete since November. I assume I’m academically qualified as well with a 33 ACT on both math and English. My status has not changed from “App on File” at all. Does this simply mean...

I believe the CO was referencing to the fact that this particular school is an Ivy League and has an acceptance rate of 10% give or take. He told me I have a strong package for the school as is, but if I showed him a desire to attend by switching to early decision, he’d find a way to assure me...

The CO of the NROTC unit at my top choice civilian university called me and said my chances of acceptance would go from 10% to 99% if I changed my application from regular decision to early decision. Keep in mind I already have an NROTC scholarship in hand. Early decision is binding and I would...

Once in the national pool, is geographical representation not a factor anymore? Do they just take the top 150 regardless of where they come from?

How fierce is the competition in the national pool? I hear that all non winners of the congressional slates are placed into this pool and compete for a spot in the top 150. Do a lot of recruited athletes/minorities come from the national pool? I’d appreciate if anyone could explain the process a...

I understand USNA will look at my school profile and determine the academic competitiveness. However, for the nomination aspect, the MOC’s don’t require a school profile. All they’ll see is my GPA and class ranking. How do I work around this? Should I have my counselor attach the school profile...

Basically I want to know if I’m academically qualified for USNA or if I have more of a prep school application. The only reason I ask is because class rankings came out today and I’m not as high as I thought. Rank: 111 out of 377 (top 30%) Unweighted: 3.75 Weighted: 4.2 10 AP/dual enrollment...

Is a 30 the average super scored or single sitting amongst the incoming class?

My background is a 30 on the ACT math section lol!

1) Although it isn’t the “most rigorous math class” offered at my school, it is still a very difficult class. Both Calc AB and BC are AP courses if that makes a difference. 2) I’m not necessary looking for the easier route, but more so looking for a slower paced calculus class to better learn...

I opted for the most rigorous course selection my school offers. My counselor granted my request because of my previous successes in math classes. But I have quickly learned in my first week of school, I have not been adequately prepared for Calc BC because as you said, I haven’t taken Calc AB yet.

So I’m a week into my senior year and I’m already confused in math. Currently I’m enrolled in AP Calc BC. Should I drop Calc BC and replace it with AP Calc AB? I would hate to have a C or a D on my transcript first semester of senior year. If I spent 3-4 hours studying a day, I would maybe be...

What are the advantages to submitting your complete application in August vs October/November? I have read constantly that many people have already submitted their applications or are waiting on one last piece. I’m curious to know if early filing would give a huge advantage in the selection...

This happened to me literally yesterday. It was so frustrating. As far as the activities portion, I just kept trying and trying then all of a sudden it worked. I’m sorry I don’t have the solution, but my recommendation is to keep persevering. I think it finally worked on chrome for me. What...

I agree with everything you stated. However, please excuse my misunderstanding, but wouldn’t the OP have a V30 Q32 after combining the highest Eng/Read and Math/Sci scores obtained from any test date?

I would ensure that my ACT superscore is the highest I can get it even if my single sitting score lacks.

Is the 33 ACT your son’s best sitting? Remember that USMMA will superscore so use that to your advantage. Personally I would give it one more try in July solely focusing on improving math and science, and that’s it!! Find an organized sports league and participate. Or play a sport through a...
