How does the triathlon club work at USNA? Do members train year round? Can anyone join, or is it difficult to join? Thanks, J.

Who gets offered a CVW? Does it have to do with qualification? Representation? Proximity? Is it a good/bad sign if you do/don't get offered one? Thanks, J.

If Board Qualified just means academically qualified, and the other Qs are medically (DoDMERB) and physically (CFA), where do extracurricular activities (ECAs) fall in? Which "Q" are they under? And how are they objectively measured to add "points" to the whole candidate score? Thanks...

I am just confirming that there are no letters of recommendation as a part of the USNA application. No letters should be sent to the Academy (not including recommendations for VP nom, etc.). I completed my application 2 months ago and didn't see anywhere where it asked for letters. Just...

I completed my PCQ about a week ago, and got a response the next day saying I was "promoted to Candidate Status," and I will receive more information on continuing the application soon. How long is it usually until the rest of the application is "unlocked?" Trying to be patient, but I want...

This question is about the process of the admissions board. In other words, I understand that an appointment is the goal, not an LOA. That being said... If the board reviews your application and does not decide to give you an LOA (say for SAT scores, or some other "easily changeable" item...

I had my BGO interview almost two weeks ago and it has not appeared on my CIS page yet. The submission of the interview is the last part of my packet (except Nom). I emailed by BGO confirming the submission of the interview. My understanding is that your file will not be reviewed until all...

From my understanding, USNA does not weigh AP Stats as a "strong" math class. I took AP Stats and Trig/Precalc Junior year. My AP Stats teacher knows me much better than my Trig teacher, and therefore could write a better Evaluation I believe. Because of USNAs view on AP Stats is it better...

The English and Math teacher "Evaluation(s) of Candidate" are supposed to be current or from the previous year. I will be a senior this upcoming year, so I assume this means that the teachers must be from junior or senior year. I had Math and English teachers my sophomore year that both know...

With my NASS acceptance letter I received a Candidate number. I assume this means I am an official candidate for the class of 2016. Will USNA send me information on how to log on? Or is it something standard for everyone like username = Candidate # and password = last name? Thanks, JHORNET

The USNA c/o 2016 has opened. Because I applied for Summer Seminar (I am still waiting to hear back) I do no submit a Preliminary Application. The Academy website says that applicants will be notified if they have been designated an official candidate by mail no earlier than mid-May). Does this...

How heavily are AP test scores weighed in the admissions process? I'm currently in 3 AP classes. Just wondering how much weight is put on my scores. Thanks, JHORNET

On the USNA website under the "Admissions" tab it says, "If you graduate after 2011, you are too young to apply for this class..." When will this switch to, "If you graduate after 2012, you are too young to apply for this class..." In other words, when will the official c/o 2016...

My BGO gave me a card to send to USNA as a request for admission information, and to create a file with them. While filling it out in the "Ethnicity" section is asks for "Source Code: _ _ _". Is that something for me to fill out? I just don't want to send the card incomplete. Thanks...

I'm currently a Junior with a solid academic and ECA record. I have participated on the Track and Field team for two years (will be 3 including this year). My Sophomore year I participated in JV soccer, but don't know if I am able to play soccer this year- so many things going on (3 AP classes...

A quick question. I am a C/Capt in Civil Air Patrol and was wondering if it would be appropriate to wear my CAP service dress uniform to my first meeting with my BGO. It is at an All-Academy open house at my school. The school's Army JROTC cadets are helping with this event (and will obviously...

A few questions: 1) Does the Academy look at your AP test scores? I believe to validate a class at the Academy you must take and pass their test. I know that the AP class does show up on your transcripts. 2) Okay, so here's where I'm stuck. I could take AP Comp as my English 11 class, and...

I am currently a sophomore, and preparing for the Algebra 2 End of Course Exam. It is a test that various states use, but will ultimately be implemented nation-wide (so my teacher says). The test score goes on my transcript that USNA will eventually see. Does anyone know if USNA puts any weight...

I am currently a sophomore in high school. I have not yet taken a foreign language because priority is given to juniors and seniors. I realize that USNA looks highly upon foreign language classes. I plan to take a language junior and senior year. How much will the fact that I have not yet taken...

When USNA reviews your varsity sport career are they looking solely at participation and leadership, or do they look at your individual skill level (Assuming you are not being recruited for Navy Sports)? In other words, would it be a looked upon negatively if you may not be the best athlete...
