    Medically Disqualified, but later on, found to be misdiagnosed

    I was medically disqualified because my scoliosis was determined to be symptomatic scoliosis. We contacted my doctor concerning a referral to an orthopedic doctor in preparation for the waiver process but then found out that I never actually had scoliosis and was in fact misdiagnosed. Rather...

    Naval Academy Evaluation Email NOT Received

    Hello. I am currently working on my application. I put down some sources for the evaluation letter and the application says that as soon as I click "save", it would immediately send an email to the people listed. I did this a few weeks ago, and I followed up with some of them this week. They...

    What does the star on top of the anchor on the SDB mean?

    How can you send cards to an entire company?

    I wanted to get my club to make cards to send to an entire company for Thanksgiving because I know that they won't be able to go home for Thanksgiving. My question is, how many people are usually in a company? Also, how do I go about sending cards to them? I have no idea where to even start for...

    Would being part of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) help my application?

    I take college classes, and I recently received an invitation to join the Phi Theta Kappa (for students with a 3.5+ GPA) chapter at my local community college. It is some form of Honor Society. Would this look good on my application, or would it be considered a waste of time and money. Does the...

    Do the activities I've done in middle school count?

    What I mean by this is if I have been in student council ever since middle school, could I put 6 years for how long I've done it instead of 4? The same goes for my theater class. I did two years of theater in middle school and two years in high school (junior/senior year). Would it be okay to...

    Is the Medical Exam form available anywhere online ahead of time?

    I'm asking because though I plan on applying for Class of 2026, I just wanted to go through the medical exam ahead of time to see if I have any disqualifying conditions.

    Would it be okay to send in my SAT/ACT scores to USNA even if I have not yet created an application?

    I am going to take the ACT/SAT this September and December, but as I'm registering for it right now, it's asking to whom I would like to send it to. Would it be okay if I put in the USNA code even if I haven't even started my application for Class of 2026?

    If I do dual enrollment and take my English class there, am I allowed to use my college Professors for my letter of recommendation for 11/12th grade?

    Also, if I have the same math teacher all throughout High School, where can I get my 2nd letter of recommendation? Could I get it from my Charter School teacher even if she isn't my Math teacher? Is it strictly Math and English teacher? Also, how many letters of recommendation do I actually...

    Should I take the essay portion of the SAT?

    I know that several people have already posted threads like these, but I was wondering what the experiences of recent grads/parents were. Would the Naval Academy look at my application differently if I didn't do the essay portion? Also, my apologies in advance if this is a silly question but...

    As a homeschooler, what were some things you had on your resume that helped you get into the Academy?

    I'm sure that someone has already posted a thread like this, but I wanted to hear it from someone with a more recent perspective since I'm sure standards change each year. I am part of a charter school, but am technically homeschooled. What are some extracurriculars/sports you've done as a...

    Do admissions look at applicants who were not born in the United States differently?

    For example, I was born in China then adopted by parents who are American citizens. I love the United States more than anything and have no loyalties to China whatsoever. Due to what's going on with China and stuff, would the fact that I was born there affect my application?

    Are you allowed to have two piercings on one ear, or does it strictly have to be one piercing per ear?

    I am asking this for a friend who hopes to attend the Naval Academy in the future, but has not yet made an account on here. My friend is wondering if they got their second piercing now, would USNA disqualify them for it if they were to apply in the future? Thanks everyone!

    Summer STEM 2020

    Does anyone know until when will they release acceptances or denials for the online summer STEM 2020? Several of my friends said that they have already received emails last week confirming their acceptance to summer STEM. Since I haven't received an email yet, does that mean that I didn't get...
