    Shoe Color

    In the logging in instructions the regulation says that running shoes must be “predominantly white” in color but that any stripes/trim must be blue, gray or silver. I have really good running sneakers that are mostly white but they are part of a USA-themed line that has blue trim and a red check...

    Plebe restrictions

    I've seen other threads on this from years past but haven't really seen a comprehensive breakdown of what the plebe year lifestyle is like than it is "challenging" and "unique."

    Hold status

    I received an email this morning saying I was put on the national waiting list as a hold candidate but that I was found to be academically qualified. I know there are other threads on this but I’m still confused about one thing...does this mean that someone with a direct appointment has to...

    NHS Officer vs. Class Officer

    I’m curious, what would look better to admissions, President/VP/Secretary of National Honor Society? Or Class President/VP/Secretary/Treasurer etc... I know I should “do what I want and think I can make a difference in” not what necessarily looks good to admissions, but both are school...

    Proofreading Essays

    Is it appropriate to ask my admissions counselor to read my essay? I could ask my English teacher but I’d like someone with more knowledge of USNA to read it. Perhaps I should wait for my Blue & Gold Officer to be assigned?

    How Much Does Having a Merchant Mariner Credential Help?

    The title pretty much explains my question. I've been a volunteer crew member on one of the last operating WWII Liberty Ships (will have well over +1000 hours by the time I apply) and got a Merchant Mariner Credential last year. How much weight, if any, will this carry on my application? My goal...
