Hello! For I-day we have to bring our national security questionnaire with us. Does anyone know if we have to bring the entire packet? I’ve only needed to write things on maybe a third of the pages. Should we print out all 130 pages or just bring the ones with print on them? Thank you!

Hello! I am attending USNA as part of the class of 2026 and had a quick medical question. I have not been diagnosed with ADHD, but believe that it is something that I have and have started the process of possibly getting a diagnosis. I was surprised to find that this is potentially disqualifying...

Hello! I am visiting USNA next week for a CVW and am hoping to get a bit of insight into what I should expect. I have read the other threads here but have a few other questions. First, what should I wear? The things I have seen say semi formal, with the example of khakis and a polo shirt but I...

Hello! I had a quick question. I submitted my preliminary application when I applied to NASS and SLE. For West Point, I have access to my candidate portal and am able to work on my application but I have not heard anything from USNA. Is this normal? Also, I am taking the ACT this weekend. Would...

Hello! As many of you probably know, the AP tests are quickly approaching! I took two AP classes this year, English and Calculus AB. I am feeling very confident going into the English exam as I have taken several practice tests and gotten decent scores but am very nervous about the Calculus...

Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were referring to NASS. I have not received anything from West Point yet.

I received an email.

Really? That is so great! Where did you see this?

First off, congrats to all of the people who have been accepted!!! I have noticed that a good portion who have been accepted, have LOA's. I thought this was something that was extended to a very small portion (maybe 20 people) each year. But it seems like it is becoming more common. Is there a...

I have also received my acceptance for NASS but am waiting on SLE. The letter I got from USNA says I have 10 days to commit to attending. I definitely want to go but if it conflicts with SLE (and it is in person) I will choose SLE. Does anyone know if we can cancel after committing, or any other...

I am so glad someone has brought this up and am very encouraged by all the comments on this thread! I have had the same concern over the past year as I have started the application process for USNA and USMA. Though I lean the other way, (I am very liberal) the fact that someone else had the same...

Hello! I recently applied to both the USNA and USMA summer programs. Today, I just heard back from USNA and was accepted! I am so excited but am still hopeful about the SLE program and to be introduced to both of these schools. Also recently, the Naval Academy announced that they are doing their...

Hello all! A few days ago, the Naval Academy announced that Summer Seminar will be virtual this year due to COVID. As someone waiting hopefully on a Summer Seminar admission, I was a little disappointed that I would not be able to experience the Naval Academy in person but am still very...

Hello! I am currently a Junior and am working on forecasting for classes next year. I am focused on selecting classes that will optimize my chances of getting accepted to an SA! I have taken Latin for the past three years, but this year my school cancelled the class. I know for USNA they...

Hello! I am taking the ACT for the first time this weekend and have a few questions that I would love some insight on. 1) Should I sign up to send my test or wait until I know my score? 2) I heard from someone that the Naval Academy and some other SA’s require you to send all your scores because...

Congratulations!! That is so great! I was also wondering if anyone could help answer a question regarding nominations: if you get a nomination are you basically guaranteed an appointment? I have heard similar stories and it seems like once someone is notified that they have a nomination from...

Thank you so much everyone, this was very helpful!

Hello everyone! The application for Summer Seminar opens soon and I am preparing all my information for the application and have a few questions. How seriously is this part of the application taken? At this point in the year none of my grades from junior year are official yet, so my currents...
