Hello there! I am currently a high school junior and I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here we go... On all of my summer applications for the academies (SLE, USAFA SS, USNA SS) I had noted that I wanted all three to act as my candidate questionnaires. I have just recently...

What qualifies you to receive a candidate number? I know that the other academies have to deem you "competitive" before you are able to even start the actual application process but is Navy the same way? I just recently got a much higher ACT score (30) than what I had originally put on the SS...

Wow, this must be so exciting. I'm praying that you get an appointment! Good luck!

On the USAFA website's Summer Seminar FAQ, it says that status updates will be in by the first week of March. https://www.academyadmissions.com/faq/summer-seminar/

Has anyone found out if they got accepted yet? I'm still waiting but on the website, it says that our status should change by the first week of March.

according to this standard, I would be DQ (even though I meet all the other ones). I know you said that waivers are given out on a case-by-case basis and determined by the SA, but have you heard of anyone making it in with a similar situation (kyphosis or other spinal structure conditions)? I...

Hello, I was just freshly diagnosed (yesterday) with a moderate case of kyphosis. I have been really stressing out about this and I'm wondering if this is going to kill my dreams of going to the academy. I've never ever had any symptoms and the doctor said it's more cosmetic than anything...

I'm on it! I've been completing each of the steps that you mentioned and I do have one question about nominations... Is it better to have a good application that is turned in early or a great application that is turned in a little later?

It stands for Service Academy, doesn't it... I guess I figured it out lol

Wow, thanks for the info! I took my physical education classes virtually due to my heavy class load during freshmen and sophomore year so would I have to contact these teachers? Also, (I'm about to sound pretty ignorant...) what does SA stand for? I hear people use the term a lot but I'm...

Ok... I can tell this is going to be a pretty lengthy process lol! Thanks for your help!

Hey, thanks for the info, and congrats on your appointment! I have started on the vice-presidential nomination (opened up yesterday) and I don't believe it needs teacher recommendations but I could be mistaken. Do my regional representatives require recommendations? If so, do these teachers need...

So I'm kind of confused about some of the criteria for my teacher recommendation letters and I have listed a few of my inquiries below: 1. I believe the letters have to come from a math, English, and physic/chemistry teacher but do these teachers have to be from my 11-12 grade year, or can they...

Awesome post! I am currently working on gaining an appointment for the class of 26' and your DS seems pretty similar to me in a few ways. Do you mind if I ask how he was able to begin the nomination process? I've been searching all over my representatives' web pages and I cant seem to find the...

Ok, thanks! I do a lot of music stuff so I was confused but I can probably fit it in 3-4 sentences.

When it asks about hobbies, how in-depth do I go? Are these little paragraphs or just one-sentence explanations?

Hey, I am trying to find where I can fill out the application. Do you have the link?

Okay, thanks. I'm thinking about majoring in Arabic or Foreign Area Studies.

Wow, it seems pretty daunting! I am considering other career paths as well but nevertheless, I want to chase this dream since I believe I can work hard and achieve it. Knowing the challenges, what academic major would be the most useful? I'm assuming some sort of engineering degree would be the...

Exactly what the title above is asking. I am hoping to join the class of 2026 and I know that if I were able to attend, it would be my dream to be an explosive ordnance and disposal officer during my service.
