My parents kept most of mine and I have some stuff here. My brother also took a bunch of my nice clothes tho lol

I would try and validate. I took calc one two and three in high school but didn't validate bc I wanted a lighter load and I wish I had just validated so it would be easier later on.

I did a CVW, but not summer seminar. The CVW was interesting for me bc it was after I already accepted, and at the very end of my plebe's plebe year, so it gives me an end goal to look forward to now when plebe stuff gets bad. I did do AIM (the Coast Guard version of summer seminar) and it was...

I brought sunscreen (bc I sunburn easily), medicine, extra shoes, compression shorts, and some toiletries but you really don't need anything bc they give you a lot. I would probably just bring pain medicine like Advil but they might take it. For me, each of the phone calls we got (3 total) were...

I did not take AP chem, but I did take a college prep chem course that was very similar to what the academy offers. I probably took 2 APs a year, but I also did dual enrollment so my junior and senior year (and summers) I was mostly taking community college classes.

This is the one weekend where I'm not busy so if anyone has any questions ask away! I remember at this time I had a lot I was wondering about.

It's definitely not too late. I struggled a lot with pullups but you just have to do them a lot. Work on negatives (jump up to the bar and lower slowly) and band pullups to get stronger and once you can do one pullup just do them all the time.

There isn't any special place on the application to list the number of volunteer hours you have, but I would say that it is important to be involved with the community. Make sure that the things you volunteer for are meaningful and actually matter to you (not just checking a box). If a volunteer...

I have yet to hear anything. I would assume that we would be reviewed last so that admissions can compare deferred applicants to regular decision applicants.

There was a post a while back (https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/afrotc-type-2-and-7-scholarships-upgraded-to-type-1-for-ivy-league.72440/) explaining that ROTC scholarships were upgraded last year for some top schools. I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was...

I had my interview today, and while not every Detachment Commander is the same, what I would recommend from my experience would be to not worry too much and just be confident in yourself and your experiences. I practiced questions with my parents, but the most important thing is simply to be...

Of course! Hope to see you there!

I spoke with both Team Silver and Team Blue over email (due to a mix-up where my Mentor ALO recommended I reach out to one and my candidate portal suggested the other) and they both got back to me very quickly. When I called, however, I never received a response.

I'm a 2026 applicant and I completed the DoDMERB exams a couple months ago for the Coast Guard Academy and it came back as qualified. My Naval Academy application portal indicates that they haven't received my DoDMERB results, and I was wondering whether or not it would automatically transfer...

Basically the same thing happened with me. I interviewed with my congressman first and received nominations to USAFA and USNA so I withdrew from Senator Schumer's nomination. At least for me, Senator Gillibrand's office did not have great communication. They only informed me of my interview two...
