Hello, I'm an applicant for C/O 2028 USNA and my status is still Pending. I am aware that everyone will find out by the end of this week and that many people have since April 15th. I have seen many posts about people be rejected and waitlisted during this time period but I was wondering if...

I'm posting this thread to seek guidance given my current status. Currently, I haven’t heard from any of the SAs or NROTC. However, I have heard from most of the civilian colleges I have applied to. My Plan A is an SA, my Plan B is NROTC while reapplying for the class of 2029, and my Plan C is...

Hey everyone, I want to address two issues I've come across in my USNA app. portal. I couldn't find any similar posts about these problems. I also reached out to my admissions counselor and what she recommended didn't work (to use a dif. browser). First, I'm unable to edit my school history...

Hello everyone, I'm posting this to receive some advice on a particular part of my personal statement. In my essay, I cite many experiences which include midshipmen at USNA, coaches, and teachers. I was wondering if I should include their name sin my essay or if that wasn't necessary. Please...

Hello all, I have taken the ACT 3 times now and I'm not happy with my scores quite yet. I plan on taking it in October and November, as well. However, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a specific deadline when you can't take the test anymore for the Academies. I understand that the...

Hello everyone, I'm here today seeking opinions and advice. I have asked a few other people and Naval Academy admissions on this topic but I would love more feedback. My parents and I thought it would be a great experience for me to do my last semester of High School studying abroad in Spain...

Hello, In my USMA application, I found my way to the form to fill out my request for a Presidential Nomination. However, I couldn't find any directions on how and where to submit it. Are we expected to email it to our regional advisor, mail it in like USNA, or something else? thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm posting this thread to receive some insight and advice on my DODMERB survey questions. I indicated that I take ibuprofen and acetaminophen when necessary and not consistently, for example, for having a cold. In the past, I have taken a few medications for acne: Accutane (I...

Hello Everyone, I'm aware that you're supposed to mail a physical copy of your presidential nomination application to USNA; however, after reviewing USNA's website and thread posts, I'm still curious whether I should email it in as well. I'd appreciate any insight and clarification and what...

Hello all, I've searched as many sources as possible and haven't been able to find if we're allowed to use teachers/coaches from our freshman or sophomore year to write us LORs. I've been under the impression that only coaches/teachers from your junior/senior year can write LORs, but USNA...

Good afternoon forums, As of now, I have taken the ACT once and only got a good score in English (29) and did poorly in the other sections. When I was registering for this test, I chose not to send the scores to any school because I didn't want a bad first impression. I'm taking the ACT again...

Hello, everyone. My Senatorial Nomination Application requires one core teacher and two residents. However, the system is set up so I won't be able to see their letter, as they will be sent directly to the office. Would it be appropriate to ask them to send me a copy of their letter so I can...

Good evening, morning, etc. I received acceptance into NASS Session 3 and I'm ready to begin asking my teaches for LORs. However, I'm slightly confused on this process because isn't there a portal that they have and send their LOR directly to the SA? How do they get a hold of this? Am I...

Hey, everyone. I'm planning on taking the ACT a few more times before I submit my app. for the class of 2028 and have been contemplating if I should take the SAT too. I have already tried the SAT and have found out I'm better on the ACT so I've been studying heavily for that. However, I will...

Hey, everyone Since the beginning of this year, I've been studying for the English and Math sections of the ACT - English more than math. I've raised my English score up 10 points and it's continuing to rise; my math score, however, has barely risen. For the past month, I've only been studying...

Hello, everyone. I was told that USNA only considers Math and English on the ACT. With that said, are you only required to send in your Math and English scores? Is it even possible to only send in those two categories? In addition, is it correct that all of the other SAs review all of your...

Hello, Next year (my senior year) I plan on starting a few clubs. Specifically, STEM and Indoor Soccer/Futsal Club. Will these give me leadership points? How do the SAs view this? Also, I'd appreciate any tips on how to start these up the best. Especially a club like STEM. Thanks.

Hello, I was accepted for an internship with my district's Congressional office for two periods and I have to pick between the two. I was accepted for September-Decemeber and next Spring, January-April. At first, I figured January-April would be the best because I wouldn't be as busy with my...

Hello, I've played lacrosse my whole life including my Freshman and Sophomore year of high school. During freshman year I started Varsity and was awarded Midfielder of the Season by my team. My team did not participate in awarding Varsity Letters that year. I then moved to Utah to one of the...

Hello, I recently decided to quit lacrosse my Junior year. I wasn't as passionate I use to be and because of that I couldn't be the best player nor teammate. I've played my whole life including my Freshman and Sophomore years of Highschool. However, I'm much happier and productive. Are there...
