Just wondering how many spots all the division I athletes eat up in each enrolling class? With NIL and the professionalism of college athletics….just interesting.

Next year my youngest son will be going to one of two math science academies, exposing himself to competitive academics, while the opportunity cost is no varsity athletics. Irregardless of the cost of varsity athletics, academics are the key. He will be an active student, but will no longer...

I have seen multipe posts/videos that emphasize turning In application in early, even on the day it opens. With that said, how does one account for winter and spring sports, and the awards they earn? Do they project, guess, or simply lie? Maybe they don’t participate in winter sports. But fall...

Friendly reminder that medical waivers arrive in the mailbox…..in white envelopes too.

DS took his CFA and realized he didn’t complete the ID number paper. He then retook his CFA and just realized he did the number with his paper and number but did not hold up his photo ID. Would one assume it would be in his best interest to just complete it again over this minute detail...

DS has a dq on vision not correctable to 20/20. He has documentation from his optometrist, after months of eye therapy, that he has been corrected to 20/20. DS is emphatic that this information hasn’t been requested of him, and I am wondering if it can be submitted….and if so to whom?

no restrictions on leg, letter from optometrist stating correctable to 20/20. Now let’s go !

He’s hooked after Navy Stem. At any rate he’s a soph, 3 sport athlete, thats ditching athletics and public school for a stem academy next year. Taking pre calc next semester as a sophomore, to take calc I as a junior. Has a path to differential equations last semester before graduation. In...

Portal says my son is disqualified for Annapolis, even though he received a waiver last year and has not made or went to this years appointments yet. Anyone have any input or opinions on this. He is of course making his appointments now…if that’s still an option

Just finished reading. Maybe it’s time to stop the divisiveness and open two naval academies!

Son got an email saying his file was closed. He is going to call them from college. Is that the end of the line?

Going to HS registration for my youngest son I was approached by so many that invested wholly in my oldest son academically and application wise. Had to answer them honestly and give them a status update. To their credit each one of them vented their frustrations and extended the offer to run...

1. Admissions told my reapplicant son that his waiver for USNA should carry over. 2. After completing eye therapy this week….optometrist says he is 20/20 corrected. 3. Would anyone recommend sending optometrist documentation to be added to his Dodmerb file? He is applying to multiple...

USCGA, from two phone calls via my son, and personally hearing a speech amidst other SA reps…have their act together. Impressive to say the least…on their own and in comparison!

Does anyone know if this part of the application is used as a reflection by admissions, or if it factors in decisions. I know ancestry (dot com) offers DNA testing, and was wondering if outside of genealogy it could serve to make an application more accurate?

In seeking reference letters from busy people is it advisable to ask for a general reference to nomination for multiple academies across all sources….or individual letters for each academy and each nominating source?

With the eradication/ essentially everything “Confederate” eliminated at West Point, why are the Japanese torpedos on permanent/dominant display at USNA? As a 50 year old that was nurtured by both European and pacific theatre veterans, I truly cannot rationalize why the Japanese torpedos are...

My prep school waitlisted son, who has been engaged in eye therapy, has made tremendous improvement in his “lazy eye.” He has already received a waiver, but is there anyone that anyone can suggest he can send correspondence to showing his progress. His work ethic has been tremendous, and the...

In the event a candidate receives a waiver from Annapolis, is that waiver good in the event they are not accepted and want to reapply ?

I am aware there are candidates who are waitlisted for both Naval Academy and Naval Academy Prep. This dad has has many questions about the process, but would anyone know if these two categories are competing against each other…or are they two separate groups? At any rate just gonna embrace...
