btw; the P3 Orion, plane my husband flew in the Navy was a wide body with 4 props and his missions were to hunt Russian subs. He LOVED this time in his life! He loved U of M so much, though he never attended, so he never talked much about USNA. Our girls never even owned a Navy t-shirts or...

We were quite shocked to find out that our daughter, Katie, did not get in to USNA, and it broke her heart. We can't imagine a more qualified girl that would take her place. Thank God she was accepted at her back up school, the University of Michigan or this would be so much more difficult...

What does it mean when you say, "made it through with a letter in hand"? My D is still waiting in MI. She is 3Q'd with 2 nominations. Thankfully, she was accepted at her #2 choice school, so it won't be completely awful if her path isn't to USNA, but she will no doubt feel sad if it works...

Congressional Nom How do you know if you are a principal nominee or not? Daughter received a Congressional Nomination last week. She is triple qualified. Waiting... When should she expect more information?

following your instincts Blackhawkmom, I'm so happy your son has his meds and that things were straightened out with the help of the chaplain that you contacted. You don't need me to tell you this, but following your mom instincts was the right thing to do. These instincts are tied to this...

Blackhawkmom, When I read your post; I knew I didn't have the advice that could help, so I turned to my husband, and asked him to try and offer help. I'm sure he'd hate it that I'm writing this, but I think it is important- as he responded to you, he became emotional; this is not a side I've...

Dear Sue I am the husband of "Proud Mom" and an '82 grad. I am probably not the norm as far as getting all weepy eyed on "The Academy". I went there for many reasons, some good, some not so good. I have always loved the challenge of doing things that most people either haven't or can't do. I...

Is this a visit for candidates who haven't been to the academy. What is the purpose? Do you know the schedule? Sorry, I'm not familiar with any of this, but so glad you are sharing. Thanks! :smile:

Will you be a senior in high school next year? If you will be a junior and not a senior; you should look into the program my daughter attended. I think she started the application process in Feb. of her junior year. It's on the USNA website. - Naval Academy Summer Seminar It may be a way for...

oppositional parents Awesome response from Bullet! Kevin, 1st parents want what they think is best for their children, but even though they know their children; they can't truly know what will make them happy anymore than you will know until you have some experiences. My dad was enlisted in...

Peskemom, Yes, Katie attended the 2nd session of NASS last month. She LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her experience. My daughter is a "girly girly" but also very athletic. 1st in her squad to finish during Sea Trials... Her roommates later told her they thought she was going to do terrible at NASS - she...

Thanks for the interview tips website. It was very helpful! =)

Thanks so much for offering to be so helpful! It helps to understand the process. (Katie received a phone call with her candidate number instead of a packet in the mail.) We understand, now, that a majority of the admission steps need to be completed before receiving a letter in the mail to set...

Is this the correct place to send my transcript? I received a phone call instead of a letter, so I don't have a paper to reference. Thanks! Candidate Guidance Office United States Naval Academy 117 Decatur Road Annapolis, MD 21402-5018 (410) 293-4361
