The daughter of a close friend did not receive a nomination to USNA for 2019, despite a strong application/resume. Is NAPS an option for continuing to pursue USNA admission? If so, what is the process for applying? What credentials are they looking for?

Hi all, I originally received a nomination to the naval academy, but I noticed that it was gone from my portal last night. After frantically contacting my admissions counselor my congressman's office contacted me to let me know they had rescinded my nomination. At first I was taken aback and...

Enrolling st the Naval Academy has always been one of my many goals; however, I’ve faced several problems along the way which has prevented me from applying for the Academy while I’m still in high school. I’m confident that I have the athletic and extracurricular strengths that would be...

I understand that if you are not admitted into the U.S. Naval Academy, you are automatically considered for an appointment to NAPS. My question is this: If you would receive admission into USNA, but cannot secure a Congressional Nomination, are you still considered for NAPS? If you are admitted...

Hello all, I came from a children's home in Hockley, TX and was chosen out of 88 kids to attend Hargrave Military Academy on a academic/wrestling scholarship. Back at home I was actively engaged in leadership positions with my church, community, hurricane Harvey relief operations, AFJROTC , FCA...

DD is a few days too young so they offered her NAPS. She does well academically and finished HS in 3 years. Great GPA and SAT. Offered a few opportunities for exclusive programs at universities like American University, Rhodes College and Union. . . but she WANTS the Naval Academy. I would...

Greetings all! I have a question about NAPS. I understand it is for those who need a little academic help before entering the USNA. What about for those students who are good students but may be a few days too young for admission to the Naval Academy? If you are a good student, great SAT...

I am currently attending NAPS with the class of 2018. I know while I was applying and when I got accepted to NAPS I had a lot of questions no one seemed to be able to answer. There's also a lack of information about NAPS on the web. So if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them!

I am currently about to graduate NAPS. A fight I've been having with admin all year is the payment of an enlistment bonus the Nuclear power program pays you upon graduation from power school. This is about $3,000, and in my enlistment contract says it is to be paid "upon completion of nuclear...

Greetings, I was recently offered an appointment to NAPS for the class of 2018 (which of course I accepted) and would like to see who else out there will be attending NAPS with me! thanks, NMCandidate

Hello, I was curious about how people are notified about an appointment to NAPS? My blue and gold officer is almost certain that if I were denied I'd be offered an appointment to NAPS, but how does that typically happen? Am I first denied and then later told about being able to go to NAPS? And...

Hello, after speaking to my Blue and Gold officer, he believes I am pretty competitive for an appointment to USNA, and is almost positive that if I were denied, I would receive an appointment to NAPS, but I want to hear what other people think. I currently go to a magnet high school, I am in the...

*from priors at naps before the directs have arrived* Between musters several enlisted nukes and I have come up with questions nobody seems to have the answers to. 1) would a nuke that enlisted in (say) October 2014 wear the good conduct medal when he goes to USNA? What enlisted time "counts"...

Brief explanation before the main question: I was attending enlisted Nuclear Power School when I applied for the Academy. I was ecstatic when I found out I got in. Less so when they said I had too attend NAPS. I understand it is an honor to even be considered, but I am anxious to actually...

I got the official Turn Down from Navy today after months of being on CPR. After being boarded without a Nom and then moved to "Admissible", my BGO informed me that even though the turn down letter says I'm rejected from both USNA and Prep Programs, I am still in the running for NAPS and...

Is there anybody else headed to prep in July? I feel like I'm the only one!

I have already applied to the Naval Academy, but haven't seen much information on the typical grades/scores/activities which are helpful to getting accepted for the prep school. ACT: 24 SAT: 1060 (490 math, 570 verbal) GPA: 3.5862 unweighted, 4.51 weighted AP Classes: Physics 1: Algebra...

STATUS: DS has his "Plan B" in place (hooray!) and he received a Nomination (from our district MOC) 2 weeks ago to USMMA (his 2nd choice), but no Nom to USNA. Both US Senators in Texas turned him down. DS was happy about USMMA, but very disappointed about USNA. BACKGROUND: Prior to interview...
