nomination

Hello, I am a high school junior preparing to apply to USNA and other service academies. I’m almost finished with my NASS application, but I have a few questions: The character limit for the EC section is only 39, making it difficult to include details. Should I just list my positions? Will I...

I got some very exciting news today as I was offered and ALO for USNA. The last step to be able to appoint would be getting a nomination, and I wanted to see if anyone knew if the process of nominations are different for those with an ALO or if my odds are the same as anyone else applying for...

Hey y'all! This might be a dumb question but I figured I'd ask anyways. I am in the process of applying for my nomination, but my Congressman requires a completed and signed CFA as part of the application. I am in a very noncompetitive district, however I'm assuming I won't do the best on my...

Hello, I recently applied for the Presidential nomination and I'm waiting to hear back. How can I know that my application made it through and when do should I know by? And does the Naval Academy or the President's cabinet decide who gets the nomination?

I know it’s very hard to tell someone what their chances are in getting an appointment but I am extremely anxious right now. I was able to get a JROTC nomination and my decision is still pending. However, people in my district and state are getting their appointments. How hard is it to obtain an...

Hello! I am a current candidate for USNA. From what I’ve gathered, a candidate can get multiple nominations to USNA. This “increases” your chances because there are more slates available for you. This is what I’ve been told from current mids and information online. I have received a...

I spoke on the phone with a CAP Squadron Recruiting Officer (something along those lines) who also works on the nomination board for my district. He said he would encourage me to join CAP since their academics are more geared toward service academies compared to JROTC. Is that true? What do you...

I was wondering how much a presidential nomination helps out with getting into the naval academy? And how competitive the presidential nomination process is?
