I have recently had my official 7th semester transcript requested by U.S.M.A. Fortunately my GPA this semester rose considerably compared to my average GPA across high school. (4.5 and 3.79 respectively) Other then conventional wisdom such as -it couldn't hurt-, does anyone have sense of how...

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...

So if a rejection letter is sent my way sometime in the next few months, what does it mean for the future? One of my friends told me I'd be offered to attend USMAPS, is this true? Or do I just need to try again the next year for USMA? I have two nominations (rep and senator), am academically...

Hi y'all! I'm taking my Academy CFA on Thursday... does anyone have tips on how to prep? What to eat/drink? How to stretch or lightly work-out? Resting tips? I'm kinda' late to getting it done, and I want to do well on it. Thanks!

I have heard that the Falcon Foundation scholarship is the same (for AFA) as an AOG scholarship is for USMA. Is this true? Also, I read on a different thread that when Falcon sponsored preps reapply, they have a streamlined application so they dont have to do things like teacher LORS and others...

Hi Everyone - Our DD received a MOC nomination in late Dec., 2016, followed by an offer/appointment to the USAFA Prep School, Class of 2018. We are so proud of her! Can someone please help clarify and confirm that after she successfully completes the ten-month PS program, our DD will NOT need...

Let's start a thread for students going to NWP this Fall! I'll start: I'm from Georgia, and I got a Falcon Foundation Scholarship and chose NWP. I've talked with Mrs. Durbeck a lot with in the past few weeks. While I am by no means an expert, I think I've learned quite a lot from both Mrs...

Hello! I was just informed that for 2016 year prep's and beyond there is a new requirement for entering the academy after Nmmi or the other prep schools. It's that the minimum Act scores must be met, unlike previous years because of the current competitiveness for Academy appointments. I...

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...

Hello! I'm currently a senior in high school and would like to obtain a nomination for USNA this coming year. I applied for nominations from a congressman and two senators in the fall but I did not receive any. The main thing I have to improve is my SAT scores and some grades. I have recently...

Hello! I am a potential lacrosse recruit for Usmma. I am trying to get a spot in NMMI, and my status went from Requested Prep, to NMMI principal, and back to Requested Prep. Does anyone know what this means? I thought I was accepted because of Principal status. Any information is greatly...

First off thank you to this site and the people who have helped out so far. I finished and submitted my USAFA application in late December; however, I did not receive a congressional nomination. I understand this will not allow me to have the chance at an appointment into the Academy. I am very...
