summer seminar

This past week I was fortunate enough to be granted the opportunity to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar as well as the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar. My dad and I decided that I was going to attend both. I understand this it's going to be a challenging couple of weeks. That being said...

I thought I would make a thread for Summer Seminar Acceptances and rejections, so hopefuls next year could know where they stand. So when those emails go out(could be any day now), let’s list ourselves on this thread. I was thinking this format: (Username) // (Accepted/Rejected) // (State) //...

I scored pretty bad on the PSAT and got a 1200 (620 Reading 580 Math) then I did a little bit of prep on math and scored a 1300 (640 reading 660 math) on my SAT. Should I still send both scores as I improved by 100 points or would it be best to leave the PSAT out of the equation. Side note: I...

If I did not have a leadership role where I used to work, should I still list it? I only worked at McDonald's but I don't know if leaving out information, even if it is mundane, is a good idea.

Is it a bad idea to have multiple sentences in the profile section? (Not the essay of course). The application says to include aspirations for the summer seminar so should I include that in the essay even though addressing the summer seminar doesn't fit into the essay prompt (Describe an...

If a USNA candidate were to apply to Boys State and SLCDA, and he were fortunate enough to be offered a spot at both programs, but they both happen to be held during the same week so that he could only attend one of them, which one should he choose? We know that all of the service academies...

I applied to Summer Seminar in December. In February I received a notification saying I have been waitlisted. Has anyone else been waitlisted and heard back from their waitlist status? Also does anyone know the likelihood of being selected off the waitlist? I still have the waitlist status in...

I got waitlisted a while ago and then recently checked my email because I always forget to and realized I had gotten accepted a while back. I sent in my payment on the 10th and the status of my payment hasn't changed and it's due by the 15th (tomorrow) I'm not sure what to do does anyone have...

I'm a student that has applied to USNA and USAFA. I got accepted to both summer seminars, my blue and gold officer told me that I am an extremely competitive applicant, and I got two nominations to USNA and one to USAFA, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Should I just assume that I haven't...

Hello! I just got accepted to the USAFA Summer Seminar and just had a few quick and general questions. Anyone have any advice on what I should do to possibly prepare for the Summer Seminar? Does anyone have any general advice for the Summer Seminar or just anything they think would be useful...

Hello! I attended Summer Seminar Session 2, and I was wondering if there was any way for us to see the pictures that they took. My detailer only sent us a few pictures, but I saw other detailers taking many more. I have seen picture on the slideshow they played during the closing and the...

Hi. My son is considering pursuing a nomination to one of the academies, and I believe he has a good possibility of receiving it. However, as a parent I have a question. I wonder if my son will later wish he had a more stereotypical college experience and if he will will have regrets or...

Hello all, today I received my final status for USNA Summer Seminar. I was turned down and the email read: “Thank you for your interest in the United States Naval Academy. While we were unfortunately not able to offer you a spot unto Summer Seminar 2018, the Dean of Admissions would love to...

Hi everyone! I submitted my N.A.S.S. application in January and am eagerly waiting back for a response since a confirmation email after I submitted my application said: "you will receive official notification about your status by mail no later than May 1st. Good luck and Beat Army." I haven't...

Unfortunately my weeks overlap. Which one do you think would give me a better experience and would look better on an application for any college (including USNA, and USAFA)?

I just learned that I was waitlisted to USNA Summer Seminar, how often is it that people get off the wait list? I think I have a generally solid app (35 ACT, national-level award, solid speech/leadership side) even though I don't have stuff like JROTC on it, if that helps give any context.

I was accepted to AFASS this morning, and shortly before I received my email I registered for the NASS. I am also registered for girls state, which is the same week as AFASS I know that USAFA and USNA are very different and I would learn a lot by going to both. My concern is that going to girls...

Hello! I have recently applied for NASS, but I haven't taken the SAT or ACT. I submitted an application without either score. Do I still have a chance at being accepted into NASS? I have a total GPA of 3.90 unweighted and 3.93 weighted, am active in sports and academics, and participate in many...

I am a junior and want to apply to the AFA for the class of 2023. I would appreciate some help/advice for a couple of questions I have: 1. The applications steps on the website say to reach out to your ALO as Step 2 -- even before filling out the pre-candidate questionaire. I emailed the ALO...
