united states naval academy

So yesterday I found out that I recieved an LOA to the Naval Academy Class of 2029, conditional on a medical waiver. I should be overjoyed, given that this has been my dream school since I was a freshman. But something has been nagging at me and detracting from my ability to be happy about...

Hi all, I’ll be attending the Candidate Visit Weekend (CVW) on September 19th and was wondering if anyone had any useful tips or words of advice before I attend. All candidates attending CVW feel free to respond to this post as well as prior candidates and/or plebes. Any parents or previous or...

Does anyone know if there is a waiver for self harm incidents for the United States Naval Academy. It so I would love to hear about the process of obtaining one.

Hey everyone. I recently was listed as DQ by single disqualification on DoDMERB. The codes used to disqualify me were D211.50 and D211.52. The specific reason was for a concussion I had at age 3 (2007). With this injury, I had a skull fracture, but the code used only seemed to cite “brain...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me in deciding what course would be best for my application to USNA (this also applies to all academies as well). Next year, I was planning on taking one trimester of regular economics (it’s required) and two trimesters of AP Gov & Politics, however...

I fully intend on reapplying if I don't get in this time around because it's been my dream to serve my country and attend USNA. I haven't received a TWE yet and I'm just wondering if it's ridiculous to think I could be appointed at this point in the process. When do they typically respond if so...

Hello everyone. About a month ago, I received a TWE letter of denial to USNA after receiving my congressional nomination, but I really want to attend this incredible institution, so I have regrouped and have come up with a plan, and I just wanted to see what the Service Academy Forums community...

I am a candidate for USAFA and USNA, but I was medically disqualified by DoDMERB. On January 5th, USAFA notified me that they requested a medical waiver for me on my behalf, but my DoDMERB portal still displays "Pending Waiver Submission/Review" and the last update was made on September 25th...

Hi, I'm an 18 year old senior in High School whose applying to the Air Force and Naval Academies.

Hello, I got my 2 required letters of recommendation in (English and math) and I'm going to receive one from my Track Coach. Since I'm using the coach letter for my nomination applications, I figured I'd send it to Navy as well because I heard they accept an additional letter. My question is...

Hey, I would greatly appreciate any information on Blue and Gold Officers. Some questions I have are: How do I know who my Blue and Gold officer is? Does he contact me or to I contact him? What do Blue and Gold officers do? Thank You!

I am currently a junior and I plan on applying for the NROTC scholarship. I am a girl and in great physical condition, I can max out in all the physical requirements required. I have run Cross Country all throughout High School and received my Varsity Letter as a softmore. I am in the top 20%...
