us naval academy

I just learned yesterday that my waiver for USNA was denied, but I have not yet begun to fight (thank you John Paul Jones). I can and will appeal their decision, so I wanted to ask if anybody has any advice or experience with the appeal process they would be willing to share. Or are there...

Hey everyone, I am a current plebe (Class of 2026) at USNA and willing to try and answer any questions ranging from the application process to life at the academy. As a little background reference, I am a reapplicant having been originally denied out of high school. I did a year of college...

Hey y’all, I was the special olympics team captain for a month and I’m curious if there is a section where I would mark for “sports team captain”, does this count? Thank you!

Hello-- (sorry for the length of this post) ***PLEASE HELP SERVICE MEN AND WOMAN*** I have a question I hope a few USNA Alumni (who attended)--OR USNA-Professors/Instructors could help with. My husband was a USNA- Alumni-90' but he never attended the Summer Seminar offered for Juniors in high...

I am one of the 14,000 people who were rejected from USNA last year, and now that I am all settled at the University of Georgia (go dawgs) I have begun the process of reapplying, and I have been working out as much as I can to prepare for a CFA, but now I think I have been approaching it wrong...

I have completed my first year in engineering (accepted to mechanical) at Texas A&M and am 100% sure I want to stop here and go to the Naval Academy. I want to take on the rigor of the academy, experience the incredible community there, and earn a commission to hopefully be a pilot for the US...

hello, I am currently thinking about applying to the naval academy in a few years, and I am a bit insecure about how my application looks. In terms of academics, I have a 3.6/4 GPA, and take all Honors or AP classes. I have about 70% of my grades A's and the rest are B's I have not gotten...

I haven't given up the ship yet, but my dad (USNA '83) has started discussing more about the alternative plans I've set up, and with each passing week my personal morale is beginning to drop. My district is very competitive, and it's clear now that I wasn't my congressman's principal nominee...

So today during my last wrestling practice I broke my Fibula. So if I get accepted to USNA should I inform them about the condition? And could this result in my appointment being taken away? I really hope not and I hope that under candidates out there do not recieve my misfortune.

Hi, I’m a current applicant to USNA from Fl-08. If a rejection letter comes my way, I’m planning to reapply the next year and go to a near by community college (Because of financial problems) and take Plebe year courses. One of my coaches was telling me about joining the Navy reserves to help...

Hello Everyone, Many people have told me to establish good connections with my BGO, but I am having difficulty with some things. First, how do you know who your Blue and Gold Officer is? I checked on the USNA website (https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/BGO/), and I saw three BGO (for VA). I was...

Hey, I was just at the Naval Academy last week with a group and one of the things we did was attemp/practice the CFA. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some good exercises that would help me improve more. -How do I improve my Basketball throw distance? -How do I increase my Pull-Ups? -How...

I was really excited to be offered an opportunity to attend a CVW at the Naval Academy. I'll be there later this week. But, I know we get the chance to work out with the midshipmen on Saturday morning and I'm worried I'm going to fail and that will go badly on my record. When my dad was doing...

Hello, if my congressman nominates 10 slate nominees to USNA, how many will get accepted out of those ten? And I keep seeing that your chances increase if you are 3Q with a nomination, so in theory if they only accept 1/10 from my district (all 3Q), my chances would be only be at 10%. These do...
