    NAPS versus USMMA

    I have committed to USMMA. However, I just received an appointment to NAPS after being waitlisted to USNA for a little less than a month. I’ve already done extensive research on both choices. I want to make sure I’ve considered everything before making a decision, so any other insight would be...

    Can you take a tour of NAPS?

    I'm a junior looking into NAPS as my goal is to become a SWO in the navy, and I hope to accomplish this by attending the Naval Academy. During my CVW the midshipman I was dragging with told me to look into NAPS as I am worried about my grades as they are the weakest part of my application, which...

    Can I send my SAT scores through the college board before applications for the class of 2030 open?

    As I can find the code to send the SAT scores to the academy, would It be uploaded to my candidate portal before the applications open or is this a waste of money?

    QUICK waiver granted

    Morning, I was thinking about how most people don’t get waivers/AMI very fast, nor get them granted very fast either. I had a waiver only for my braces. I got a AMI request like2-3 weeks later. I submitted the AMI like that day, because I wanted it done asap. About 2 weeks later USAFA granted...

    NMMI? Advice

    Morning, I’m applying to USAFA and USNA. I’m still waiting to hear back from them. In the mean while NMMI is my top back up choice. They recently gave me a scholarship for full tuition and board. ( I’m not sure if I need to pay anything else like a meal plan or uniforms???) If anyone from...

    USNA Decision

    Hello! I submitted my application to USNA in early January. I have yet to hear anything back (it’s currently April 3). Does the Academy still send out acceptances/prep school offers this late?

I have a 3.5 GPA (unweighted), accepted to Boy's State, volunteer firefighter, Varsity XCTF, 1410 SAT, and a 5 on the AP World. In September I attended a local...

    What is a good summer job for my application?

    I am a rising high school senior currently searching for a summer job. However, my availability is limited due to Boy’s State and potentially other programs (SLE, NASS, AIM, and sports), making it difficult to commit to a full summer position. Previously I have been a lifeguard at a local pool...

    Under Wavier Review

    Hi does anyone know how long medical review takes? I've been under waiver review since January 28 for USNA class of 2029 and there's been no updates since then. I've contacted my case manager, and he's told me there's nothing I can do except wait. Other forums I've seen say it just takes a few...

    I am attending an upcoming CWV, but i'm not that strong (couldn't pass the CFA at the moment)

    I've been working on the CFA for a while, and since i'm a runner (XC) the mile should be an issue. The pushups, pull-ups and sit-ups, are the biggest issues as they take more time to prepare for. I've been working on them for a while, but the push-ups and sit ups still don't meet the minimum...

    My guidance counselor’s told me not to focus as much on SAT, is this true?

    At the moment my GPA is an 89, but I am I year ahead in science and have taken multiple AP's. I also got a 1310 on my first SAT and will take it a couple more times. Also what do you think are my chances of attending summer seminar?

    Training for CFA

    I'm a 17-year-old female currently interested in applying to West Point or the Naval Academy. My academics are excellent, so I'm not too worried about that, but I'm not very physically capable. I'm scrawny and the only exercise I typically get is from soccer games/practice or running around at...
