Does anyone have experience applying for a nomination with Sen. Feinstein? There is mixed information. Some places it says to email all information and others it asks for USPS mail. We just want to be sure to get it right.

I'm curious as to why my USNA portal says "completed - pending review" even though I still have to do my BGO interview and nothing has been updated in my application.

Hi! I had my medical exams over a month ago, DoDMERB sent me an extra form to fill out and inquired about a scar. I sent both back, but my computer bugged out and deleted the text content of the email. They asked for me to send the necessary written information, and I did, but they never...

Would there be any problems with nominations on an even year, my district representative will be up for election in 2023 and Im hoping to get in the academy in 2024. Do they postpone nominations, am I out of luck, or is it going to be completely fine?

After reading countless threads and posts on this website and others I came across some good advice, but not the advice that I need exclusively. Some background on me: I went to the University of Wyoming this past year and studied Architectural Engineering, I decided that the civilian college...

Hey everyone, Back in April, I posted a thread on whether I should attend the Academy or do NROTC at UCLA. I received so much helpful feedback from the forum community. I ended up choosing USNA, which is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Plebe summer was tough but a blast. It’s been...

Hello all, I am currently applying for the USNA. In the application, there is an essay requirement. I am just here to receive feedback and see what I can do better. This is a rough draft, and I expect to change some things in the future. (1) Describe what led to your initial interest in the...

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...

Please ignore any grammatical errors, this is my rough draft and I haven't ran it by my English teachers yet. Other than that, does anybody have any pointers for my essay? (1) Describe what led to your initial interest in the naval service and how the Naval Academy will help you achieve your...

I am thinking about applying to a SA, more specifically USAFA. I've done quite a bit of research and know a lot about the SA experience because I used to live right outside of Annapolis. Now I live somewhere I have a much better chance of getting a nomination, because barely anyone here knows...

Good morning all, I was wondering how USNA's course validation policy works? If I have already completed a year of college and plan on attending USNA, can my college credits for Calculus I, Calculus II, Chemistry carry over? If so, what does this mean for my plebe year academic plan? Will I...

Hello all! I have been accepted to USAFA for class of '25, and have not yet heard from Navy. However, I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility that I might have to make a very difficult decision in the next few weeks if I'm also accepted to USNA. I wanted to get some experienced...

Does anyone know of a decent workout regiment to prepare for the CFA? That'd be really appreciated, thank you.

Hello all, I am a current 4/C MIDN at Virginia Tech. I was in the college program until yesterday, I was just awarded a 4 year National Scholarship (thankfully). Paying for college out of pocket was getting very old. As I search through these forums, I see a lot of stress about GPA and SAT...

I am applying to USNA and am currently in the waiver process. My application is complete including a congressional nomination and I am currently in the "under waiver review" status on my DODMERB account. I was dq'd for an allergy to 2 tree nuts, pistachio and cashew, which over the years have...

The application for the VP nomination just opened (March 1st). I am applying through this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/service-academy-nominations/service-academies-application/. It says to send recommendation letters to the academies themselves. It doesn't really give any more information...

I am applying to USNA Class of 2026. I applied to the Naval Academy's Summer Seminar on January 5th. I understand that applications close March 31st. Will decisions be sent out by April? Or when can we expect to hear back?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any advice for homeschooled applicants. I've looked online and I can't find much other than what's listed on the USNA's website, and it leads me to believe there are not many, if any, out there. I was also wondering how competitive my application will be: I'm...
