I'm a senior in high school looking to go to USAFA or USNA. I've just received two letters of recommendation from teachers, and one from a Veteran I worked with for a Boy Scouts project. I have a couple of questions: 1) Can I use the same letters of recommendation for college and for...

Hi guys, I am a high school senior applying to USAFA and USNA for their Classes of 2025. I wanted to post some of my credentials and see if anyone thought I had a chance at being appointed to either academy. Without further ado... Academics: -3.94/4.0 Unweighted GPA -33 ACT (35 English, 35...

First of all, sorry if this question's already been asked, it's kinda hard to specify this in the search tool. I was basically just wondering if whether a foreign language minor affects where a graduate is stationed. For example, if I chose to minor in Arabic, would there be an increased chance...

I put down and saved all my recommenders and evaluators, yet they say that they have not received any emails from USNA. I tried deleting them and re-entering them with no luck. (The app says once I press ‘save’ it will automatically send them an email). I tried emailing USNA with no response...

Hello, I had a couple questions regarding underage drug and alcohol usage and the effects it has on my application. First off, does the Naval Academy drug test during the DoDMERB exam? If so, is it a hair test or a urine test? Secondly, (and this is a hypothetical scenario) if someone used...

Once you finish your application, it asks you to check all the boxes in the my progress tab. Of course teacher revaluations are up to the teachers, But how does the candidate send in ACT/SAT scores, Transcripts, personal statement? If you have any clue, please tell me! Thank you!

Posting this in USNA as recommended by usna1985... I'm well aware that if I attend USNA, it is very hard to land a slot in intel when you initially commission. However, I came across that there are Option programs where you serve X amount of time as a SWO and then automatically transfer to...

I'm well aware that if I attend USNA, it is very hard to land a slot in intel when you initially commission. However, I came across that there are Option programs where you serve X amount of time as a SWO and then automatically transfer to another area such as Intel or IP. I'm a bit confused on...

I'm sure that someone has already posted a thread like this, but I wanted to hear it from someone with a more recent perspective since I'm sure standards change each year. I am part of a charter school, but am technically homeschooled. What are some extracurriculars/sports you've done as a...

This is so cool - what the heck?! Anyways I have became fascinated with the academies over quarantine! I put together a resume and I was hoping you guys could point out strengths/weakness's Academic: Freshman: 4.0 GPA (my school doesn't do weighted) Took 2 (math, language) /3 (english) honors...

I am having trouble with trying to figure out my hair for Iday. I am a female, and my hair is curly and frizzy, and is cut just below my collar, so I can neither put it in a bun nor wear it loose. My hair naturally exceeds 3" from my scalp. Any advice?

Signing off the USNA board after not receiving an appointment, and grateful to many on this forum. Thank you to everyone who posted - we didn't log in a lot, but we read the boards often. As a result, we've recommended them to many people. At this point we are very reflective and feel like...

Does anyone know until when will they release acceptances or denials for the online summer STEM 2020? Several of my friends said that they have already received emails last week confirming their acceptance to summer STEM. Since I haven't received an email yet, does that mean that I didn't get...

What happens when a midshipman candidate who is prior enlisted decides they no longer want to attend the academy or NAPS. Are they sent back to the command they previously came from or sent where ever the needs of the Navy are? Do they get to finish the remainder of their contract with the same...

What happens when a midshipman candidate decides they no longer want to attend the academy or NAPS. Are they sent back to the command they previously came from or sent where ever the needs of the Navy are? Do they get to finish the remainder of their contract with the same rate?

Hello. Sorry if this has already been asked in the past. I tried to find an answer to my question, but I didn't find one that matched it. I know that IB and Dual Enrollment are different things. Does the Naval Academy look at them the same, or do they prefer one over the other? Also, I didn't...

Hello. Sorry if this has already been posted before, but when I looked, I didn't find anything that answers my question. I will be a Junior this coming fall, and in addition to applying for the Naval Academy, I also plan to apply for NROTC. In sophomore year alone, I earned 17 credits worth of...

I know that completing a medical exam is a requirement for attending a service academy. Do you need to complete several forms and have several exams done for each Service Academy, or could you just use one form for all?

I've heard that most people who attend NAPS get into the Naval Academy. Is it possible to apply for NAPS and then just transfer to USNA, or is NAPS by invitation only?

I am currently a sophomore. When should I contact my Blue and Gold Officer?
