    Should I ask for letters of recommendations yet?

    At the moment I'm still missing a math teacher recommendation letter, but I can't use my teacher from sophomore or junior year. This leaves me with my senior year teacher. I don't really know her that well and I'm pretty silent in class, but do well on tests and homework. Should I wait until...

    Asking for clarification for the essay question.

    The essay prompt for the nomination from my senator is: What is the greatest challenge you have ever had to overcome? Do you think they want me to talk about physical challenges something like doing a live burn for firefighter training; or something more personal such as taking a very difficult...

    How do some midshipmen commission into restricted positions?

    Just wondering since I have my heart set on Surface Warfare, but if that doesn't work i'm considering intelligence. I'm currently applying to the class of 2030, and if this doesn't work out i'll go through nrotc or ocs.

    Including Summer Seminar in ECAs

    Hello all, Would it be appropriate to include attending USNA Summer Seminar in the extracurricular activities section of my application? I would like to especially demonstrate how I took on a leadership role within my company’s drill platoon. Thank you!

    Does the academic interest section of my application impact my chances of getting admitted?

    I noticed that I had to indicate which school (math, engineering, and humanities) of study I hope to get my degree in. Does chosing one specific option over another have any weight on my application?

    Should I give my teacher a "brag sheet" before I ask for a recommendation?

    Not that sure if asking for a regular letter is different than asking for a service academy.

    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?
