For my biographical essay my admissions officer wanted me to also add a little thing to it as I am a reapplicant. His words that he said about what I should add to it on top of my essay: "One thing you should be sure to include in it is that fact that you are so set on attending the MMA that you have applied for the 4th time……what makes you so dedicated that you would do that".

How should I go about that?
 
Are you confused as to what you should write or what the question is asking?

Either way, explain why you want so badly to attend USMMA- you're clearly passionate about attending, seeing as you've applied 4 times, so explain why!

Are you aware of some reasons you were rejected the other 3 times?

If so, try and compile those reasons over the four years and state how you have improved in those areas or what strategies you utilized to increase your chances of acceptance.

I hope this helped!

The first time was not completing DODMERB in time due to Covid, second time was due to not being able to get a nomination, and the third time was due to the academy not having any more slots available.
 
Let’s start here. Why is attending USMMA so important to you? Why would you put yourself through this process more than once?
What does attending and commissioning from USMMA mean to you? How do you see yourself as a leader and as someone who has been told no, but fights to be told yes?
What have you done since turn down that has made you a better person, leader, shipmate, and or student? How have you adapted and overcome? Grown as a person?

I think you have a lot riding on this and you are heavily invested and that is causing a paralysis of analysis. Sit by yourself for a bit and think it over. Don’t make it harder than it is.

Your perseverance is admirable. Now tell them about that and your growth.
