Did you get an LOA? If not, when did you find out of your acceptance/appointment? Thanks!
I did receive an LoA early October. Received my appointment early November. Good Luck!
Did you get an LOA? If not, when did you find out of your acceptance/appointment? Thanks!
your I-Day was on June 29, right? when did you arrive at USNA? did you have your family/friends with you?
So as a previous plebe I know you had a lot of responsibilities along with academics and even athletics. How did you handle those responsibilities along with all the other parts of your plebe year?
Dear Laxer98,
Are Plebes allowed to go off the base on Sunday mornings to attend church in Annapolis, if they so desire? Thank you.
USNAismyplace, take a look at the USNA profile from the last few years for an idea of SAT and ACT scores for each class. You can find dozens and dozens of candidate and appointment profiles on this site on various threads. The appointment threads usually have the most. Test scores are important to USNA, but it is only one of many factors. I have seen kids on he 35 range get TWEs and others with 28s get LOAs. Focus on taking some test prep courses. I recently had a candidate who I am the BGO for jump 6 points on his ACT after spending 3 months doing an online prep and also working with a tutor.
USNAMyPlace...How important SAT's are really depends on your total package..ie.. if everything else is good, but you have weak SAT's, you could get in or maybe get offer to NAPS. Looking at the online profiles here may give you some idea, and probably more valid sample than asking a few plebes what they had. However, bottom line is SAT/ACT are important ..if all other things are equal, the candidate with the higher SAT will get appointed.

Navy Hoops, I have bought three SAT test prep books and I have a SAT math tutor. I practice every day for 20 minutes and take one practice test a week, and have tutoring every two weeks, so I am hoping my efforts will pay off on test day!
Old Navy BGO, I feel pretty confident about the rest of my total package, and I am constantly adding to it. Thanks so much for the insight! I always get excited when a plebe hops on here and asks for questions, as well as when you and Navy Hoops reply. I would be honored to accept a NAPS appointment, and obviously a USNA appointment.
Are you playing lacrosse at Navy?
During your application process and the days leading up to Plebe Summer, did you have any moments of doubt, fear, second thoughts? What turned those around for you?
