Hello everyone.
About a month ago, I received a TWE letter of denial to USNA after receiving my congressional nomination, but I really want to attend this incredible institution, so I have regrouped and have come up with a plan, and I just wanted to see what the Service Academy Forums community think.
I HAVE READ THE "Reapplying to USNA (after a turndown)" AND "Previous Candidates & College Candidates" ARTICLES.
