NASS Question

Just to be clear, USNA doesn't exactly operate on a rolling admissions basis due to the need for noms.

For those who have Pres noms, getting your application in early CAN lead to an LOA and an early appointment. Ditto for those who can receive principal noms.

For the others, USNA can decide early whether or not you're scholastically qualified but can't offer you an appointment until the MOC slates are turned in, which can be as late as Jan. 31 which, BTW, is the final date for applications other than CFA and medical.

I've had candidates complete their applications in Dec. and Jan. and receive appointments. That said, all things being equal, I'd turn my packet in early.

BUT...the USNA NASS program (which is what was asked about earlier in the thread) is in fact rolling admissions from what I can understand from other posts here, correct? So with NASS, the earlier you get in your application the better, correct?
Wondering then, how quickly do applicants hear about the results of their NASS applications, historically?

I applied for NASS on 1/4/12 and received a letter of selection on 3/5/2012.
 
That was purely for historical info... I have my Appointment for the class of 2017!:smile:
 
DS applied day it opened and heard back march 22 (via snail mail)

A girl in his highschool class got in (also via snail mail) two weeks before he did.
Good luck!

NASS is a recruiting tool and is designed to showcase USNA to geographic areas and schools that traditionally have sent no or very few people to USNA.

Is the Naval Academy on record for characterizing NASS admission in this way (a "recruiting tool") or is that just an observation? I'm just asking - I don't know.

It's apparent when one considers the website, brochure, and that each NASS applicant is a rising senior, geographically dispersed to reflect the appointment distribution, and automatically deemed a candidate for admission. Not a clue what else it might be?

Check it out.

NASS Summer Seminar Brochure said:
The United States Naval Academy Summer Seminar is a fast-paced, six-day experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school. Summer Seminar teaches you about life at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in developing our nation's leaders. If you think that you may be interested in pursuing an appointment to one of the nation's service academies and serving your country as an officer, you should seriously consider attending the Naval Academy's Summer Seminar.

I've personally heard from more than one person at admissions that NASS is a marketing tool to introduce USNA to underexposed areas, such as inner-city and rural communities.
