Send NAPS Questions This Way

Mejmichael most will tell you that when you are at NAPS it is "2.0 and go" that is for the most part true. Keep in mind that the appointment is yours to lose. You will need to get a positive recommendation from the CO at NAPS so just remember to not do anything that could jeopardize that and keep your academics in positive standing and you should be good.

I am not sure where the 92% comes from unless it is taking into account those that start at the beginning of the year and then those that are offered appointments.
 
Not sure where your 92% is coming from but numbers from my daughter's class at NAPS (class of 2008) here are the numbers.

Regarding the NAPS Class of 2008, they started with 271 in the class and graduated 200. Last year there were Coast Guard prep students attending. There were 10 Coasties that started and 7 that graduated.

For the USNA side at NAPS, there were 193 that officially graduated and there were 217 appointments given. Of those 217 appointments only 202 accepted and reported for I-Day minus 2 on June 30th.

The appointments offered are only about 83% for USNA with a 77% acceptance of the appointments from those that started.

I also know that NAPS started with 284 all USNA candidates for Class of 2009 and the current class started with 307 all USNA candidates.
 
why would someone go to NAPS and then decide not to go to USNA.

recruited athletes are sometimes recruited away from USNA while at NAPS. The year at NAPS doesn't count as a year in college so athletes retain all their elibibility. For instance, after the NAPS football season a football player can be recruited by another college.

I read a stat that says that the graduation rate for NAPS football players was 67% at a high point in the recent history.

Any stats on the graduation rate of non-football players?

No idea. The 67 percent was from an article about when the football coach at NAPS switched over to SUNY Maritime. The article stated that the coaches highlight wast that he had a record high graduation rate for football. This was a couple years ago, so I imagine things have changed.
 
Hello, I had a questions about NAPsters when they graduate from NAPS.

Why is it that NAPsters must report to the Naval Academy a day or two before I-Day? What do they do during I-Day while everyone else is reporting?
 
My son went to NAPS in '06-07, and I believe he said a lot of what NAPSters did involved distribution of stuff. Plebes are issued a ton of uniforms and materials on I-Day, and orchestrating distribution takes a lot of arms and legs. I think they had some herding and navigating responsibilities, too.
 
NavyMom15, your Napster will be told to report two days before the High Schoolers' I-Day for their own I-Day experience. They are not there as additional arms and legs and won't be moving stuff around for the detailers at all. If anything their movement through I-Day is to make sure all systems are working, and if not, corrected so that the larger group coming in moves through smoothly. Your Napster may get Liberty (restricted to the Town of Annapolis only) their first night. And once processed will have some time to get into the routine. It's a real benefit.
 
Time at NAPS

I know the academy does not accept these course for credit but do other institutions accept the course work at NAPS for college credit in the event the student chooses not to go onto Annapolis or fails to get an appointment?
 
NAPS acceptance question

The Admissions Board sent a letter of appointment "contingent upon completion of all remaining admissions documents" to NAPS on 02-16-10. Certificate of intent to attend was mailed on 02-23-10. The DoDMERB mailed us a letter of Qualified Status on 3-18-10.

I am assuming from reading others statements that we should expect a packet from NAPS with more formal acceptance paperwork and a background check? How long should we wait for this before calling the admissions board?

THANKS!!
 
In the past, the formal candidate packet for NAPS was not made available until early June. It is generally after Comissioning Week at USNA and graduation of the current class at NAPS. This year's NAPS class does not graduate until the first Friday of June.
 
Testing

Will NAPS Students be required to retake the SAT or ACT during the year they are there?
 
Civies

Out of curiosity can someone tell me what the Civilian close policy is at NAPS? I know USNA plebes do not have that privilege unless on leave. Is that the case at NAPS or are civies authorized on liberty presumably like A-School after you have earned the privilege?

Also the NWU, is that something subsequent classes Will wear at the academy in lieu of Khakis or the Green (USMC style) Camo Dungarees? Once again just out of curiosity.

Ok At Naps are the M/C separated in to duty sections? If so how many?
 
Can someone explain what the general schedule will be like at NAPS. For example I heard that we start off with 6 or so weeks of boot camp and from then I think we would start our academic courses. Can someone clarify that up for me? Oh and what vacation times do we get in NAPS?
 
NAPS is filled. When does USNA fill Foundation Prep School spots....or are they filled too?
