Thank you for the recommendation.To increase your chances of getting into USNA in middle school, it is best to set a strong foundation that will carry you to outperform your peers throughout high school where your scholarship, athletics, and leadership will be most important.
During middle school, take challenging courses and keep your grades up (This is critical if you plan on applying for certain private high schools).
Focus on your physical fitness and participate in as many sports as possible.
Get involved in leadership roles outside of the classroom such as clubs or sports.
Volunteer in your community and start demonstrating your commitment to service and making a positive impact.
Also, make sure and get on SA mailing lists. Follow their official admissions social media (especially Instagram) for announcements about admissions visits, perhaps near you.What courses and classes could I take to help me stand out from other applicants?
I have been trying to work on my study habits and my time management, thank you!Such great advice above about how you can use middle school to build a strong foundation, starting with great habits. As a college professor, I see everyday how success in college is built on great habits formed in high school — if not earlier.
Those great habits revolve around a few simple abilities: managing time, prioritizing tasks, teaching yourself, paying attention to detail, knowing when to ask for help, being a self-starter, taking responsibility for your results. Those abilities go beyond academics, to also cover leadership and athletics and fitness. And they’re the same abilities that make for a great officer.
So yes, start building those habits now, to the point that they’re second nature come high school. Best wishes!
Could you define SA? Thank you!Also, make sure and get on SA mailing lists. Follow their official admissions social media (especially Instagram) for announcements about admissions visits, perhaps near you.
And do the same for your Senators and Congressman/woman. They often hold Service Academy Open Houses that are great sources of info.
And once you get to high school, have a convo with your school counselor. Who hopefully is familiar with SA’s. They can help you match your classes with the SA recommended courses.
