Still waitin', but preparing for any outcome.
1985 is correct. finish up your senior year with great grades. culivate relationships with teachers, mentors, persons in the community. find something purposeful to do this summer that shows your leadership potential. retake sat's etc early, this may or june or sept. reopen your file at usna, rewrite your essay, update your file with all you have accomplished since your app went in last year. get letters ready to send to congressmen,other nom sources. do as much as you can before the college year starts. get it in early. once at college, embrace it with all your heart. make friends, join organizations that interest you. get A's and B's, hopefully A's. go to office hours, seek out extra help, find a tutor if needed, get to know your professors, make sure they can see that your putting your best effort in .( you'll need recs from college profs this year) nom interviews will be easier this year since you'll be experienced at the process. Max out the CFA.
Great comment. It made me wonder if the old 2014 file is added to the new 2015 file. like the DoDMERB stuff ... old transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, etc.
Maybe just new and updated documents are added... like final transcripts, college grades, prof's rec.'s ... becoming one giant file
USNA1985,
I get the science and math course work
English and history ? Frosh and soph versions of those courses have become almost remedial.
So, what types of content have real lasting value for the USNA academics, as well as, being able to show college level success for a re-apply process?
English - writing, reading literature?
History - world or American
I notice that content tends to suffer in those lower level classes at a state univ. when they are huge 'cattle calls' with 125 to 200 or more students being taught by grad students.
Another factor in the re-apply process .... any summer courses and the first semester, like the fall semester of 2010, will be the transcript "seen" by the USNA's admission process/appointment selection committee, and, by the MOC nomination/interview committee "sees" for possible LOA's and nomination to Class of 2015.
That 2nd semester should also show college successs too. But it won't be over until May or June 2011 for grade/transcript submission. I suppose that the letters of recommendation from prof's can help in supporting a view of how the 2nd semester is going.
Am I off-base with some of the assumptions above?
