I know that there is still time before most of the TWEs come out but I'm trying to get prepared to decide if I should re-apply for 2024 while a freshman NROTC. I honestly don't know if I will do this but I am leaning that way. I read in the sticky for re-applicants that we should contact the regional admissions person at USNA and my BGO in June or July to find out where I need to improve. I would try to improve in all my areas but I would first like to know from USNA what held me back.
Is it realistic to expect that USNA will honestly tell me my weaknesses? The reason I ask is because through this whole application process I have gotten so little feedback from anyone. In August, when I interviewed with my BGO he told me I was a very strong candidate in all categories but there were no guarantees. If I'm not USNA material, I wish someone would come out and say so. Kind of like what a coach does - tell you what you gotta work on. If there's something about me that especially needs improvement, I would love to hear that. I think the big missing part of the application process is that applicants don't get much feedback so they can either focus on their weaknesses (if they can) or "get off the pot". I'm wondering from those who know way more than me (probably most of you) if that feedback will come after the TWE.
