Hello All,
For some background:
- My first choice is USNA, and my second is USMA.
- I received a Senator Nom for USMA and my application was strong. My USNA application was basically the same, but I did not receive a nomination for USNA as my district is really competitive.
With all that being said, the main question:
You don’t need a nomination for NAPS, but is it common for someone without a nomination to get into NAPS who isn’t a recruited athlete, for example? I’ve heard you have to be less academically qualified to get into NAPS — my grades aren’t too bad but they aren’t all A’s either. I think I even had a C+ in something. Again, I’m not a recruited athlete, but I do have extracurricular and leadership experience. Is NAPS a likely option or am I pretty much out of the game till next year?
