How does wearing retainers work during Plebe Summer? I'm finally getting my braces off but now I am worried that I will not be able to wear my retainers for the time I need

Yes, I am increasing my protein intake significantly along with lifting but as a tennis player there's a lot of cardio which has kept me quite lean

Is the validation completed by either a placement exam or high scores on the AP exams or do plebes have to do both? I have all 5's but I took Calculus BC over a year ago and decided not to take Calc III my senior year, I will be automatically placed in Calc III because I don't think I will be...

I know that USNA has a minimum weight for each height and if those are not met by I-Day you may face repercussions. However, I am about 5-6 pounds short of the requirement, but I have always stayed around that weight and truly could not put on a couple more pounds even if I tried (asian genetics...

Today USNA reached out to me asking for extra paperwork for my DQ so they can make a waiver decision. Do I send the paperwork to USNA directly or through DODMERB since this was not posted onto my DODMERB portal and just simply an email from USNA Medical Admissions.

I provided some context about the Service Academies. My teachers wrote a separate LoR for my SA applications vs. civilian colleges which I think is super helpful in making sure the SAs are getting a letter tailored specifically to what they are looking for.

Cornyn and my MOC! I got my Conditional LOA on April 1st to USNA

I sent in what I deemed to be likely requested, but DODMERB did not respond which is a little concerning.

Congrats!!! How long did he wait between the LOA and waiver? searching for some optimism....

Me too! Have you contacted anyone about it?

you will definitely have adequate time to sleep at NASS as long as you are in bed before 12 am which I don't think is too hard of a task

I would not say 2 weeks is accurate. I have an LOA but have waited for a month now, but no answer. I have a couple friends who have been waiting for 2 months plus.

With the number of people still waiting on a final decision from USNA (waiver/waiting list), I am starting to worry about how close to I-Day I will receive a decision. Since there is a great deal of paperwork that needs to be completed by I-Day, is there a way to ensure it will all get completed...

1490 SAT which is about 33-34 ACT is what got me an LOA, but always aim high. However, I would say work on your extracurriculars and leadership equally if not more than your test scores. I met a midshipman who had scored in the 1200s but had excellent leadership positions in high school, so it...
