admission

I watched a USNA Admissions live stream and they said that the earlier you submit your application, the earlier the board will review it. What does this mean and how does the process work? If this is the case why do they take so long to deliver appointments?

To receive an LOA do you need 100% of your application done (including BGO interview)? Also does already having a nomination boost your chances of getting an LOA?

I have just finished my DODMERB and have just received a nomination (to USNA) from my JROTC instructor. When is the earliest I can receive a letter of Appointment to USNA?

I am going to be a Sophomore this year in High School and really want to attend the Naval Academy. Should I contact my Blue and Gold Officer now or wait later?

I emailed by BGO and he told me that I have finished 2/3s of the application and he said I should receive the DodMerb application soon. This was two weeks ago and I still have not recieve any such email, how much longer should I wait?

When I went to NASS one of the admissions briefs talked about USNA only caring about the English and Math section and how they superscore between the SAT and ACT.

When I went to NASS (Naval Academy Summer Seminar) one of the midshipmen told me that to get an appointment you are really only competing against people from your state. They continued to say that this is why it's very hard to get an appointment from Virginia or Maryland (I am from South...

Does anyone know if the USCGA Admissions office is open on the weekend? I have been trying to get in contact with LT Rivera for a few days, but I have not been able to reach her. I sort of have an urgent situation, which is why I am asking.

I fully intend on reapplying if I don't get in this time around because it's been my dream to serve my country and attend USNA. I haven't received a TWE yet and I'm just wondering if it's ridiculous to think I could be appointed at this point in the process. When do they typically respond if so...

First, a West Point Cadet held a meeting a Gibbons to talk about West Point life etc. and he said to contact your Field Force Representative as well as your regional admissions team. I want to do this to get my name out there but I'm not sure what the best way is to do this. I am currently in my...

Hello all, this will be my first post here, I've been interested in the Naval Academy since February of last year, for a multitude of reasons that others before me have had, but another reason that I believe is special to me. The Cyber Operations Major. Since November last year, I decided...

What is varsity navy soccer like? If I play intramural, is it possible to play varsity later? Also, are midshipmen required to play sports?

Does anybody know how many dedicated slots there are for prior-enlisted soldiers? Is it split into reserves/active duty? Are only combat veterans allowed to apply?

Does anybody know how competitive it is to receive a nomination from the Secretary of the Navy as a prior enlisted sailor? Is it easier than securing a nomination from a Congressional Representative? I don't think I could stand a chance at securing a Congressional nomination required for admissions.

If you are/were a successful USCGA applicant who gained admission, what do you think were some of the determining factors that helped you get in? Obviously it is different for everyone, and I understand that in no way does replicating similar factors assure admission, but I am still curious and...

Hello all, I know West Point traditionally gives major weight towards having varsity sports in high school but would students be penalized if varsity sports weren't even available? I recently transferred to a new school for my Junior and Senior year of high school that does not offer any form...

Hello all, I have recently decided that I want to go to USAFA no matter what. I am currently a junior in high school and I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on how my resume is looking so far and where I can improve! GPA: avg including this year is 4.5, (this year only is 4.7)...

As a high schooler I used marijuana an average of once a month with friends, experimented with adderal a handful of times (about 10), and used nicotine heavily for about a year as I was addicted (through a vape; I’ve never touched a cigarette). However I no longer use any of these substances and...

I am going into my junior year and my dream is to get into West Point. The only problem is I did not realize this until halfway through sophomore year. I have started working very hard and pursuing better grades and leadership status. My freshman year GPA was a 3.1 (4.0 scale). Sophomore year...

I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm interested in either attending USAFA or USNA but I'm in a sticky situation. This semester wasn't a particularly good one for me, and while I normally perform very well in school I ended this semester with a 3.6 weighted GPA and a 3.16 unweighted with (as...
