I am applying to the NROTC program as well as the Naval and Air Force Academies, and all three of these (and nomination applications) require references from a math teacher. I feel that my AP Physics teacher would be able to provide a better reference than my calculus teacher, and he is...

Hello! I've created a draft of my essay for my application for congressional nomination. I'm looking for advice, thoughts, etc. Anything is helpful. Thanks! The prompt is "Discuss one specific experience that has led you to want to attend a service academy." The word limit is 500. This essay is...

Hello! This is my first post on this website! 😁I am applying to USNA for the class of 2030. This school is my top choice and I recently attended NASS which truly was the best experience of my life and I would say sealed the deal for me. My academics are pretty strong; as a homeschooler, I dual...

I made this thread just to ask some questions on how I should prepare for my summer so I can build up a better resume for when applications open.

Hi, I'm currently a freshman in high school, and my goal is to go to USNA. Am I on the right track? Academics: - A's in: English, Band, Ceramics, World History, Algebra 2 + Trig, Spanish 1 - 1 B in Biology (these are all Honors classes) - unweighted GPA is around 3.857 (last time i checked) -...

My DD received appointment to USNA for class of 2029 in December. She was the principal nominee for USNA for our state. She accepted her appointment also in December. April of this year… she tears her ACL playing varsity soccer. Heartbroken is saying it lightly.. she had surgery 5/1 and...

Hey y'all, At the end of every semester, I post a thread just to get some feedback on where I am at and what I need to be doing better. I understand that no one can give me any accurate views of whether I will get in when I apply. This is just to get feedback on what I should be doing. By the...

Hi all, I recently heard back from USNA, USMA, and USAFA. Unfortunately, I was medically disqualified, and the waiver process took too long, so I was turned down for USNA and USAFA. However, my waiver was approved for USMA, and I just received my offer of appointment. While I am very excited...

Sadly I was TD today for USAFA. I wiped off my tears and now I'm determined to reapply again. I'm still waiting to hear back from USNA… but if I do get TD from the navy then my plan B is NMMI. I will do self prep,do ROTC, join CAP, join the army national guard and improve my whole profile for...

If i receive "turned down" does that mean I'm completely out even though I still have the withdraw application option? I just received turned down for class of 2029 and I just want to make sure of what it means. Also, is there any possibility for NAPS or receiving an appointment at a later time?

Morning, I’m applying to USAFA and USNA. I’m still waiting to hear back from them. In the mean while NMMI is my top back up choice. They recently gave me a scholarship for full tuition and board. ( I’m not sure if I need to pay anything else like a meal plan or uniforms???) If anyone from NMMI...

Starting my new job in a few months when I get off AD. However, the agency is waiting for my DD-214 to take into account creditable service. Naturally, I won't get that till I get out and I enter on duty a week and a half later to my new job. I understand that it will only state the years after...

Hi, I am new to both this forum and to Service Academies, and I am a Junior. I didn't know what a service academy was back in December. But then, I met with a B&GO at my school and started doing more research over my winter break. My interest kept growing and growing. I applied for USNA's SS on...

Hi all, I’ve had my application submitted since December 18th. I understand that appointments can essentially come as late as I-day, but I’m just curious as to how common it is for someone to hear back that late. I’ve been stuck with “complete-pending review” for what feels like forever...

Hello. My M/C has been very unhappy at NAPS this year for multiple reasons. However, he has done very well there. His grades are good, he hasn't gotten into any trouble, he's doing well physically/athletically. He does not like the culture and has been telling me he has decided he does not want...

Hi all, I’m trying to help my SO find the documentation he needs to support his VA disability claim. He’s been at this himself for about two years. He does finally have an appointment with a VSO next week. He is a graduate of the Naval Academy and chose be an officer in the Marine Corps...

My daughter was invited to CVW this spring and was wondering if anyone has heard about being able to request a plebe to be paired with? A good friend of hers is a plebe this year and has been a huge component of her interest in USNA, and was wondering if she could be paired with her or in her...

Hey y'all, once or twice a year, I post an update to just see how I am doing, what I need to be doing better, and what my chances are in general. I did one last semester and was not planning to do another for a while, but a lot changed so I decided to do one this semester. I DO KNOW THAT NO ONE...

Hey Y'all, I am a sophomore in High School (Class of 2027). I'm starting my application for USAFA, USNA, and USMA next year. However, it appears that my family is going to be moving states over the summer. Will this affect my chances? Also, what steps should I take when I arrive in the place I...

Since I spent quite a while going through every eczema related thread on here I guess now that I have gotten a waiver for it I may as well make a thread of my own about it for other eczema sufferers. Currently the medical standard for eczema is no medication beyond moisturizer and 1%...
