Hello! I received notice this morning from DodMERB that I had a single disqualification on the account of a past shoulder dislocation from a couple years ago. It says “under waiver review” on my portal. Does anyone know what the chance of me getting a waiver for this is? My BGO said that I was...

Good afternoon, I'm currently a rising junior in high school with ambition to attend the USNA Class of 2029. I would be very grateful if you could take the time to review my essay I'm writing. I know its very early to be writing an essay - but I want to get someone's opinion on it. My essay is...

Hi all. One of my goals is to become a pilot for the military and I am working towards an appointment to the Naval Academy. I heard getting started early is best and was wondering if I was on the right track. I started my first sport wrestling in the fall. I managed to get 6th in my district I...

Good evening SA Forums, I have a few questions that need answers and just observations and advice of what to do! I put them in bullet points so that they are easier to answer. If you do not know, I am considering applying to USNA in college. I am high school senior who is nowhere near a...

Hello SA forums, just wanted to get some informed opinions on some things and my current situation. I would like to attend the Naval Academy, but I am nowhere near a competitive applicant. The next best thing is NROTC. In the area I live in, there is only one school (School A) that has NROTC...

Hello, I just got a medical waiver for USNA this week. I have a nomination as well as LOA. How long can I expect before I get an official appointment? I am a little bit worried as in the past I have had trouble getting official correspondence e-mails to my inbox. Any help in this area is...

Hello service academy forums, my situation is complex. I am an 18 year old, female senior, in high school and I discovered the service academies in March of my junior year (2022). I had no idea what they were and had never heard of them. After doing some intense research into them, I knew this...

Hey everyone, I am a current plebe (Class of 2026) at USNA and willing to try and answer any questions ranging from the application process to life at the academy. As a little background reference, I am a reapplicant having been originally denied out of high school. I did a year of college...

Even though the academy is a relatively full ride, what does the academy do with other scholarships that we receive and are sent to them? I saw in the permit-to-report checklist that I should send them to the Midshipman when the Academic year starts

" R251.15 - Release to Full/Unrestricted Activities regarding your athletes foot infection from your doctor " This is what is required of me from DoDMERB in order to become medically qualified. However, I am at a complete loss as to how to provide this information to them. I have talked to my...

I was looking at another thread and was seeing stuff about GPAs so I thought what is a good one and how good is 4.33. Thanks!

I am interested in attending graduate school (with interests in pursuing either a MPP, MPA, or MGA) right after I complete my undergraduate studies and receive my commission from NROTC. I want to know what are the possibilities of the Navy allowing me to do this, and what the commonality of...

Hi I’m 16 and planning on applying to all the academies, and hoping to be accepted at the Naval Academy specifically. My question is this, I want to get a job to be able to pay for swim meets, driving places, and for some extra-curricular competition math classes that my parents have refused to...

I was wondering if your ABS skill assessment tests can be failed or if they are strictly for placement into a math course. If you do poorly on the math exam, would USNA reconsider your offer?

I’m a USAFA class 26’ applicant and this is my first time creating a thread on this forum. I am currently in a “good” dilemma because I have received the FFS and I have received an appointment to USNA. My heart was completely set on attending USAFA after attending the Summer Seminar but when I...

I've currently been disqualified by DoDMERB for some minor and major things; one major thing is color vision deficiency. I have not heard back from admissions or DoDMERB except for the "Under Waiver Review" that is posted on the website, and I know that USNA gives out very few waivers for my...

Just found out a few days ago that I've been accepted into the USNASS, wondering what to expect and what I should prepare for before! Ive been preparing for USMA for so long now, my knowledge of the Navy is a little pathetic. Any tips or expectations would be great!

Will the academies ever give waivers to applicants if it limits their service selection upon graduation? For example, would they waive a condition that maybe cannot be considered for waiver to enter aviation but would be fine for other assignments? I understand many factors are taken into...
