NASS Session 1 2011 was awesome! USCGA is my first choice (going to AIM session 2), but NASS was still a great experience and I recommend that anyone thinking to apply to USNA also apply to NASS
All military academies including the USAFA put a stronger emphasis on math and science so it would appear stronger if you had stronger math skills. But dont worry it will not weigh you down that much. They look at other apsects of the individual to determine whether they are a strong potential candidate for the academies, including your physical aptitude and leadership skills
Hey. to any cadets or midshipmen on here. im a sophomore in HS now but im thinking and really want to apply to the USAFA but i wouldnt mind going to one of the other 2 academies either. would it be worth my while to apply to 2 or all 3 of them or just focus on the USAFA?
I'm going to be a member of USNA's class of 2013 in a few weeks. Basically, if you are truly interested in all the services and thus, the academies, then by all means, apply for all three. You may live in a district that is quite competitive for one academy, and not the other, so it is to your benefit. Do a little bit of reading, and if possible, look to go to the various summer seminars each academy offers for rising seniors. Going to USNA's summer seminar really sold me on it.
dont bother preparing, as there is no amount of time that can get you ready for the serious ass-kicking that every plebe/doolie/smack recieves for 9 straight months.
oh that book "how to get in, how to prepare, how to survive" or something (its about USAFA). Total bullshit. it was written based on 80's information and leaves out like 90% of what BCT is like. Like i said, get in , but dont try to anticipate what it will be like. you cant
Just wondering, I got a letter from USNA about track. I am pretty bad at math, but good in every other subject. How is it at usafa for those kinds of people?
wow. so like 5-6 months. I'm guessing you're going to be a senior in HS this year? So if you apply to several like you have, did you have to do everything twice (nomination process,cadet fitness test,etc.) ? sorry about all the questions I'm just trying to figure some stuff out.
No problem. You can take the Candidate Fitness Assessment more than once, but you can submit the scores of one test to as many academies as you like. In my state (Colorado), the Nominations packages apply to all academies, so you only have to do it once for each state representative. At the Coast Guard Academy, you actually don't need a congressional nomination. Also look into the Merchant Marine Academy; that's a great school and you have alot of options after graduation.
Summer Seminar at USNA session 2, Charlie Company. Also consider the Coast Guard Academy... A unique institution with an amazing mission. Best of luck to you.
minorities have a huge advantage, the academy hasn't had a white male brigade commander for quite some time now(around 4 years or so) and they love to tout affirmative action and how diverse the new incoming class is.
hey anyone whos in USNA i want to join the academy and im smart enough but im not fit enof im only a freshman but i wanna get started cuz i heard you had to start applying junior year so can anyone help me with some work outs cause i really wanna join the navy
hah, then you better hit the gym and lose some weight..you might also want to know that the nomination process in volves being recommended by two US Representatives, one US Senator, and possibly the VP of the United States, if you can manage to pull that off (only 5 kids do)
to make sure you arent confused teammalaya MZ475 means that you must have at least 1 nomination... and he forgot the Presidential Nomination... which i received and by the way i also received my appointment package to the USAFA.
someone needs to teach these plebes how to do push ups

Go for as many as possible. I'm almost done with my application process, and it's long and tedious, but completely worth it.

They actually accept a slightly higher percentage of guys into the academy, but it's pretty equal.
