USNA grads can also commission as a Marine Officer, if not interested in being a Naval officer.
My son received an offer to play football for the Naval Academy (and West Point). We enjoyed our visit and he hopes to make a decision soon. The coaches made it seem like an easy process to apply. He would go direct and not attend the prep school. He turned down all the Ivy League schools (no athletic scholarships). He just needs to make sure that he knows what all is involved and make sure he wants that lifestyle compared to a more traditional college like UConn.
Congrats to your son!!!!
My son is interested in service academies, so I ended up with this site. I just want to clarify your statement from statistics. 25% athletics can lower an average(or mean) test scores, as you stated in the video, but not lower a median, in other words, 50% percentile. That's why most colleges, including USNA, provide 25-50-75 values to truncate low and high 25% groups. I have common data sets for USNA for the past 7 years up to the most recent one, because they are publically available. The median is not far from your average number, but rather a bit lower.
Do you think being a lifeguard during the summer would count as a good thing for leadership? I was wondering since I am currently one and would like to know so I can make a plan for getting more leadership opportunities and which ones count.
Lifeguard is usually not a manager or supervisor role; it's more of an individual contributor role. But don't get discouraged; there are usually more leadership roles through school clubs, sports, or community organizations than there is for work in the high school years.
Number of nominations has been increased to 15
I heard the same on another channel. It will be in affect for applicants entering in the fall of 2025.
@@aliciaf.d.5671 BUT the number of beds remains the same. So, I'm not sure how useful the increased nominations are.
@@drticktock4011 consider that they may want to have a larger pool of qualified applicants in case some of the top choices are medically disqualified, or have to go to prep school.
@@drticktock4011 Final acceptance rates will remain the same, but the first weeding-out process by nomination will be more generous and the nomination application is finished much earlier than academy applications. Thus, more applicants will be reviewed by each academy based upon their standards.
I got accepted into the Naval Summer Seminar and I was hoping to ask the admissions officers some questions while I am there, do they allow this?
Straight from the NASS information packet: "Parents who accompany their student on check-in day have the opportunity to meet admissions staff and attend an informational Q&A session."
I recently got waitlisted for nass, is there still a chance of getting accepted at a later time?
Absolutely there's still a chance of getting accepted to the Academy. Sometimes there’s little correlation between those admitted at summer seminar and the official applications. They use it as a recruiting tool so they’re targeting a slightly different applicant pool than the typical class. We've had clients get turned down over the summer and still get accepted in the fall. Keep going!
Revently I have been accepted into NASS and I’ve been to two USNA stems since 8th grade. Is there any way I can email you guys separately I believe you guys can help my progress.
Absolutely! Our email address is support@academyendeavors.com
Are the three optional recommendations in the same online evaluation format or submitted as a letter?
The 3 optional recommendations are also in an online format. Once you put in the recommender's email address into the USNA official application, it will automatically send them an email to complete the evaluation.
