Midshipman 4/Trash
For all of you who desire the Naval Academy, keep this in mind:
I got a 1400 on the SAT, will rank in the top 15 perceent of my graduating class (of 550 kids), played 3 sports, had a lot of community service, and received a nomination from my congressman. Yet I did not receive an offer of appointment to USNA or NAPS. It seems like my record fits the profile of an ideal appointee. I just wanted to post this to inspire all of you potential applicants to push yourselves harder in school and sports, because the Academy admissions office is obviously looking for the BEST of the best.
Also, make sure you have a back-up plan. I'll be going to Georgia Tech this fall on a Navy ROTC scholarship, and I had my NROTC scholarship offer back in November. I'll be re-applying to USNA for the next candidate cycle, because I still have a dream to go there. But at least I will get a commission somehow if the Academy reapplication doesn't work out.
