Sounds to me like USNA admissions system is working 4.0

Thanks! Yeah, I think NAPS is designed to be challenging and rewarding, so technically, it's going right.
Another indication of you on the outside looking in.

"There are two awesome positions in the navy (or maybe it was the world) -- being an Admiral in the Navy, and being a senior at the USNA." .
Sounds like you aren't gonna make either.

My college bored the crap out of me. .
Could this be why you had such poor grades that you refernced in another thread? Let's stop filling in the "excuse matrix" as someone more eloquent than I put it.

It's very important to me to go to a school that I won't fall asleep in, having experienced a community college and a state school. .
It's becoming more and more important to me to be cheerful that at your present maturity level, and lack of goal oriented priorities that you have not EARNED a spot at the USNA.
Ok, before you come back with a "whoas me" post (edit: as corrected by a Marine, how am I going to LIVE that one down, this should be "woe's me", but I like the Hi ho Silver imagery it gives me when I say it my way, and for no apparent reason am I adding this)...
I applied to the USNA, I got turned down, big fvcking deal.... not EVERYONE gets in, you take your lumps and go on with them. As others have mentioned, there are other routes to a commission and a future of service in the military. It seems as if you are fixated on the Academy itself, and not the goal of becoming an Officer and/or serving in the Marines or Navy. Pick yourself up, stop looking for an easy "in" from someone in the "know", and assess your priorities in life and where you can go from HERE.
Future leaders, NUBS/FNGs et al... listen up... Your reputation, integrity and how you hold yourself in the military is something that will follow you throughout your career, and in many ways affects you in your personal life. Set your goals, take your failures and learn from them, seek advice from your subordinates, peers and superiors, and go from there to make the best of ANY situation. You will be charged for duties as an Officer and leader of sailors/marines, it is important to ensure that you act in such a manner to deserve their respect.

The USNA is about as good as it gets!
And you're basing this off of what, pray tell?
Integer, Integer1, USNAwhateveryourotherscreennameis, in all honesty, if you manifested any of this type of attitude/comments on an Officer Screening board that I happened to be on, you would get low marks across the board from me. Grow up and reassess. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
