Chances of getting into the Naval Academy?
If you are being recruited by the Naval Academy swim coach, then, if you are deemed to qualify scholastically and physically, you will be offered an Loa(letter of assurance.) http://www.usna.edu/admissions/steps10.h... If you do not have access to an automatic Presidential Nomination from a parent who is active duty or retired military, the Naval Academy Congressional Liaison Office will contact your Moc(Rep and Senators) to whom you have applied for a nomination and inform them of your Loa. One of the Moc will most likely issue a nomination. Each Moc can issue ten nominations to Candidates compete for an offer of appointment for each vacancy that he has that year at each service academy. Mids who receive an appointment and also received an Loa are not charged off to the nominating Moc as one of the five nominated Mids he can have at the Naval Academy at any point in time. If you are not found to be scholastically qualified, but not too far from being scholastically qualified, you will probably be offered a place at Usnaps(Naval Academy Prep School.) On enrollment at Usnaps, you will be enlisted in the Navy Reserves and placed on active duty status. About 90% of Usnaps students have never been prior enlisted Navy or Marines. On successful completion of the Usnaps year, you will be offered an appointment to the Naval academy which will either be based on a Moc or Presidential Nomination if you have been offered one or if you have not received either of these than it will be an appointment based on a Secretary of the Navy Nomination which is available since you are enlisted in the Navy Reserves. If the Usnaps year is not successfully completed, your Navy Reserve enlistment obligation will end and you will be able to do whatever you wish. Good Luck!
What are my chances of getting into the Naval Academy with an LOA?
I've always wanted to attend the United States Naval Academy and recently received my Letter of Assurance contingent only upon my nomination. I'm ranked 24 out of 400 in my class with multiple captain spots, extracurricular activities, and a 4.0 unweighted GPA (4.7 weighted). My congressman recently informed me there are no available nominations for the Naval Academy this go around which means I have to compete for Senator and VP nominations. I'm extremely worried based off of football and basketball recruits who have committed to Navy from NC. I personally even know one of the kids that just committed for basketball. What are my chances looking like, as of now, at getting a nomination and being accepted. Based off my LOA, does the nomination have to be a primary nomination or can it be alternate as well? Will my LOA get me into NAPS? Thanks a bunch for the help. I was the first in my county to get my Blue Gold interview in and I've been really stressed out since then. I'm just too excited and want it so bad! It's always been my dream and lifelong goal to become a Marine Corps Infantry Officer.Thanks for the help again.
How good are my chances of getting into the Naval Academy?
I clearly never said there were 4000 candidates left in my district. I'm not retarded. That is the national pool. Each congressman (435) can nominate 10 per district and an additional 10 for vacancies of students in the academies. I knew a guy who got admitted last year but turned it down so now 20 candidates received a nomination from my district. I am competing with those kids now. If I don't get in from there I go into the national pool. As for a grammar mistake, get over it I didn't know I would be critiqued for that on here. If you're not going to help answer my question you can leave. And to the guy who thinks I'm lying, what is the matter bro? All I did was list my credentials. If I was lying I would have put a higher SAT score because that one is embarrassing. My extracurricular activities are my greatest assets. If someone (an academy graduate) could put this into a better perspective for me please help.

Do I have a chance at getting into the US Naval Academy even after bombing a semester of high school?
A2AYes, you can. I had a sub-par GPA, having failed at least one class and not giving a hoot about most of the others. I didn’t have any AP courses under my belt and hadn’t taken any Physics (wasn’t offered at my backwoods highschool). Calculus?! Hah!How do you do it?Play the race card, if you can. The primary reason I got in (as was made very clear by the admittance officer in charge of my file) was that I claimed to be 16% native american. Can’t prove it, to be honest. Just heard a rumor that my grandmother on my dead-beat dad’s side was full blooded Cherokee. I do get a bomber tan and have slightly slanted eyes. But who knows?Also, I had god SAT/ACT test scores because as much as I hated doing homework, I prepared hard for them.Final disclaimer, I had to go to NAPS in Newport, RI which may also be the case for you if the Naval Academy deems you as a possible asset that needs some academic refinement before admittance.Good luck!
Is there a chance I could get into the naval academy?
Keep working hard to keep your grades up. Be sure to balance your time well and keep your goals in front of you. A varsity letter in a team sport that is physically challenging will definitely help your chances. Two sports is even better. Try to get a leadership position on the team. As for being dyslexic, it could pose a problem, or it could be avoided. Dyslexia is a medical disqualifier for military service normally. However, if it isn't a bad case and you are an extremely strong candidate in all other categories, you could receive a waiver and be allowed entrance. Research DoDMERB (Dept. of Defense Medical Examination Review Board) and see what your case would qualify as. Being accepted is as hard in Ohio as any other state. Just work your hardest and know that it will all pay off. Make sure to start the application process early and work hard to keep your grades up, do well in your sports, and overall, manage time. If you can, bring that 3.7 up a bit and score well on the SAT or ACT. I would reccommend applying to all the academies and not just USNA if you truly want a military career. Check out the Naval Academy's website at www.usna.edu. I hope this helped and I wish you luck on your path to the Academy! God Bless
What are my chances of attending the Naval Academy?
The probabilities vary from year to year. The year I was accepted, the academy received approximately 20,000 qualified and appointed applications. 1,500 were sworn in on Induction Day. That works out to about 7.5 percent.That answer is complicated somewhat. You must be “Appointed” as a candidate. Each US Representative and US Senator is allowed to have up to five serving midshipmen at any given time. The US president has some number of appointments, the Mayor of DC has five, and there are a few others. Graduates of the Naval Academy Preparatory School who meet all other requirements are allowed to apply to USNA.Each of these people who can give appointments have their own application processes and requirements. Many require applicants to take tests, have an SAT score of X, have a Grade Point Average of Y, and so on. You must first meet these requirements to be considered for an appointment. So, for example, you go to your congressman, go through his or her application process, and meet the congressman’s requirements. The congressman currently has three midshipmen serving; Thus, you are competing with other applicants to your congressman for one of two Appointments the congressman intends to make this year. Those two appointments make up part of the 20,000.Bottom line — the US military academies: Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine, are among the most competitive and difficult to get into of all colleges and universities in the US, including Ivy League schools.
