<p>Hi There!</p>

<p>I am a Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. I will be leaving this winter and am applying to Umich, Northwestern, and Notre Dame. I applied to Umich out of High School and was accepted but chose to attend USNA. Below are my stats, please be honest! I appreciate everyone's feedback!</p>

<p>High School Stats</p>

<p>3.89 UW/4.1 Weighted
ACT 30
Individual ACT M:33 S:30 R:30 E:32, best composite: 30</p>

<p>College Stats</p>

<p>35 credits from USNA so far, 16 Pending. Will have 51 total by start of spring term</p>

<p>Taken:</p>

<p>CALC I,II,III,Diff EQ
CHEM I,II
PHYSICS I
Intro to Economics
8 Years of Chinese Classes
Rank 550/1100</p>

<p>Currently Total GPA- 3.0
Current Semester GPA- 4.0
GPA prior to transfer- 3.31</p>

<p>I am worried since the Academy is so different from most other places and they do not give + or - grades, just straight A,B,C, or D. Also the rigor is the highest of anywhere I have heard of. Please let me know of my chances for transfer in winter!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>The Naval Academy no doubt is rigorous but so is NU and so are most of the other highly selective schools. At any rate grades aside I think you would likely need to be nearer the top of the class for a realistic chance of admission.</p>
