<p>Class of 2012 Profile posted:</p>
<p>I heard during a visit that the # of applicants was down from the 12000 or so range to the current 10,900 or thereabouts? Is this right? someone told me in the past there was up to 15000 applicants/yr. Is this right? Maybe its 15000 inquiries not actual applications. I wonder if they define applicant as the number that complete a full application or do they include also include those that filled out a PA but not a full application.</p>
<p>anyway back to more mundane pursuits.</p>

<p>Note Although it shows 2007, the actual files are for 2009 and 2008.</p>
<p>I'm curious what percentage of NAPS attendees go on to USNA. The profile says 202 entered from NAPS. How many are in a NAPS class?</p>
<p>The NAPS Class of 2009 starts off with 284 Midshipman Candidates.</p>
<p>Other academies use NAPS too. I wouldn't expect any NAPS grads to NOT go on to a SA.</p>
<p>Oh, interesting. Thanks.</p>
<p>My son's NAPS '07 class was about the same size. I'm hazy on specific number, but I believe USCGA was the only other SA w/ candidates @ NAPS -- I think around 60 of them. The class lost a couple dozen members over the course of the year, and I remember @ least one seemingly qualified grad who chose not to go on to a SA.</p>
<p>I think the USMMA uses NAPS too. I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Do NAPSters owe money back if they drop out/change their minds?</p>
<p>NMMI serves as the sole preparatory school for the United States Merchant Marine Academy.</p>
<p>USMMA</a> Prep</p>
<p>Regarding the NAPS Class of 2008, they started with 271 in the class and graduated 200. Last year there were Coast Guard prep students attending. There were 10 Coasties that started and 7 that graduated. </p>
<p>For the USNA side at NAPS, there were 193 that officially graduated and there were 217 appointments given. Of those 217 appointments only 202 accepted and reported for I-Day minus 2 on June 30th. </p>
<p>In regard to the question about financial repayment, there is not one that I am aware of. </p>
<p>It is my understanding that for the current class at NAPS, there are no other SAs other than USNA with students there. From what I understand, Coasties are going to NMMI this year also for their prep school. </p>
<p>Yes, the number of 284 is what officially reported on NAPS I-Day on July 29th.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I must have missed something. If only 193 graduated from NAPS, how were 217 USNA appointments given?</p>
<p>In the past few years NAPS has only been the prep school for USNA and the CGA. The prep school for West point is MAPS. The Air Force Academy also has a prep school and so does USMMA-which is NMMI. I think, if you attend NAPS you owe an extra 3 months or so on top of your 5 years. If you drop out of NAPS or don't go on to USNA nothing is owed.</p>
<p>Not to be too nit-picky, but the prep school for West Point is USMAPS.</p>
<p>Yes, a little nit-picky (I understand)--- Sorry, when NAPS plays against West Points Prep School they call it Maps---must be a nick name. I alway thought it kind of funny.....NAPS vs. MAPS</p>
<p>2012Mom: The criteria for graduating from NAPS is completing the year with a 2.0 GPA or higher. </p>
<p>Per information provided by NAPS, "The Naval Academy Admissions Board offers appointments to NAPS students in early May. Selection criteria include: Successful completion of the course of instruction at NAPS, no failing grade in any subject, favorable physical aptitude and a favorable recommendation from the Commanding Officer of the Naval Academy Preparatory School." </p>
<p>Based upon that, the student could have below a 2.0 GPA but have shown positive progress throughout the year and been able to have the commanding officer recommend that student for an appointment. I know of several that are in this category. </p>
<p>I also know of at least one in the Class of 2008 for NAPS that graduated but did not get the offer of an appointment because of medical reasons. This student was medically DQ'd while in attendance at NAPS.</p>
<p>"This student was medically DQ'd while in attendance at NAPS"
This must be tough to handle. So close but yet no go....</p>
<p>navy_clarinetMom: I can understand that there might be one or two NAPS class members who didn't graduate, but who had made such improvements academically that they convinced the CO to provide the necessary recommendation to get into USNA, but to go from 193 graduates to 217 Appointments in one class that way? That just doesn't make sense to me, when there are so many new, non-NAPS candidates each year who are 3Q'd, but don't get an Appointment. Surely there's just a typo in the numbers??</p>
<p>Sorry, just went back and double checked my source. Just a slight typo, but not that significant. </p>
<p>Here is what the breakdown was for last year. This came directly from the staff at NAPS. </p>
<p>Beginning numbers were
TOTAL: 271
USNA 261
USCGA 10
Priors 51 (USN 35, USMC 16)
Females 55 </p>
<p>Total graduates: 200
USNA appointments: 214
USCGA appointments: 7 </p>
<p>Prior graduates: 42 (USN 30, USMC 12)
Female graduates: 45</p>
<p>Just for the record, these are the official numbers for the Class of 2009 at NAPS right now.
TOTAL: 284
Males: 233
Females: 51 </p>
<p>Priors: 28
Navy: 21
Marines: 7 </p>
<p>We have to remember that the inner workings of the admission process is somewhat of a mystery as to who is and is not given the official appointments. We question why one that is 3Q'd does not get in and then another that was never officially declared as 3Q'd does. I was told a while ago that when appointments are given it is generally because there is something in that particular packet that the admission office sees that we on the outside do not.</p>
<p>NAPS used to be used by all three USNA, USCGA, and USMMA but then USMMA stopped making their contribution to NAPS and I guees you could say NAPS revoked their privileges.</p>
