Living near the Academy

<p>Are there any current mids or parents of mids here who live in Maryland or near Annapolis? I know there are many applicants in the area around USNA, so I'm just curious as to how competitive it is. Could you please share thoughts, experiences, stats, etc.</p>

<p>Both Maryland and Virginia are extremely competitive areas. Last year Senator Warner had over 400 applications for nominations. Out of the 400 applications, 20 were interviewed for each service academy. Any applicant who already had a nomination from any other source was not offered a nomination.</p>
