Please chance me at getting into USNA. I’ve already been nominated by a Congressman, just waiting for my results now. It’s been my dream of going for years.
GPA: 3.0 (unweighted)
Class rank: N/A, school does not rank, but I’m not in the top 50%
Class rigor: All honors. School does not do APs.
ACT: 32
SAT: 1950, will not submit
SAT II: Math 2 630, U.S. History 750, will not submit
Extracurriculars:
Eagle Scout
Varsity letter in swimming, track, basketball, lacrosse
Won state for basketball and track two years in a row, went to state every year
I’m in Oregon. White middle-class male.
Honestly I would be surprised if I didn’t get in. I feel like besides my grades I have everything USNA could want. What does CC think?
Hey, I think despite your GPA you are very well rounded and your application is solid, I was hoping you could tell me how you were able to get the nomination? I’m currently a junior and need to be planning for next year when I apply, thanks! Good luck getting in!
I agree. I’m a bit confused about what you mean by your class rank (are you below or above 50%?), but your test scores are great and you seem to have a strong athletic background as well. Have you attended NASS?
I also have a question for everyone:
- Does anyone know how many LOA’s the academies give out at the summer seminars and what the qualifications are for them?
- Do applicants in MD deal with more competition as USNA is located in MD? It is just a myth that I heard but wasn’t sure about.
I wish you the best of luck @gilly2forest . Thank you all in advance.
