Naval Academy Summer Seminar Acceptance Emails Are Out

Colleges and Universities A-Z Naval Academy - Annapolis

<p>I would contact them. I thought most decisions were out by now and that you would have heard one way or the other, especially applying that early. Maybe a spam filter caught it? The latest email we got from them told us not to contact admissions directly, but our liaison for the region. The contacts were:</p>

<p>Alright, I know I didn’t get into the summer seminar- but I haven’t received ANYTHING from the academy. I know they got my application because I received a confirmation email, but I have yet to get a response on my rejection.</p>

<p>Anyone else in this spot? Air Force also didn’t send me anything…</p>

83

<p>My son was rejected – letter received by snail mail end of April. He applied at 8:15 a.m. on February 1 hoping to boost his chances – he was told that acceptances are given on a rolling basis. Unfortunately, we live in Maryland, and from what I understand, his rejection had a lot to do with our location. Just after the letter came, we got a call from his blue-and-gold officer who just wanted to make sure he did not get discouraged from continuing his application to the Academy, which he will, but he’s bummed nonetheless. Anyone else get rejected? :-{</p>

84

<p>Our son wasn’t selected for Summer Seminar either. It was the “Big Thing” he was hoping to do this summer, so he was very disappointed. But he is still determined to pursue an appointment to the USNA and is continuing to work hard towards that goal.</p>

85

<p>I can’t emphasize enough to keep the positive attitude – and pass along to your sons and daughters – that the goal is NOT to go to Summer Seminar, but to be there at I-Day/R-Day. There are many reasons, as stated above and elsewhere each year, for not getting selected for NASS, including a big one: where you happen to live. Continue to work on those things that will get you an appointment. My son WAS accepted to NASS 08, but not to the USAFA summer seminar the same year. Then he got a USNA Foundation Scholarship but declined because he also got an appointment to USAFA (but remember, he did NOT get the USAFA ss) – and his I-day is 42 days away. Remember the broader objective – getting, or NOT getting NASS is not a final determinant of your appointment prospects! Good luck!</p>

86

<p>I know you are absolutely right, RaptorDad! To be honest, I think I have a harder time moving on than my son does. We mommies want so much for our kids – haha. My son is excited about another seminar he was selected for, so I’ll focus on that and working on his applications and essays this summer.</p>

87

<p>Cronusmom- We live in Maryland also and our son was rejected a few years back but the week before the third session was to begin he received a phone call from the academy asking if he could attend which he accepted. Only draw back was he had no time to prepare physically but he did just fine and had a great time and is attending at USNA class of 2011. So keep the fingers crossed and just maybe you will get a last minute phone call but if not its not the end of the world Good Luck to your son.</p>

88

<p>That’s awesome, Srhcasper! I’ll let my son know. I guess if someone drops out they start making calls to fill the slot. He’ll take it. Thankfully, our son is an serious distance runner (even in the Maryland humid heat), so he’s got that going for him.</p>

89

<p>Yep, srhcasper is correct, u can still get accepted AND acceptance letters are still going out. I was wait-listed at first and I got my acceptance email/letter last week but unfortunately I made other plans and now I can’t go. So I hope my spot goes to another deserving applicant :slight_smile: (I’m from SoCal though)</p>

90

<p>My son was accepted for the 3rd session but is not really sure what he should be working on physically. He is a very in-shape ice hockey player and trains all summer for that but does not know if he should prepare for the actual Candidate Fitness Assessment or just for the Physical Readiness Test. Any suggestions?</p>

91

<p>the best prep for NASS is to focus on running, and work on upper body strength (pullups, pushups). It will prep you for both the CFA and PRT.</p>

92

<p>I got accepted in Summer Seminar Session One! But my acceptance forms (Medical Attorney Papers, etc) never reached the academy, luckily I called them up. My spots still reserved cause I paid online, but I need to send those forms in. I think the admissions office said they’ll send me the forms again but just in case the post office fails on me again and since there is only 10 days left, can anyone send me an electronic copy or a link ro reprint those? I’ve been looking everywhere but can’t find any. Thanks!</p>

<p>@Future_Seal</p>

<p>I just emailed you all of them.</p>

94

<p>Thanks Katrina! =D</p>

<p>Wow. I got rejected to USNA summer seminar 3. I have a 3.66 GPA, 550 math 520 critical reading PSAT, leader in boy scouts(almost eagle), three sports, and run a 5:10 mile. I have a 280 on the USMC PFT. There must be some damn good applicants this year. Dont take your acceptance letters for granted because some wanted that really bad. Parents, that goes to you, too. If your pushing you kid to go to USNA for the free college, think again. There are some candidates whose parents are against the military and the kids just want to become officers in the Navy or Marines. I know for a fact a friend of mine is just applying for the free education, where I am planning on spending at least 20 years as a Marine Officer.</p>

96

<p>K1ll, honestly your SAT scores aren’t really that great. You have good athletic ability, good leadership stuff, but you really need to improve your SAT and GPA scores.</p>

<p>Also, be weary about saying “I am planning on spending at least 20 years as a Marine Officer”. Just focus on getting into here before you start thinking that far down the road.</p>

97

<p>Session 1 of Summer Seminar start tommorow!! Good luck to everyone that is attending that as well, see you all there!</p>

<p>GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!</p>

<p>Summer seminar was truly one of my greatest summer experiences. I hope you all enjoy it. </p>

<p>I heard there was a 3 mile run. Is that true?</p>

100

<p>My son mentioned it in passing, but it was apparently at a slow pace (not a lot of sprinting or timed like much of the other stuff that week). I think his exact quote was “all we did for PT that morning was a 3 mile run”.</p>
