Question about NAPS

Colleges and Universities A-Z Naval Academy - Annapolis
1

<p>I was declined an offer to attend the Naval Academy after high school because of grades. I reapplied after a semester at Cal State Long Beach, and I got an offer. An offer to NAPS. And I'm so happy, and parents are proud. But my question is, is NAPS a guarantee that one will get into the academy? If not: How many receive an appointment from NAPS? What does it take? And what, if any, are the statistics?</p>

<p>I was thinking of taking classes in physics, chemistry, and calculus again; during my summer at a city college. Yes?No?</p>

<p>If you graduate NAPS, you WILL get an appointment to USNA unless something REALLY BIZARRE happens.</p>

<p>If you want to go to USNA and got an offer to NAPS, then TAKE IT.</p>

<p><--- NAPS '87 :D</p>

<p>My son's @ NAPS and this year they started in early August. If you did well enough @ Long Beach to get NAPS, enjoy your half-summer. </p>

<p>Read the thread re: "NAPS stories" -- you'll take placement tests for Eng, Physics, Chem and Calc, land in a suitable tier, then it's "2.0 and go" as long as you work @ PT and keep out of mischief. NAPS</p>

<p>... oops. That got away from me. </p>

<p>If I recall correctly, NAPS graduation rate is 80 - 85%.</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>and I think the 15-20% drop out or are kicked out before they graduate.</p>
