<p>Anyone know if Navy looks at semester grades? Just coming up to finals and wondering about it.</p>
<p>You should have a form that says something about sending in fall semester grades. On the same subject, does anybody know if the academy makes decisions about appointment without these fall semester grades? (assuming we're not talking about people getting LOAs)</p>
<p>There is a form on sending in fall semester grades?</p>
<p>We did not find one last year. My son had his guidance office send an official updated transcript. He sent copies of report cards with a cover letter indicating that the official transcript was on its way.
CM</p>
<p>My packet went before they Board, and they want to see my semester grades. I also send them quarter grades. </p>

<p>There is no form for semester grades. In the application packet where the instructions are listed with the month of the year when items should be completed; it states that a candidate should have their guidance counselor submit an updated transcript.</p>
<p>parent0110 is correct. There is no specific form for sending in the senior year grades. West Point's application does have a postcard type form that should be given to your guidance counselor after the first semester of your senior year.</p>
<p>USNA application section "Request for Secondary School Transcript" says:</p>
<p>"If your transcript is forwarded prior to the completion of the first semester of your senior year, it is your responsibility to ensure that your high schol forward an updated transcript to the academy."</p>
<p>I recommend you give your school your candidate number to put on the transcript.</p>
<p>Yes they do. I didn't get an LOA, but I did get an offer of appointment before the end of the semester. However, before I got an offer of appointment they had me fax in my first quarter grades.</p>
<p>What's the difference between the guaranteed offer of appointment and a letter of assurance? I was convinced they were the same thing, but it seems like their not.</p>
<p>Letter of Assurance is something you get early, usually in September. A LOA means that as long as you get a nomination from your congress person and are triple qualified (academically, physically, medically) you will get an offer of appointment. You only get an offer of appointment once you've been found triple qualified, and they have received your nomination.</p>
<p>Tyleroar:
I'm hoping you could help clarify something for me. In November I received a letter from Annapolis stating: "You are guaranteed an offer of appointment if your remaining admission requirements are completed." At that time all I needed was a nomination, and that is the box they indicated. Then today I get a letter congratulating me on receiving a nomination and stating that I was now eligible to compete for an appointment. Therefore, I'm confused on where I actually stand.</p>
<p>That's wierd. My nomination showed up on the CIS, but I never got a letter congratulating me on my nomination. Well, if you got a LOA, and then got your nomination, I would say you're in.<br>
It seems like you must be in. I would e-mail my regional directory, or call admissions if I were you.<br>
Congratulations, it sounds like you're in!</p>
<p>My daughter never received a letter from USNA confirming her nomination either, just the offer of appointment.</p>
<p>That is exactly why I decided to ask the question because at this point I am confused as to what they are telling me. I have this letter when they stated that I had a guaranteed offer of appointment as long as I received a nomination. Then I was checking religiously on CIS for it to be posted. It was posted late Dec., so I figured then hopefully I'd be receiving the official appointment in January. However, today I get this letter stating that I am eligible to compete because they received notice of my nomination.</p>
<p>The letter of nomination is just the standard letter notifying you that you got the nomination. All 3 of my nomination letters are the same and they came about 2 weeks after being posted on the website.</p>
<p>rmoorenc-You got 3 nominations to the Naval Academy? Me too...I don't quite understand why. It's not to my advantage to have more than one is it? I was told that the senators and representative talk amongst eachother so that no one ends up getting doubled up.</p>
<p>There's no need to send in the semester grades once you've gotten an offer of appointment, is there?</p>
<p>tyleroar:</p>
<p>The more nominations the better your chances for a slot. If you can't get in with your congressmans slot then you can be used for your senators slot. At CVW they said that the academy does not like the senators talking to each other. Also if your congressman uses the competitive method and you also get a senator nomination then they concider you at the top of your congressmans list. It doesn't mean you get an automatic appointmnet if triple qualified, like a "principal" nomination does though.</p>
<p>rmoorenc:
I never knew that they weren't supposed to talk to eachother. The person in charge of scheduling the interviews told me they did. I did have a principal nomination, however, so the other nominations shouldn't have mattered.</p>
<p>That's what I wanna know Tyler.... I probably wouldn't be asking this about any other college but the Naval Academy obviously has different admission policies. If you get you apointment is there any point in sending your grades?</p>
