<p>I've submitted almost all of my application except for my English teacher recommendation. I took English online my junior year and my English teacher this year obviously has to wait some time before she can submit a proper evaluation. She'll have it in by the end of the month. Also, I've had trouble getting in touch with my B&G officer to get an interview scheduled. I doubt this should take too much longer though. Should I be concerned with this information being submitted at this time in the process? </p>
<p>On a side note, I received an invite to candidate visit weekend. The instructions in the letter said to e-mail my admissions counselor which I could find on my CIS page. The only e-mail I could find was my regional director so I sent her an e-mail telling her my name, candidate number, and that I was interested in the weekend of Nov. 18-20. I haven't received anything back, and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this.</p>
<p>I don’t think ou should be concerned at all. Most of my candidates in this cycle, for some reason, do not have their teacher recommendations in.</p>
<p>But it is still relatively early. So, while I don’t suggest you should not get it done, I think you are fine.</p>
<p>Hi all, I’m new on this forum. I’m also applying to USNA this year and was wondering how late would be considered “too late” for getting the application in. My GPA, SATs, and extra curricular activities are all where they need to be in my opinion. However, I am trying to finish off my Eagle Scout rank, and should have that by late October. Would submitting all parts of my application (minus the nomination which would come later anyway) considerably lower my chances of obtaining an appointment to USNA seeing as they use a rolling admissions process?</p>
<p>Baldridge: Politely remind the English teacher on the recommendation. The BGO interview will be slated by the BGO. Leave messages, email them, nag if you have to. You won’t get beaned on the BGO not getting the interview done, but it is important that it gets done. USNA has you on their radar if you’ve gotten a CWV invite, so they do know you’re out there…
Hoaxbuster: As osdad has said, get the application going and add as you can, when you can. Get that Eagle project completed and submitted through your council just as fast as you can, and report it the day/evening it happens. Keep updating your files, and keep looking to see that the updates are getting recorded. Just keep your BGO in the loop at all times (as above, by whatever means you need to do, included sending them a USPS letter, if need be). Show you’re excited and motivated to be applying, and keep the communication going.</p>
