Starting to Worry

<p>So I had submitted my application to the Academy by October in 2011. I have not received anything back and my BGO also says he has no inclination on the nature of my application. Should I be worried because I have not received a Scholastically Qualified Letter yet, or still hopeful as I have had no denial either. At this point what are my chances on being allowed into NAPS the Foundation School. I have a 1370 SAT Composite and a 33 overall ACT with a 35 in Math. I am taking all AP/IB senior courses and have a 4.2 weighted. Have a nomination in and documented. Full varsity with a good CFA. I am just so nervous on how I should feel and would just like to know where my application is or where you might think it is currently. Thanks a bunch.</p>

<p>Your nervousness is understandable. The clock’s ticking. The good news here is you’ve not been sent the thin envelope. Hang on~</p>

<p>The “bad” news is that unless you are a priority minority or a highly recruited athlete, you’re not a candidate for NAPS nor a foundation school. You’re way too strong, really! </p>

<p>Keep the faith, say your prayers, trust the answer will best serve you, and have a good plan B and even C always in this process. </p>

<p>The potentially grave injustice is sometimes for strong candidates like you who are not given that NAPS safety net while others of lesser qual are. No sense fretting about that one though. Just know it’s not an opening barring manna from Navy heaven. </p>

<p>Good luck and keep us posted. TRY not to worry. It is totally wasted, as you’ve done all you can for this season. And you’ve done a really fine job, too!</p>

<p>I absolutely know how badly you want to attend this boat school, but to be honest with you, if you’re the kind of person that is capable of the achievements you’ve listed you will be extremely successful wherever you go. Give admissions a call, ask them if they have your application and join in the fun of waiting. I will say off the record this place is no fun at all to go to. Period. I personally think you have a very good chance of making it but if you don’t, it is a blessing in disguise. </p>

<p>An Ensign is an Ensign.</p>

<p>I’ll concur with the above, you’ll be fine if you come to USNA, but you will have WAY more fun at ROTC or just doing OCS after undergrad. I graduate USNA on May 29th, and those who went ROTC and OCS will be the same rank as I will be… Ensigns are Ensigns. Fly Navy!</p>
