<p>call the admissions office. i think they list several numbers to call on the website or in the catalog.</p>
<p>my daughter called her admissions officer at USNA (not her BGO)
if you don't know who the officer is, you just call admissions and they ask what state you are from and they direct the call to the correct person.</p>
<p>I received my packet for NASS 3rd Session this afternoon!</p>
<p>Congratulations! My son is still hoping and waiting.</p>
<p>Does the letter give an itinerary? If so, can anyone post it?</p>
<p>I am in I got NASS II in the mail today! YAY!</p>
<p>We found out from admissions today that we are waitlisted for USNA SS. I guess this could be worse, but it would be nice to know for sure for planning purposes. We are admitted to USMA Summer Leadership week and need to commit to one of the June sessions by 1 May. Unfortunately, this has potential for conflicting with whatever SS session USNA may give us. If it comes down to a choice between the two we will go with NAVY. To maximize chances we said we would take any of the three. Some questions:<br>
1) Does anyone have any idea what % of the waitlisted candidates get offered a slot?<br>
2) How "down to the wire" do we need to be prepared for - a weeks notice? Less than a week?<br>
3) How is the order of notification of waitlisted candidates determined? Will admissions share where we are on the "list"? We would welcome any insight from others who have gone through this. Thanks!</p>
<p>My son couldn't stand to wait and called the admissions office yesterday, he has a spot for NASS 3. We are thrilled! </p>
<p>I am especially happy that we can book his flight now and not pay a fortune if we had to book it days before. Okay, it's not as large a fortune at the moment.</p>
<p>Amen, wwalrus! Do it now!</p>
<p>NASS session 2...Just got the letter in today!!!</p>
<p>I was just reading some of the other posts about the CFA and was wondering about the B-ball toss. What is the technique for the toss? On your knees? Standing up? From the chest? Overhead? And also, what is a decent score for it?</p>
<p>USNA</a> Admissions - CFA Preliminary Application Instructions</p>
<p>see the above link for details about the cfa.</p>
<p>You don't get your itenerary until your paperwork is received and your spot is confirmed. Believe me, they send A LOT of paperwork. I would just suggest you make copies of everything you sign/send and hold onto it. Just in case. </p>
<p>You will ALL have the time of your life!</p>
<p>Thanks Kathie for the CFA instructions. That helps out a lot. I just sent the registration fee and all of the paperwork in a few days ago to confirm a spot. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>We didn't get an itinerary until we got to NASS...</p>
<p>They sent a packet with class selections (you may or may not get what you chose), gate passes, and a "light" itenerary.</p>
<p>how long did it take from the time you sent in your registration fee to getting in this packet?...and for anyone that has already been to NASS, do they give out a lot of HW type of stuff for your classes?</p>
<p>I think it was a couple of weeks for turn around time. When my son went two years ago, they didn't give him homework, exactly, but there were things he was expected to memorize and know.</p>
<p>lol, the classes aren't "classes" in the sense that you go to class every day at school... they're more like informational sessions about different opportunities at the academy. you never take one class more than once.
however, we had to do "thought of the day" every day. you write about concerns, ideas, stuff about the day and turn it in to your squad leader. those are kind of like homework, i guess.
and of course you'll have to memorize the sheet of rates they give you at the beginning of the week. i wasn't asked any rates before indoc night except once when i sat at another squad's table during a meal, but most squad leaders will ask before indoc to make sure you're learning them. if your squad leader doesn't ask you about them, make sure to memorize them anyway, because you'll definitely need them on indoc night.</p>
<p>yeah they dont give homework. dont worry about keeping your room clean either or anything of that sort. just go and have fun and learn about the academy. just a word of warning, on the night of mock sea trials you will have an hour or so of mock "plebe summer" where you will be yelled at and do pushups/pullups. memorize your rates at night to make this easier ESPECIALLY the mission statement. its a ton of fun though. no one should stress over NASS</p>
