<p>What are the chances of female twins making it into the naval academy?</p>
<p>If you’re both qualified and competitive w/ this years applicants and both receive noms then it’s certainly not unheard of…there were actually quite a few twins that were in my class back in the day.</p>
<p>Great response as it says it all. There are a surprising number of twins there. Most amazing about that are their parents! Challenging imagining the organization, piles of paper, checklists … X 2 on EVERYTHING! :eek:</p>
<p>And then when you note TWIN GIRLS!!! :eek::eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Mind boggling …
</p>
<p>well, we are both freshmen, so, we still have until basically junior year. my dad is helping both of us. both of us run xc and are in all honors, and we are both very involved in njrotc, and we both look towards being leaders. we are trying to train so that we can make it onto varsity next year, but we both have to work extremely hard. any suggestions on how to make us two stand out?</p>
<p>are there many cases where two competitive twins apply and only one makes it in?</p>
<p>What is “many?” But generally,count it. While none here would know the specifics, all one needs to do is consider the realities of MOC nomination processes.</p>
<p>how should a person start to prepare themselves to better improve their chances? i have wanted to go, and i dont really know how to start. ive started, but i know i need to do more. what should sat scores look like? weighted gpa? leadership roles which are look highly upon? clubs? awards? classes?</p>
<p>What do you mean by count it? like its most definitely possible because of how many people apply and the small number of people that actually get in? (sorry about all of these questions, i just don’t quite know where to start)</p>
<p>Here’s an, perhaps “the” initial answer: Buy Sue Ross’ “The Naval Academy Candidate Handbook.” It’s not perfect, but it’s very informative. About now, there will be plenty of used ones coming available on Amazon. Get it, read it, then ask away. Best wishes as you begin this complex journey.</p>
<p>I have identical twins currently at the Naval Academy (male). They are just completing their 2nd year. In fact, there are 4 other sets of twins (that I know of) in their class alone. There are also many twins in the other classes.</p>
<p>I don’t know if being a twin is an advantage or not. I would imagine the admission process treats them as individuals. One thing is for sure - the academy seems to have no problem with admitting twins.</p>
<p>And - yes - it was a lot of paperwork.</p>
<p>memphian…can you elaborate on how the nom process went w/ yours?</p>
<p>I’ll go out on a limb [with NO statistical backup] and say that either both will be accepted or neither will be accepted. [Although I will disprove my own statement and say I know of one instance where one twin was offered NAPS and the other NA]</p>
<p>Twins probably have taken similar classes, been involved in similar activities, and are either “great” or not, i.e. NA material or not.
I think [as in its just my opinion] that the Academy generally likes the idea of twins/siblilngs being in attendance. Are there extra points given? Probably not, but I’ve seen enough examples of twins/siblings in attendance to lead me to believe that, qualifications otherwise being present, twin/siblings are given favorable consideration.</p>
<p>Not to clutter the thread with identical responses but there are a ton of twins in 2013. At least three pairs that I know of.</p>
