USNA Candidate's Application

<p>Hey all, </p>

<p>I was just wondering if anyone who's already gone through the process can address this question: In the USNA candidate's application, which teachers are recommendations needed from? </p>

<p>Btw, anyone else here going to NASS session 1?</p>

<p>I believe they want recommendations from English, Math, and Chem/Physics teachers.</p>

<p>Im pretty sure just english and math. I just checked my CIS and it only had categories for those two.</p>

<p>Yeah there is no physics/chem recommendation</p>

<p>I had a hell of a time getting these when I moved last summer, so if you will be doing anything in the near future that will prevent you from easily getting parts of your application done, do it NOW, trust me. </p>

<p>This thread is a list of everyone accepted to NASS this year. Do a search and you will find tips/advice for it. Have fun!

<p>I'll be going to NASS session 1 also. How did you get your application already?</p>

<p>erbium: If they did it like 2010's, then they'll send you a small letter in the mail with the application information.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks. Last letter I received was the confirmation of payment to NASS.</p>

<p>Yeah...2010 was all online. You just get a small letter with the web information.</p>

<p>I have to admit...2010's application just wasn't as fun as 2009. I loved the Questionaire with all the "like-dislike-neutral" questions. My favorite? "Would you enjoy chasing outlaws in a sheriff's posse?"</p>

<p>Of course I put a big dark bubble in the "Like" column.</p>

<p>thanks to all for the info/help</p>

<p>erbium - i haven't received my application yet, i was just wondering what was on it so that if i do i can get a head start... see you at session 1 :)</p>

<p>we got our candidate numbers shortly before NASS, which allowed us to log in to CIS and begin the app process. like others have said, approach teachers about recommendations as soon as you have access to the application online. you'll need their e-mail addresses.</p>

<p>Dmeix my favorite was the "Would you enjoy being a gynecologist". I was like why yes I would. HAHAHA</p>

<p>That last post made my skin crawl. You might think it but don't go aroung sayin' it.</p>

<p>^^^ could not agree with you more.</p>

<p>I went to NASS, and got an appointment to Navy. But West Point is better. Go ARMY!</p>

<p>you silly ragmanlaw....
some of my favorite folk are Army
but please do your cheerleading on that forum
we love ya but
GO NAVY
BEAT ARMY</p>

<p>I had written a nice long thing about NASS and some tips for the admissions process, but my browser crashed and I am not typing it again. Maybe later.</p>

<p>I got my candidate number today. =D</p>

<p>I got my number too :) </p>

<p>Just verifying what other people have said, it is english and math recommendations that are required</p>

<p>I totally forgot to ask my teachers yesterday on the last day.
Should I wait until early august or try and find there emails this summer?</p>

<p>The Academy only required math and English teacher recommendations, but your senators and congressional reps may require others. We actually found the nomination paperwork more daunting than the application. </p>

<p>I would definitely suggest trying to contact your teachers now; your nomination sources may want everything in before the school year starts. Check their websites for more info. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
