<p>Can anyone help me out here? USNA is my top choice, but I'm worried about my GPA.
What criteria do they generally look at for admission? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks. I have looked at that page and it says "No Specific GPA is required..." However, I know how hard it is to get in. Can anyone give me what a general GPA is?</p>

<p>Just check out the verbal and math scores and you might get an idea. At the Summer Seminar, my squad leader had around a 32 or 34 on the ACT. He made very decent grades. Of course, there were plenty of other midshipmen who had come from NAPS (<a href="http://www.naps.edu/)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.naps.edu/)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>GPA matters very little. Class rank and standarized testing matter more to the academy.</p>

<p>wjat if my school doesnt do a class ranking?</p>

7

<p>then they ask your guidance c to give a rough estimate. Top 5%, 10% ect</p>

<p>Can anyone give me what a general GPA is?</p>

<p>A general GPA is one that is superior to all other GPAs.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what happens if your school does not rank, because I'm going to be going to a new school my senior year and in order to receive a class rank you must be there for mimimum of four semesters? In all other aspects the Academy is looking for I am superior. Thanks

<p>If you are "superior" in all other aspects, then class rank probably won't matter.</p>

<p>You could enter your overall GPA with an asterisk that equivocates the score to your current or past school, i.e. my GPA is 42.65 and top 5% at current school is 43.18.</p>

<p>My gpa is 3.8 weighted, that good?</p>

<p>Depends what your ACT/SAT Math and Critical Reading scores are. Are they aligned?? </p>

<p>Also depends on the others in your Congressional District/State who are also applying. That is your immediate competition. Unless you get a Letter Of Assurance, you are vying for the single slot your Congressional Representative and each US Senator is allowed to fill (3 in total).</p>

<p>Good Luck,
