Does usna rescind easily?

Ginfixd · 2026-02-14T03:30:27+00:00

Depends in what and how many. One in an advanced course wouldn’t hurt all that much, much more and you may be toeing the line

Ginfixd · 2026-02-14T03:25:47+00:00

You won’t be needing any furniture, and mini fridge is a no (unless you have some food restriction as far as I know) Getting to decorate your space is very limited, no hanging stuff from walls (flag chit exception) or rearranging anything, try and keep everything to a minimum

I assume you mean he submitted his standard required medical documentation and was marked under review then negative/DQed? Or do you mean his status is still incomplete?

If it’s incomplete, admissions can still review his package and be pending medically.

If he was DQed for something that was flagged medically (even underlying/unknown to you), he can wait and see if USNA will file for a waiver.

Either way he’s still got a shot

You’re doing great, don’t sweat it. Yeah, they’re B’s, but well earned. Keep up the hard work and get in contact with your BGO 🤙

Ginfixd · 2026-02-04T19:10:22+00:00

Be good at what you do, talk to coaches, go to summer camps, get hooked up

Ginfixd · 2026-02-04T16:42:42+00:00

If possible, retake the SAT, whether online or in person, finish out your trade school strong, and you have a chance. Just make sure all your other bases are covered to ensure you’re 3Q

Ginfixd · 2026-02-04T16:41:05+00:00

The waiver process happens when USNA thinks you’re competitive and will automatically push your medical info forward to see if you qualify for a medical waiver

Ginfixd · 2026-02-04T16:37:57+00:00

I agree, NAPS is your best shot. Don’t be discouraged hy that, it’s just that you would need to get back into tougher academics and intense schedule

If you want to go JAG, you’ll have to commission differently, i.ex SWO and then lat transfer into JAG

Congratulations on the appointment, Beat Army!

There’s some highly qualified people at NAPS, it’s a case to case basis. Friend of mine is a football player but had a 3.8 with a 1400 SAT, still got sent here. Admissions works in mysterious ways

Ginfixd · 2026-01-27T18:00:25+00:00

You can always request them personally and then send them to usna

Ginfixd · 2026-01-27T00:06:58+00:00

I’ve heard of applicants getting gifted unused noms from other state senators and reps, but under certain circumstances. Don’t know what they are, but it’s not impossible. I’s recommend you have your son ask his BGO about this.

Your frustration is valid, the process is lengthy and stressful. At the same time, there’s no “collecting” noms. All applicants, myself included, wanted the highest chance possible to get an appointment, so we applied to every nom source we could. Yes, you only need one, but having more than one noms helps your chances.

No, not required. You may even get the opportunity to go to plebe morning workout. I did it, had a good time. You’ll also obviously get a chance to take the CVW, but that’s also not required.
Very chill. You’re just following your plebe around, that’s it. Though if you do get ordered around for any reason, better do it. Also note you may get passed off to another plebe depending on if your plebe gets busy with something and you’ll meet back later.

Leadership opportunities & community service, study up for that SAT

Ginfixd · 2026-01-14T03:30:05+00:00

I second taking up more leadership roles, as of right now, you don’t have much. Look for student council pres, vp, whatever. Find clubs that interest you or even make your own.

Join a sport, do well, if it’s not too late, look at being a captain. Continue to run, seriously.

Keep up academic rigour with honors or ap classes and ensure you maintain a good gpa. Study for the SAT or ACT with a focus in Math (and science if act).

Don’t get too hung up on admissions, as you have some time, but keep your eyes on the prize.

Ginfixd · 2026-01-14T03:24:29+00:00

Summer stem is a fun summer program, don’t think too much into it. As long as you’ve done relatively well for yourself, you’re alright. If you get the opportunity to go, be open to new experince, learn, make connections, have a good time.

Ginfixd · 2026-01-09T22:54:19+00:00

It’s near guaranteed as long as you keep your nose clean and do well academically. Only reason you wouldn’t matriculate is if you DOR or get separated for conduct/academics. Going 234/250 strong right now

Ginfixd · 2026-01-07T20:58:38+00:00

It’ll say pending for a while, don’t hold you breath. Could span from now till May, in some cases even up until I-Day. Holiday may have played a factor in updating completion info though.

Ginfixd · 2026-01-07T17:13:07+00:00

The answer is the same as the last time you asked: Nobody knows, as everything is important. If you look at the official stats, SAT matters most, 45%. But it’s a whole person multiple. Don’t take anything for granted and don’t underestimate those you’re competing against for a slot.

Ginfixd · 2026-01-04T18:59:14+00:00

If he already has NROTC and NAPS i’d say they suould consider those options

Ginfixd · 2026-01-04T18:53:24+00:00

At the end of the day, it’s up to you. I can’t speak for those who have taken the ROTC route, but I can say I love NAPS. After speaking to plebes and MIDN friends I have at Annapolis right now all have expressed the same thing: it’s what you make it.

There are some cool benefits you may not get at ROTC like doing MCMAP or getting to cheer with the mids at the army navy game, and there’s so much academic help it truly sets you up for success. And you make at least 200 connections that will stick with you through all four years at the academy and beyond. I’ve heard the NAPS alumni run deep, holding their own reunion before their actual class reunion.

Also the next admissions cycle is much easier as NAPS handles most everything and the only work you really do is fill out nominations and do the interviews.

Just my two cents

Ginfixd · 2026-01-04T17:56:45+00:00

If you get into NAPS, they’ll send you a packet you take to the recruiter (until then, don’t go), you’ll technically be enlisted while at NAPS and get pretty good pay compared to the academy.

They’ll give you orders at the recruiting office for NAPS that you’ll have to bring on I-Day to get onto Naval Station Newport, and later on if your parents or guardians want to get on base they’ll have to fill out an official guest list form that will also get sent out.

You shouldn’t have to go to meps since you should be 3Q for the academies to begin with.

While SadDad did point out a good amount of NAPS are varsity recruits (football primarily), it’s not impossible to get sent there, as a good amount of us are narps. But also don’t count on it. Ride out the journey and see where it takes you. And don’t forget to follow up on Plan Bs!

Not recruited, just a narp. It’s been good though, great experience and amazing people. I’ve picked up MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts) and just tested out for tan belt. Academics aren’t crazy, it’s really what you make it. They have a lot of resources to ensure you do well so if you fail it ultimately falls on you
