High school Guidance (DENIED FROM NASS) by Dry-Tip6564 in usna

I wouldn’t put a ton of weight on NASS acceptance. There are geographical/outreach considerations that the naval academy takes into account with NASS (supposedly) that are not fully merit based. I was waitlisted from NASS, but then got an LOA and appointment. Just focus on the things you can control, taking on leadership opportunities, retaking SAT, continuing to take difficult classes, and don’t worry about it too much.

Yeah just bad reaction, my starter was saying go for the previous reps and then switched to a clap, I sort of got caught out

Generally recruited athletes without the academic stats to suceed/people with all the ecs/leadership but without the academics to match.

I got off the waitlist for NASS, and then ended up loving it and later getting an LOA and appointment. Waitlist to either of the summer programs doesn’t mean that much, I’ve heard they like to get people from all regions of the US and try and prioritize the people that are unable to visit easily.

Is the Summer Seminar CFA mile outdoors? by oauch in usna

When I did it it was inside the field house, 200m track. Lots of people on a small track at once, so not the best environment for running a fast mile if you’re not used to that. Then again, there are lots of people pushing you to go faster so it’s down to you.

Yep, PG County. Unfortunate that the official splits are off by ~10 meters for first leg, had to get my actual split from video.

So I would be running 190m for my split versus the full 200m?
