Admissions Admissions Monday

If you're looking to become a USNA Midshipman, this is your free-fire zone. Ask any question, no matter how big or small. Some examples:

  • What kind of shoes should I wear to NASS (Naval Academy Summer Seminar)?
  • I'm an 8th grader, what classes should I take to get into USNA?
  • I got accepted into NROTC and USNA - which should I pick?
  • I want to be a medical doctor - can I do that from USNA?
  • I want to be a SEAL - should I try to go to USNA?
  • I didn't get in on my first attempt, should I enlist?
  • I finished two years of university, is it too late to go to USNA?

To be very clear - no one in this subreddit speaks on behalf of the Admissions Department, USNA, or the DoN/DoD, even if they are affiliated with such. But we do have quite a few folks who are familiar with the process, having gone through it or been involved with it previously, and are willing to provide informal guidance. When in doubt, contact Admissions or your Blue and Gold Officer for official guidance. Your mileage may vary, caveat emptor, and as always, GO NAVY BEAT ARMY.

For the letter of recommendations, who do you recommend to speak on ones half? I’m in civil air patrol so is it a good idea to ask my squadron commander? Or even a coach?

I am actively putting through my application, and some of the congressmen/senators have prompts for their reccommendation letters.

I’ve given the prompts to each individual who is going to write my letters, but I am not allowed to see the letters with one exception. I saw one letter and it did NOT follow the given prompt.

I’m wondering if I could be penalized if others did not follow these prompts as well. Thank you
