After two great visits my son just committed to the Naval Academy (football OL). Great video…

Best of luck to your son!

This is a really helpful video. She nailed it. Another big thing they're looking for is Time Management. How many balls do you have in the air? How well do you keep them in the air -- are you dropping any? If you are only really good at one thing, get easily stressed when you're asked to do too much you might re-think applying to a service academy.

Great point, thank you for the example interview question as well!

For a GPA of 4.0, does that include weighted or just a 4.0 scale?

@ServiceAcademyROTCInsiders 10 ай бұрын

The academies look at both! The difficulty of classes you take is a strong consideration in your GPA. I would also prioritize SAT/ACT over your GPA - many students have a 4.0 GPA, the SAT/ACT is a national equalizer

If I have not taken any sports in HS but have multiple varsity letters from band, will that be good enough for the naval academy?

@ServiceAcademyROTCInsiders 8 ай бұрын

It depends! Athlete is a critical component of what USNA looks for in candidates. There are always exceptions, but upwards of 95% of candidates have athletics. Band is not athletics. Most likely, we would advise you to join a sport if you are a junior or below (cross country, track, etc). Performance on the CFA is critical.

Band members do amazingly well, but you will have to keep up with all the rest of it. Not being physically fit or not recovering fast enough from an injury will hold you back. I've seen people be held back from graduation for this reason, so make every effort to become more fit.

When should i start worrying about actually applying? Im going into 10th grade and had good grades and 2 sports my freshman year. I'm also taking an ap and honors classes. What im asking is who should i talk to to start getting ready to do it?

You will be opening up an application the summer between junior and senior year -- but you should plan on applying to summer seminar January of your junior year. Until then - keep up the good work building that scholar, athlete, leader profile! -Capt Dach

Can you get in if you don’t have a good gpa

@ServiceAcademyROTCInsiders 4 ай бұрын

It depends what you define as the limit for a good gpa. If the academy feels you are not academically prepared but otherwise fit the athlete and leader criteria, there is a chance you will be offered a foundation or prep school slot.

I'm having trouble getting a good answer on how the academies count weighted vs unweighted GPA's. I was told that they use a weighted GPA but don't modify the transcript - meaning that if it was weighted they would use that. Any insight on that?

@ServiceAcademyROTCInsiders 4 ай бұрын

We do not have insight on how they handle the transcript. However weighted is usually best, so work with your counselor. However, retaking the SAT/ACT will usually hold far more weight than small differences in weighted/unweighted GPA.

My GPA was 3.1 there is a chance for me to join

GPA is only one component. The academies look at the scholar, athlete, and leader component of your application. The level of difficulty of classes taken also impacts admissions.
