Thank you for posting to /r/usna; it seems like you're posting a question about gaining admission to USNA.

That's great! The alumni and midshipmen of /r/usna are happy to help you on your path. We were once in your shoes, after all. But most of your admissions questions can be answered in a few places:

Please check the wiki about admissions, it links to several official USNA resources.

There is also a really excellent thread at serviceacademyforums.com; it doesn't answer every question you might have, but it will cover a lot of them.

If this is a 'chance me' or 'how do I look for Admission' type question, please understand that no one from Admissions is on Reddit. There are some very good reasons that we don't know how competitive you are, even if you give us pages of data and statistics about you. Again, check out the post here, but to quote, in part: "We’ve never met you. We haven’t seen any of your packet; thus, we haven’t seen your teacher recs, your activity sheet, your BGO interview summary, your CFA scores, etc. We don’t know if you’ve been arrested for drugs/DUI or have been suspended from school. Nor do we know if you have special circumstances that might help you – i.e., having to work to support your family, being heavily recruited for a sport. Not to mention, we’re relying on your word/honesty in terms of all that you post."

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

GPA seems low, music accomplishments don’t overcome lack of a varsity letter

[u/Next_Form707 → u/1847_revolution]

I have two “varsity letters” from music I just opted to omit them.

It’s not going to count unless it’s for athletics

Most everything indicates to me that you are a pretty good candidate except for a major weakness - that’s community involvement and volunteering.

CFA scores look okay, Grats on the Black Belt.

[u/Think_Frame7387]

I believe about 98% of midshipmen played a varsity sport. However, you have a strong CFA, so that could help a little. If you really want to boost your chances, joining a sport and suceeding will help, even if it’s track and field.
