I am doing a series on interview tips and techniques over at www.GetIntoUSNA.com. Directly in particular at USNA candidates, but might be helpful for anyone interviewing. I have gotten a lot of questions about interviews lately and I thought this might help. Please check it out.

Town Liberty

How far from the Yard can the plebes venture on parents weekend? We have friends near Baltimore and were wondering if crashing there would be OK?

West Point - CC

What are my chances?

Here are my stats: High School Sophomore (Class of 2012) Academics- 3.8 Accumulative GPA (Unweighted; my high school does not offer weighted grades) All AP/Honors/Advanced classes SAT scores to come soon (I did not take the PSAT for personal reasons) Sports(so far)- Football (1 year) Rifle (1 year) Track and Field (2 years) No letters in any sport so far, expected to receive football and possible rifle letter next year. Activities- Principal's Advisory Council Representative Site Leadership Team student Representative Student Legislature Representative Police Explorer (Expected to gain command staff rank soon) Altar Server MC (Team leader) West Point is a serious dream of mine and is my first school choice. What are my chances of getting in at this point? Please give me constructive criticism and tell me what else I can do to better improve my chances of getting into USMA.

USMAPS or Finish ROTC?

I have been given a spot in the USMAPS class. However, I am an Army ROTC cadet in my second year. I could either graduate in 2 years through ROTC or go to USMAPS and graduate in 5 years. This has been a tough decision because I would be starting over but West Point would be a great school to attend. I see other cadets in my battalian and cant imagin that they will commision before me if I go to USMAPS. Don't get me wrong, they are good cadets and will be good officers, but I am a more high speed kid. Any advice would be great. I don't want to make a bad decision. Thanks

Naval Academy - CC

Privileges at USNA.

What are the differences in the privileges of plebes, youngsters, 2/c, and 1/c?

Is Being a Vegetarian at USNA Possible?

My son received a Congressional nomination to the Naval Academy and now we are waiting to see if he will be admitted. For the past 18 months my son has chosen a meatless diet. He eats plenty of eggs, and is good with cheese and the occasional seafood, but no beef, chicken, or pork. I have told him that if he gets admitted to USNA he will need to go back to being a carnivore. Am I right in this? Also, do plebes get to have any food "stash" in their rooms? (i.e. Powerbars, peanut butter, anything?). Thanks for your insights!

Help From Other Homeschoolers

Hello! I'm looking to hear from anyone who homeschooled and was admitted into the US Air Force Academy, or maybe a parent of someone who has. It would be excellent if I could hear all of their experiences.
