Applying to the Naval Academy (and most other service academies) have significantly more steps than applying to your regular state university. In addition to the regular application, which includes SAT/ACT scores, essay, transcript, teacher recommendations, and activities resume, an applicant has to complete the following:
- Application for nomination from a Congressman or Senator, with the rare Vice Presidential nomination (also check to see if the criteria for a Presidential nomination are met)
- CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment) which consists of a variety of physical fitness events like push ups, sit ups, and running
- Medical Screening to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements to be in the Navy or Marine Corps
- Interview with a Blue and Gold officer, who is an Academy graduate who volunteers their time to sit down with prospective midshipmen to both answer questions and determine if the candidate would be a good fit for the Academy.
This is a hefty list of items to accomplish but is done by tens of thousands of applicants every years and can be done with dedication and time management, both of which are good skills to have before starting at the Academy.
The next few entries will be follow ups on various parts of the application process.
