couyang: NASS is a much "kinder and gentler" time than Plebe Summer, but they do want to give applicants a small idea of what it would be like to become a Mid. There are generally two academic seminars a day, based on the choices you made on your applications.

If they do things at all like two years ago, there will also be a range of physical activities. My soon-to-be-Youngster (!) said that one of the things she really liked about NASS was that they were always doing something. They played sports for hours on the first day while waiting for everyone to arrive. They did some PT, and they did part of the Endurance course ("E" course).

They also did an official CFA (Candidate Fitness Assessment). If you come to NASS in good shape, your CFA score can count for your application. Don't worry about "How good is good enough?" Just work out every day so you can do your best and have fun.
