<p>USNAathlete2013, If you were simply looking for the address, you could have located it in several places on the CGIS. </p>
<p>Since the CGO does not disallow additional inputs, the regional director is not in a position, at the risk of perceived favoritism, to tell you not to do it. That still does not mean it is a good idea. You are working with the Admissions folks whose job it is to ascertain how well rounded you are, academically, leadership potential, and with extracurricular activities. Athletics are only a very small part of it. Beyond “Two year starter, honorable mention, all-conference, regional runner ups”, seriously, what more do you think they need. The application is designed to help you present your whole person. A scrap book might present a one-dimensional viewpoint. Since, as has been stated above, the coaches will be concerned with your athletic potential, do you really want to run the risk of degrading your prescribed presentation to the Board for your ** scholastic ** qualification?</p>
<p>Last spring, I was working with a candidate for NASS who had missed the application cutoff date. Since CGIS was no longer available, we were proceeding via emails. This was the CGO comment to me about her “package”.</p>

<p>Do you want them to say this about you?</p>
<p>As to the concerns of the admissions dept, you are going to USNA to become a Naval Officer, not to be an all-star Div 1 athlete. That is the coaches job. Allow the system to work as it was intended.</p>
