<p>While grades are very important, the Academy loves candidates who are well-rounded people. Is your son in any sports or clubs? Community service?</p>
<p>I’d be lying if I said that a C+ / B- average is a shoe-in, but not everyone here was a a straight-A student in HS either. I got in with a 2.9. How does he do on the SAT/ACT? Has he visited the Academy? (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!)</p>
<p>As far as his learning disability, I honestly can’t say either way. On the one hand, if it doesn’t vastly effect his abilities and performance, it might stay under the radar. On the other hand, the Academy and Navy have a way of finding out about these types of things sooner or later and they generally don’t like being left in the dark. I don’t know what the policy is anyways.</p>
<p>And yes, there are PLENTY of resources here to help everyone with academics. The professors themselves are pretty accessible, there are tutors and of course other Mids who help each other constantly (Note for new parents/plebes - just wait until finals week to see the chaos).</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
