<p>Navy 2010</p>
<p>Thanks for your response. I do know that my son’s BGO is NOT active duty military. He works here in the area where we live. I suspect that he is embarrassed about giving out wrong information about being triple Qed and is simply avoiding my son but I hope that I’m wrong on that.</p>
<p>My son fully understands that he will have to wait for the “process” to play out. He is not a recruited athlete and doesn’t have the SAT/ACTmath scores that would make USNA run to sign him up. However, his English/Critical Reading scores are very good and he is looking to major in Political Science/Arabic with an eye towards Intelligence, which he explained to the Regional Director when he couldn’t reach his BGO. He knows that his math scores aren’t tops but his math teacher told us that she wrote in her letter that he does know more than his test scores indicate so hopefully the board will look at that as well. He currently has a B in Pre-Calc and a B+/A- in Physics. He is planning on sending his 1st semester grades in this next week. (He also has an A in British Lit, an A in Technical Writing, an A- in AP Spanish and an A in US Gov’t/Civics so he’s doing pretty well over all.)</p>
<p>He would be happy to accept NAPS and was just wondering when in the year he should indicate that? That’s one of the things that he wanted to discuss with his BGO. If he says, yes, I’ll take NAPS, does he remove himself from consideration for admittance to USNA this year? He was recently notified that he did receive a nomination from our MOC -still no word from the Senator. Does the admissions board re-evaluate files after all of the nominations come in? How soon do the slots for NAPS fill?</p>
<p>Sorry to be picking your brain-we are trying to be patient but it is one of those things where you don’t want to find out later that you missed a vital deadline. My son doesn’t feel comfortable “bugging” admissions, for all the reasons that you listed above but he is frustrated at not being able to get any questions answered.</p>
