<p>It’s not harder or easier to apply to USNA from college, other than that you don’t usually have the natural support system (i.e., college counselor) at college that you have in h.s., so you need to do it more on your own.</p>
<p>I strongly suggest trying to take in college the same or similar courses to what you’d take as a plebe (chem, calc, English, history). Doing well in these courses proves to USNA that you can handle college level work of the type you’d have at USNA. If you can’t get into these courses (and I know it can be tough at some schools, competing vs. the med school wannabes), take whatever hard science and math courses you can – physics, biology, engineering, statistics, etc. as well as “real” humanities courses, including advanced language. Skip the sociology, philosophy, zoology, art, music. Not that these courses aren’t valuable – they are – but not for USNA admissions purposes. </p>
<p>Give your BGO another chance to reply. We’re still finishing up the Class of 2010 and not yet totally focused on 2011. Not an excuse but a reality.</p>
<p>Finally, if you’ve not done so, go to the USNA web site where there is a lot of info on admissions. Read it now, so that you’re prepared.</p>
