<p>Why do you want to go to USNA? Your daughter should be prepared to answer that question. Not what she thinks the BGO wants to hear but what she really believes is her motivation and desire to attend.</p>
<p>Last year, my mid was a summer seminar cadre and knows of 5 kids that were in her squads that are about to hit I-Day as part of the class of 2013. I asked why those kids and not some of the others and her response was that they impressed her compared to their peers. She spent extra time writing their reviews and documenting why they were exceptional and would succeed at the Naval Academy. My point is that a lot of kids look really good on paper but it’s the ablity to standout in a posative way and communicate not only the desire but the ability to succeed at USNA that makes a difference of getting in or not. Your daugher needs to project confidence and give answers from her heart, not anyone eles’s. Best of luck.</p>
