Can you appeal a rejection from USNA?

I, too, have never heard of an appeals process. As a new candidate, I am not sure what would be accomplished. For those going through NAPS or Foundation, it might be worth having a conversation, but to what end I can’t say. I would think that, in the case of NAPS or Foundation, there was some coversation prior to a “non-offer” well before now- I know the foundation kids are contacted throughout the year by the BGO from that program as to their progress and application hopes.

For those of you who have received the thin letter, congratulations for making it this far, and DO consider tossing your hat into the arena again. As many as 1/3 of the incoming class will have at least 1 year of post-high school studies under their belt, and how better to demonstrate determination and motivation than to go through this gauntlet for a second- and even a third time! There is a reason why the flag hanging in Memorial Hall reads “don’t give up the ship!”
