<p>If anyone has any questions concerning being denied an appointment as a senior in high school and trying again as a freshman, please ask me any questions; it’s exactly what happened to me. My advice: work hard. As they say, if it’s not hard, it’s not worth it. Think about your future during your first semester as a freshman, and think about your own goals. Personally, I worked fairly hard, especially in calc and chem, and picked up a new sport: crew. If the admissions office sees that you can adapt to college and still excel, and apply to the Academy again, they know that your heart is set on Navy. Ask me any questions! I did it and succeeded.</p>
