Could I be considered for an appointment to NAPS?

What is clear and apparent to me is that some people will always have a bias against NAPS for any number of reasons. The way the admissions process works is you apply to USNA and they decide who to offer an opportunity to NAPS. The candidate isn’t given a choice of NAPS vs a direct appointment, the process doesn’t work that way.

I would imagine that some in the Fleet also look down on USNA grads…but that certainly isn’t a reason to not go to USNA. How one acts among their peers probably has far more to do with how they are accepted and fit in vs. the route they took to get there.
