<p>tommy …good, no GREAT for you! In way more ways than a doing differential equations, you’ve shown you’ve got what it takes. I predict you’ll do extremely well @ USNA …you’ve the ability and the ATTITUDE, which is THE essential. </p>
<p>btw, re: majors, I know a TON of bull majors who would and do run circles around a whole bunch of groups 1 & 2 majors. (I’m told gen engineering is one of the “parking lots” for slow moving vehicles) There are extremely bright and capable kids distributed throughout the curricula and departments @ USNA. Study what enthuses you, be it engineering or English, chemistry or calculus. Remember what ADM McCain (and a whole bunch of other USN pros) noted was THE ESSENTIAL ingredient to nurturing great leaders …men and women who can THINK out of the box, on the run.</p>
<p>My money’s on you boy! 
Breakaleg! GO NAVY! The greatest adventure of your young life is about to begin. I’m betting you’ll make the most of it.
