I wish my DS would place this school on his list. Hope remains in recent days so here it goes. It may be a real long shot getting in but if comments could be made that would be great. It will help me give him the guidance needed.

ACT and he is not taking it again…too much going on.

Comp: 29
Math: 32
English: 31
Reading: 29
Science: 28
Writing: 26 - Crash & burn but he said he is just fine with the number.

Class rank: top 20%
GPA unweighted: 3.85
NHS
Followed an engineering class program, many AP and honor classes in math and sciences.
Captain of one team waiting on the coach from another,strong candidate as he has been told.
Will have 8 letters by the time he is done in HS.
Just attended the Naval Academy Summer Seminar - Loved it and will be first choice, recruited athlete.
School & community activity - 200+ hours.

So here is the thought. If he does not get into the Academy he is hoping for the NROTC scholarship. On the scholarship he indicated he will study electrical engineering. Given the stats there are three questions.


Will he get into the school of engineering?
Is the NROTC program at this school tough to get into?
Are the odds stacked against him coming from OOS — New England?
