<li><p>I live on the district line between Forbes’ and Cantor’s district. There was a discrepancy early in my candidacy regarding this but it was indeed cleared up because my candidate file could not be located by Forbes’ office. I was told that I lived in District 7 but Forbes was still my representative due to the boundary lines.</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, my ACT scores were low in science. I was not able to take Physics and Calculus during my senior year as a result of classes that I had to take to “play catch up” because I moved around a lot and switched schools during my underclassmen years. When I asked my counselor and principal about this, it was determined that i would be “too far behind” had I opted to take those courses being that it was already 3 months into the school year. </p></li>
<li><p>Regarding the “VERY Early” portion of my application, that is in respect to my CFA, receiving a nomination, and getting cleared for my medical exam being that a high percentage of candidates do not get that done for a while (primarily their nominations) depending on where they live and who their senators or congressman are and when the deadlines are.</p></li>
<li><p>The Academy does use a rolling admissions board and it has been noted that earlier is indeed better. I personally know plenty of my peers who had near perfect academic records and ACT/SAT test scores who put off completing their candidate files until near the deadline and were not awarded letters of appointment to either USNA or NAPS. My admissions counselor and multiple officers at the academy did tell me that a mediocre candidate who completes everything early does indeed hold somewhat of an upper hand over a stellar candidate who waits until the “last minute”</p></li>
<li><p>Just to clear this up, I am not a member of a USNA priority admission target. If i am, I have not been made aware of this so the answer is no.</p></li>
<li><p>I didn’t get a “letter of appointment” to the USNA directly but i got a Letter of appointment to the Naval Academy Prep School as the admissions board notified me of this. I am taking it for what they called it.</p></li>

<p>Thank you once again, I do know I am fortunate to have this opportunity and I will give it some thought in regard to my aspirations of trying to be a Navy SEAL officer or being an enlisted man</p>
