<p>Show off your talents on the NASS app as best you can. Use the additional remarks/comments space efficiently to showcase yourself.</p>
<p>There are many NASS acceptees that simply didn’t want to be there (practically forced by parents or other family/freinds to attend). So although academics are key to getting one of the 1800 slots, anything that can demonstrate other ‘scholastic’ achievement and motivation (including sports and EC’s) could overcome some academic limitations.</p>
<p>You should try to contact and sit down with your BGO just before or immediately after you submit your NASS app. Your BGO can call down to USNA admissions to comment on your NASS application, which could also help you get in!</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
