<p>JM: Wow! In a different direction. That almost 15% and just over halfway through first year? Either they need to a better job of selection [except in your son’s case] or it is incredibly difficult.</p>
<p>Does USMMA offer the same type of academic counseling as USNA? That is, if struggling, what are resources available to mids for assistance?
My understanding is that most instructors at USNA only teach two classes a semester. They are not under the same pressure to publish as civilian instructors; accordingly, the remaining time is supposed to be committed to assisting students. Plus there is various levels of academic assistance available. If a person is struggling academically, there are vast resources available to that person.</p>
