The BEST and WORST Parts of the Naval Academy

Today we talk about our best and worst experiences throughout the past 4 years we've spent at the Naval Academy.

As recent 2020 graduates we've experienced a lot during the past 4 years and hope that this helps you make a better decision about attending the Naval Academy! Or just give you a better idea about the Academy if you were interested!

Thanks for watching and comment below with any questions!!!

[deanarnold]

Can you go premed with a general science major, I know Chem is recommended

[rogerwhiting]

I think the hazing thats condoned would be the worst for me. I dont get that.

hi i am happy that you did this video because i have wanted to be a naval officer for two years and i am only thirteen. i am in seventh grade and i want to know a lot about the naval academy so i know what to expect.

hey! i’m a 14 year old going into sophomore year soon and have played soccer all my life. i’ve also been on my schools varsity team since 7th grade, but had to skip 8th due to an acl repair. i joined back for ninth grade and played every game. i plan on playing the rest of my highschool career and possibly in college, and i play either goalie or on the field when our other keeper is in. i was wondering if i should think of picking up another sport in the future ( possibly this year or next ) or if you think soccer will be enough

Can you do a video on how to make a yourself a competitive applicant

[animatorbeems]

I want to go so bad. I do XC, have a 4.0 GPA, and I am taking pretty rigorous classes. I also am in theatre and I sing competitively. I’m starting a club next year, too. Is there anything else I can do to increase my chances of getting in?

What happens if you can’t remember Reef Points?

Hi I am in 7th grade and live 20 mins outside of Annapolis and have wanted to go to the naval academy since I was 11 and have had family members who attended it can you please make more videos about the naval academy. Also do you think that if you had known you wanted to go here and the become SWO while you were in 7th grade that would have boosted your acceptance chance. If so how and if not what will?

Hi guys! I'm thirteen years old, homeschooled and in boy scouts and interested in USNA I do swimming and track and have a 4.0 GPA I'm also doing trigonometry pre-calc in 8th grade if I want a better chance at getting into USNA in the future what are some goals I can set/things I can do?

I’m about to graduate college and plan on joining the Air Force after graduating. I wish I tried to get into some military academy.

Hi guys! I had fun watching this video and learning everything I could about the USNA. I am currently a junior and will be applying to Summer Seminar in about a month and start the actual application a few months into 2021. I have a question about leadership. In my opinion, I am already pretty satisfactory when it comes to academics and athletics. I have a 3.6+ unweighted gpa and I am a 3 sport varsity athlete. I am lacking in leadership because I find it that at my Highschool, positions of leadership are based on “popularity” when it comes to being captain of the team or being an officer of a club/class. My only leadership role is that I’ve been part of my school’s ASB program as a commissioner since I was a freshmen. I was wondering what other leadership roles I could take to make me stand out and display my leadership potential. (Sorry for the long comment 😅)

How do you have money to go out and go on dates and buy things if you only get like $100 every month?

[robertpek]

Phil did a great job as brigade adj 💯💯

[BobBob-prnr]

I’m going into the naval academy for football next year so im just trying to find as much information about day to day life as I can. Did you guys know any football players when you were in the academy and do you know if their day to day was much different from the norm?

[wimbow]

Can you answer any questions about "Fleet Returnee"/"Fleeter" status? Are they treated differently than average USNA students? If so, how? (Currently AD, PO3, with a USNA application in.)
