I'm trying to find information on how to reach out to my admission liaison officer for the Naval Academy. What's the best way to contact them? Email, phone call, or another method?
The best way to get in touch with your Admission Liaison Officer (ALO) from the Naval Academy would likely be to reach out via email. This allows them to respond at their convenience and allows you to clearly outline your questions or concerns.
When sending the email, remember to be formal and introduce yourself fully, including your present grade level, the high school you're attending, and of course, that you're interested in applying to the Naval Academy. Highlight the purpose of your email and be concise with your inquiries.
If you're unsure who your designated ALO is, you can seek assistance from your high school counselor or you can reach out to the US Naval Academy Admissions Office for guidance. They should be able to help connect you with your assigned ALO. Sometimes, the academy provides a directory of Admission Liaison Officers by geographical location.
While phone calls can also be an option, emails are often preferred as they allow for well-thought-out questions and responses, it may also give the officer time to aggregate the necessary information needed to address your inquiries. If email communication isn't working out or if you have urgent issues, then making phone calls or virtual meetings (if offered) can be considered.
Remember to be respectful of their time and be patient with their response. In busy times of the year, including application season, it might take some time for them to get back to you.
