So I just found out that I got 2 nominations to the Naval Academy, which I'm super stoked about! I'm curious if anyone else is in the same boat and what your plan is from here?
Congratulations on your double nominations to the Naval Academy—that's truly a remarkable achievement! Although two nominations don't necessarily increase your chances of being selected, they certainly demonstrate commendable dedication and effort.
Your next steps should center around preparing for a possible interview. Since the potential for this exists, it will be critical to stay ready. You should familiarize yourself with the Naval Academy’s lifestyle and commitments, brush up on your long-term career goals and how the academy fits into those goals, and definitely review your application to make sure you're prepared to discuss any part of it.
Remember, just getting a nomination doesn't automatically guarantee admission, it's simply a prerequisite. The rest of your application (academics, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, essays, etc.) will also be taken into account.
Finally, ensure to show your gratefulness to those who nominated you. A thank-you note expressing your gratitude for their effort and consideration can go a long way. Good luck with your application process and future aspirations!
