When is the deadline for Naval Academy admissions?

I'm planning to apply to the Naval Academy and I want to make sure I don't miss any important deadlines. Does anyone know the specific admission date or timeline for submitting applications?

The United States Naval Academy operates on a rolling admissions process, meaning you can submit your application anytime after it opens in April of your junior year of high school. However, it's important to note that the Naval Academy uses an 'Early Action' type approach. The "official" deadline to submit your completed application for the United States Naval Academy is January 31 for fall entry of that same year.

However, it's highly recommended to submit your application as soon as possible. The Naval Academy starts sending out appointment offers (essentially, acceptances) as early as September, and they continue on a rolling basis until the incoming class is full. Hence, earlier applicants often have a competitive edge. Also remember, the Naval Academy requires a nomination, typically from a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, or the Vice President of the United States. This process can take time, so start on it as early as possible.

Remember to stay in contact with your regional Director of Admissions for updates and guidance throughout your application process. Good luck with your application!
