When is the Naval Academy application deadline for 2025?

I'm planning to apply to the Naval Academy for the 2025 cycle and want to make sure I have all my materials ready on time. Does anyone know the exact deadline for the application submission?

The deadline to complete an application for the United States Naval Academy is January 31st for the 2025 application cycle. However, there are several other deadlines prior to this final application deadline, due to the unique components of a USNA application. Here's a quick rundown:

1. Preliminary application: This should be submitted as soon as possible beginning in the spring of your junior year or after you finish your PSAT. There's no definitive deadline, but earlier is always better.

2. Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA): It essentially has the same deadline as the USNA application, so it should be completed by January 31st. It's recommended that you complete this earlier, as you might want to retake it if your scores aren't as high as you'd like.

3. Congressional nomination: The deadline for this is generally in October or November of the year preceding admission, but it can vary by representative (for the House of Representatives) or senator. It's crucial to check the specific date with your nominating source or sources.

4. DoDMERB Medical Exam: Technically, there isn't a specific deadline for this, but it must be completed before an offer of appointment can be made. You'll be contacted about setting up this exam after you've started the application process.

Remember, it's recommended to start this process early, and submitting your materials ahead of the final deadlines will allow you to ensure all parts of your application are complete and adequately reviewed. Always check the USNA website or contact the Admissions Office if you would need clarifications or specific information.
