How do I find my Naval Academy candidate number?

I recently started my application for the Naval Academy, and I'm a bit confused about where to find my candidate number. Can anyone tell me how to locate or receive this number during the application process?

Sure, happy to help with this. Once you begin your application to the United States Naval Academy, you'll receive your candidate number in a response from the Admissions Office after they've processed your preliminary application. This number will be used to identify your application throughout the process, so it's important to keep a record of it.

Specifically, this number is usually found within the first few emails you receive from the Academy after your preliminary application is submitted. I'd recommend checking your email inbox for messages from the Academy and review the content carefully. Make sure to check your spam or promotions folders as well, just in case the email ended up there instead of your main folder.

If you're unable to locate your candidate number using these methods, I recommend reaching out directly to the Admissions Office of the Naval Academy to acquire it. They should be able to assist you in retrieving or reissuing it. Always remember to keep your interactions with any admission office professional and courteous. It leaves a positive impression, and they're there to support you throughout your admissions journey.
