I'm interested in applying to the Naval Academy and I'm trying to figure out if I meet the age requirements. What's the age limit for entry, and does it differ for any specific programs?
The United States Naval Academy (USNA) has age requirements for its applicants. To enter as a candidate, you must be at least 17 years old and not past your 23rd birthday on July 1st of the year you would enter the academy. Additionally, you must be unmarried, not pregnant, and have no legal obligation to support children or other dependents.
These age requirements apply for all undergraduate programs at the Naval Academy, and there's no variation in age limit for specific programs. However, please note that there may be different age limits for other types of admission such as Officer Candidate School.
In any case, always refer to the latest USNA official admission resources or contact their admissions office to ensure you have the most current and accurate information.
