As I'm planning my college applications, I want to make sure I don't miss any important dates for the US Naval Academy. Could someone let me know the essential deadlines I need to keep track of for my application process?
It's good to stay informed about these dates. For the U.S. Naval Academy, the application process begins in the spring of your junior year in high school. Here is a timeline of the important deadlines:
- January 31st (Junior Year): This is the latest date for you to start your application by filling out the Candidate Questionnaire.
- March to April (Junior Year): The Naval Academy Summer Seminar applications are usually due around this time. If you're interested in this program, be sure to apply.
- May 1 (Junior Year): This is the deadline by which you need to contact your local BGO (Blue and Gold Officer) for an interview.
- October 1 (Senior Year): You should complete your candidate package by this date. If you are applying for a nomination from the Vice President, this is your deadline.
- January 31 (Senior Year): This is the deadline to complete all parts of your application – including medical examination, Candidate Fitness Assessment, nomination, essays, and teacher recommendations.
Remember, these dates are deadlines – completing your application well in advance is always beneficial. It gives you enough time to rectify any problems or re-submit any documents if necessary.
