How to Become Competitive for Admission and
Prepare for Academic Success
The academic program at the Naval Academy is very challenging, even by comparison with programs at other leadi ng
U.S. colleges and universities; consequently your preparation will be extremely important. Because the USNA program
emphasizes mathematics, science, engineering and writing, your school preparation should include the following:
•
Mathematics - four years of mathematics courses, with a strong foundation in geometry, algebra and trigonometry.
•
English - four years of course work in English with a special emphasis on the study and practice of effective writing.
Your application will be strengthened if, in addition to the above, you have had:
• Mathematics - courses in pre-calculus or calculus.
• Science - two years with at least one year of chemistry, with laboratory experience
•
English - additional courses in English and American literature as well as courses in other areas that emphasize writing.
•
Foreign language - at least two years, preferably four, in a single language. Course work should include regular use of
the spoken language and encompass elementary syntax and grammar.
To further enhance your competitiveness for admission and your preparation for academic success, the following is also
recommended:
• Physics - a full year including a laboratory experience
•
History - a full year of U.S. history and, where possible, a full year of European or world history.
•
Computer skills - familiarity with personal computers, including the use of the Windows operating system, word
processing, spreadsheets, and the Internet.
To demonstrate your ability to meet the physical and time management demands of four years at the Naval Academy,
you should take part in athletic and non-athletic extracurricular activities. Since every midshipman is involved in
physical exercise every day at the Academy, it is important that you get in excellent physical condition while still in
high school. Plebe Summer is not the time to try to whip yourself into shape. Since we are also interested in your
leadership potential, as well as your ability to manage your time, we will carefully consider your non -athletic activities
and record of part-time
employment or military service to evaluate your versatility and ability to accept responsibility. And, by all means, stay
away from illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol.
• Notified of Status and Offer of Appointment no later than April 15
• Deadline for Acceptance of Appointment: May 1
•
Summary: Develop study habits, take SAT/ACT until scores are >600, seek leadership positions, apply for every
nomination for which eligible, look into NASS/Weekend Visit
Please call if you have questions!
