Hey, I am interested in joining the United States Naval Academy. From what I have understood by reading the ifno on their site (www.usna.edu), you have to have a nomination from your local Congress Man/Woman. Is this an automatic admission? I am homeschooled, so I know it will be hard to present a record of my grades, but if I score high on my SAT, will that overcome the record problem? Has anyone here been to the USNA? Any advice on how to get an admission would be appreciated. Thanks.

Apply to your Congressman and Senators for an appointment. You will have to pass a physical, have good grades and good scores. Most of them run a competitive deal on getting the appointment.
Read the Academy web site. Get started now!
Consider NROTC also. I had the appointment, didn't get a waiver for my eye sight, but got a full scholarship through NROTC.

A congressional nomination is NOT an automatic admission. There have a very ridgid physical and academic standard which you must meet, or you don't get in. Let say you are an excellent student academically, and you scored almost perfect on the ACT, or SAT, but you have poor eyesight. If the minimum unaided vision is 20/30, and you have 20/40, you are most likely rejected.

Write to your Congressman/woman and see what they say.
