United States Naval Academy Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Tyler

The amount of work necessary to do well at this institution is unbelievable. Our display of leadership qualities coupled with self-discpline and motivation make our school one of the best in the country. Not only do we work hard but we play hard as well. Our weeks spent studying and going to class are well worth the fun we have on the weekends, especially since we are not allowed to leave during the week.

free school, guarenteed job and pay after graduation

The future potential.

How demanding my first year was and how much I've learned because of it.

I was qualified on an M16A3 assault rifle within three weeks of attending, and the tradition in the institution and the honor in its students.

I can do things here that no one else can ever hope to do. Military gets lots of benefits. There are endless possibilities of careers upon graduation.

We all have 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} job security and only 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the applicants are accepted. It is a good place to go if you want to focus completely on academics and do not care about having a social life.

Brian

The speed of light was discovered at the Naval Academy. Our engineering and science departments are cutting edge, and on top of that, we teach our midshipmen leadership. It is very well rounded, and it sits right at downtown Annapolis (DTA).
