April 2003 Blue & Gold Officer's Notes

Blue & Gold Update:
Admissions for 2003 in Georgia

By the middle of April, USNA hopes to have the incoming class of 2007 set.  These next few weeks will be a critical turning point in a lot of student’s lives.  I’m sure we all can remember the anxiety and fear that we had waiting for “that letter” from USNA.  Last year, we had around 350 students from Georgia apply to USNA and we were able to send 35 along with a few NAPsters and some Foundation Scholarships.  Georgia typically sends between 25 and 35 kids a year to USNA.

As of 1 Apr 03, Georgia has 14 students that have been offered and accepted appointments to USNA.  We have another 7 that have been offered appointments but have not responded back to USNA.  There are 5 students that have Letters of Assurance/Conditional Offers from USNA which means that if they are found to be medically fit and have a nomination, they will be offered an appointment.

Georgia has 4 students that have been offered a Foundation Scholarship application and one has returned his application and been selected for the Scholarship.  There are 3 students that have been offered and accepted NAPS and another student that has been offered NAPS but not responded yet.

As volunteer Blue & Gold Officers (BGOs) it is always exciting this time of the year to see promising candidates that we have interviewed and counseled are being accepted to the Academy.  In addition to helping and interviewing individual students, we also aid USNA by participating in college/career nights in their communities, act as congressional liaison at the local level, seek opportunities for favorable publicity for the Naval Academy in local communities, develop a close rapport with principals and counselors in assigned high schools and community colleges, and present Certificates of Accomplishment to appointees.  BGOs can be any USNA alumni, active duty and Naval Reserve officers, retired military personnel, and interested civilians.   For more details on the program, please see the past articles in the USNA Atlanta Alumni newsletter or contact Cindy Miller at (770) 650-8921 or cindymiller@1990.usna.com.
