Grades info


I am in 9th grade and want to go to the Naval Academy in Annapolis. I am used to getting straight A(s), but I think the burden will be heavy, since I'm now in high school. Plus, I'm joining a military youth group, and the debate team sometime in the future. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Getting into any military academy is hard and very competitive. The better you look, the better chance you got at making it in.

Not to disregard your opinion, but would anyone else like to voice theirs? I want to have an idea of what everyone thinks

Make sure you work twice as hard in High School. I was like you and my freshman year I got a 3.0 GPA. I now am correcting for it with AP classes
