I am currently a 4/C (freshman) midshipman at the United States Naval Academy. I love USNA but I'm not completely sure if I am the right fit for military life, and the Naval Academy does not offer as many selections in majors and academic opportunities/challenges as much as I would prefer. Please feel free to comment on what my chances are.
I am considering applying to Duke, Stanford, Columbia, University of Virginia, and Princeton. I intend to be a Computer Science major.
