C/O 2028 Wait List: The Wait Listed Bunch

Inprogress said:
So from my knowledge, appointments coming from the waitlist are either a solid yes or no… depending on the amount of accepted appointments (1170).

I hate to try to play the whole statistics game, but curious to see how many on average decline their appointment each year and give spots to the waitlist. Only admissions knows that I guess.

That would be called the "yield rate" for a college. It's the percentage of students admitted that accept their spots at that school. You can look them up online. A quick search shows it's around 85% for USNA, meaning around 15% of admitted students choose another school

And as mentioned by another poster, it's not always a 1 for 1 trade on offer declined = offer extended to someone on the waitlist.

Colleges typically admit more students than they want/expect in their incoming class knowing that not everyone will accept their offer.
 
Another thing to keep in mind, regarding declines specifically and yield, is that the date to accept or decline an appointment already offered out there, is May 1 (I believe that’s right for offers out there). So the class puzzle will become more clear after that date (other than medical waiver work for appointments offered).

The waitlist will be whittled down as time progresses.

Just as point of reference. A friend got waitlisted last year. He accepted his Plan B, which was a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship to a big SEC school. Sent in his acceptance etc. for ROTC. He also still needed a medical waiver by USNA but got it for Army ROTC. At the end of May USNA pulled him off the waitlist, gave him his waiver and he is now about to climb Herndon in a couple weeks. You just never know. He was all set to go to his Big SEC school on an Army ROTC scholarship and now he is about to be a 3/C Midshipman at USNA.
