NAPS Waitlisted

Rooting for you. Just to give you some perspective search, ‘Naps waitlisted 2027’ and read some comments. Decisions can go as far as into June. Just want you to be prepared. You might not get a decision by the end of the month so keep trucking forward with Plan A.2, Plan B etc …

I can’t find the chat you recommended. 🧐
 
DS was waitlisted for NAPS 2023, he came off the waitlist May 27, 2022 over a month after he was waitlisted. The wait can be long but several others received offers that year. He was not waiting on medical waiver, I will say he was moved when someone else declined.
 
Has anyone seen a list of those that were accepted to NAPS? Was wondering if they had a list going that shows undecided/accepted/declined. Was also wondering if we should switch this discussion over to the other service academy forum? Do you think there are others? This group seems fairly small for waitlisters.
 

NAPS Class of 2025 self-updating list

Got some inspiration from @Sixes to create a self updating class for NAPS as he did with USAFAP so all due credit to the user. General suggestions/guidance: - Resist posting until there is an offer of appointment in hand/portal and you have certainty. - If you have an LOA, sit tight, wait...

Or PM. Our class made a private group. One became my good friend, pulled very, very late. Now both of our boys are about to Commission. I went back and read our years waitlist messaging. Brings back memories and it’s neat to have a record of what was going through our minds. Recalling also the newness and uncertainty of Covid.

The waitlist folks are a trickle. One here, one there. As it gets closer, there are then turn downs.

Good luck folks!!

This is for those that have a spot. I guess we don’t join this one until we move off the waitlist.
 
Just as an update, I checked my DoDMERB portal, and my medical status has been updated to Waiver Granted after a previous DQ! I'm hoping that means I should hear back from USNA later today or sometime next week, but as a bit of motivation for those still waiting, I've been under waiver review since early September of 2023, so it is not too late to hear back!

Waitin', watchin' rootin' for ya!
 
My last update for this thread: Admissions extended an offer for a Foundation Scholarship, which I've wholeheartedly accepted, and I will soon begin the process of becoming a sponsored cadet for the class of 2029! I haven't spoken much on the forum; I've mainly been watching and taking notes, but I have learned so much, and I'm grateful to many people for giving me a better picture of what this path means. I won't pop the champagne just yet as I still have one more year before becoming a plebe, but I can't lie in saying that this opportunity means the world to me as someone who has had a relatively unorthodox set of life circumstances leading up to this.

At MMI's Service Academy Commencement speech, USNA's Dean of Admissions told us of how General MacArthur tried three times before getting into West Point. In reading further, I learned that MacArthur had suffered from a medical deficiency that disqualified him the first two times. Despite this, he overcame that hurdle with the help of his family and doctor, after which he became one of the highest academically ranked cadets in all of USMA's lineage. And the rest, as they say, is history.

My story isn't exactly like his story. However, I found encouragement in it, and I hope others who may not get in on their first try likewise take something from it. Life has taught me early on that sometimes good things do come to those who wait and are patient, but you still have to put in the work and take that step. Running cross country and track has been an immense teacher in that respect. Going into the 2023-24 college school year, I was gearing up for USAFA as my primary goal. But I was turned down once again. However, this time was different because the year spent at MMI had allowed me to mature, and I realized that my true goal was service to the nation, not just a military branch. Being able to talk to enlisted and commissioned service members showed me that (even if I still put Navy over the Army haha).

I'll admit it's hard to think I deserve it 100%, but seeing my SAP classmates who made it to their respective academies congratulate and show their support has strengthened my resolve to do my absolute best in the future.

That being said, it's not over until you finish what you've started, but more importantly, it's how you finish BETTER than where you started.
