    Wait Listed

    My DS has been waitlisted since April also and we got the word by a TWE yesterday that the class is full and that he would not be getting an appointment. But plan B is in full swing so all is good. We know that Gods timing is perfect and that this is for a reason.

    I would think that this number does not include those at the prep schools like NMMI , and MMI. My son attends MMI as an unsponsered cadet and we were told yesterday that they have no word on who has received appointments there. We were told that they should receive that news possibly this week.

    AL Noms

    From what we have been told about the sponsored spots... They are mainly given to kids that need a little work on the academic side. It sounds like your son is not lacking there. But you never know. One thing good about attending Marion.. is that you see first hand how the academies will...

    Life Style @ MMI

    mid101..Just curious, did they tell you what you were weak in? My DS was seeking an appointment to the NA and did not get in this year. His package was very strong but evidently someone else in our area was stronger. Just curious as to what they look for when they pick the ones that are...

    Life Style @ MMI

    mid101- where are you from? Are you a sponsored cadet for the Navy, or Air Force? My son will be attending Marion as an un-sponsored cadet along with several others on this forum. He will be re-applying to the Naval Academy as well as applying to the other academies at the advice of Col Lewis...
