    VP Apps/Nom's/Appt.

    Anyone have the figures for: number of VP applications? number of VP nominations? number of VP appointments? Realize this is a long shot but I'm still 3Q'd and haven't heard 'no' yet so still hoping..... Thanks.

    End of the line

    Curious Jagabiti - did the nomination sources not request a copy of the college transcript? Thought that was a typical requirement. My DS has one more Congrressional interview next week (from a source that provided a nom last year) and the question is should he bring up the Calc grade if...

    End of the line

    Thanks Spud It's a tough pill to swallow given how hard he's worked - his math SAT is near 700 so he's got the goods to handle math. Probably a too much freedom at Hopkins and too little self control. We'll see if wants it bad enough to try a third time. Maybe a miracle will happen this...

    College Re-app & DODMERB

    My USNA application is mostly complete but the section for DODMERB takes me to the link and it still is the information from last year. I heard the DODMERB is good for 2 years so I think I'm covered. Can anyone tell me if I need to do anything to have the DODMERB made 'current' or 'updated'...

    Good "Gouge" for Candidates

    Reduction, retention, re-applying and NAPS With the potential of reduced incoming class sizes at USNA and the number of students that come from NAPS (approx 20% of every class - noted in another topic thread), budget pressure to control costs (reduce military overall) and high retention as...

    TWE Letter- Details & ?'s

    From the looks of the replies to my initial post the envelope stuffing last week was TWE's and not much else. It still stings knowing how many athletes have been 'warehoused/red-shirted' at NAPS (with an almost automatic appointment) or if I had simply checked a different box on the application...

    TWE Letter- Details & ?'s

    Well, the sun did come up today after receiving the TWE yesterday. It's going to take time to decide to reapply or not. The excitement about the possibilities for the future are dampened right now - all of the challenges of PS, training, new surroundings, the spirit of the Academy, summer...

    Still in a holding pattern here in MD too. Probably the toughest state for nominations and appointments with The Yard in our 'backyard' but at this stage everyone is in the same boat. Fingers crossed.

    Cfa results

    Will these scores help me? Basketball Throw- 84 Shuttle Run- 8.4 Pull-ups- 9 Sit-ups- 78 Push-ups- 60 Mile Run- 6:40 Would it be helpful if I took the CFA a second time? Could these scores help my application?

    Time from Completed App to Notification?

    My application is 100% complete, with nomination, 3Q'd, and I'm wondering how long it takes to receive notice of an Appointment. I understand admission is on a 'rolling' basis but does the Admissions Board meet on a regular schedule? How many applications do they review at a time...
