    c/o 2019 wait list

    Thanks, Suddebsam. . Good to know who it was who called. His email did make reference to the Area Director, whose name I knew from out past experience. I wonder what they're up to??

    c/o 2019 wait list

    I assure you, you're not bursting any bubbles! Cornell is a fabulous option. DS got an email today from the man who called thanking him for his quick final grade submission (he was copied on the grades sent to admissions). DS was mistaken after the phone call -- his title wasn't BGO, but rather...

    c/o 2019 wait list

    DS was waitlisted for 2019 and finally received a TWE (in email form) about three weeks ago. Got a call yesterday, however, from a BGO (not our original BGO, who stepped down after the class of 2019 cycle, but one who is new to us). He advised our DS to submit his final grades immediately. Our...

    Did anyone turn down the waitlist?

    DS chose to stay in Waitlist, as well, but has paid deposit and committed to Cornell, where his NROTC scholarship is. If a BFE arrives, it'll be very interesting to see what happens.

    I know. :( I don't think we'd know anything either, at this point, if I hadn't emailed to ask the BGO what he knew.

    BFEs will now come from the wait list, as some do not accept their appointments. This can go into as late as June.

    I'm the poster who quoted the numbers from my BGO. My oldest is class of 2017 and had an LOA dated August 29 after his junior year. Same BGO is working with my class of 2019 wait-listed hopeful DS (who has accepted NROTC scholarship at Cornell)., I truly believe he knows of what he speaks and...

    DS wasn't notified that he was added to Waitlist... BGO offered the information after we questioned him about DS's status earlier today.

    If it is conjecture, it is not mine, but that of our BGO. Truly not trying to upset anyone.... We were relieved to have a bit of finality so that DS can move on to plan B without feeling as if he still had significant skin in the game at USNA. Waitlist is a long shot, so he is at peace now. I...

    Pretty close. I don't recall exact numbers, but older was 34 composite; younger was 33 composite. Not so very dissimilar. Also SATs were about dead even. This cycle is very tough- extremely competitive in our state, however. Maybe we should have been quiet about the Academy! I feel like we set...

    They are nearly identical, actually. Class of '17 Mid had the advantage of having his package complete in July after taking ACT and SAT just once and getting high enough scores that he did not have to retake tests. When Admissions Board reviewed him at first meeting, he was "done" and they...

    Same story here in PA... Midsib and big brother (class of 17) anxious for good news....

    DS (and mid-sib) still waiting in PA-12. Has NROTC at Schreyer's Honors College at Penn State U as back up, which I suppose he should firm up this week. Such a different experience from his big brother (class of 17) who had LOA in August, appointment in November. I guess it's good to experience...

    PA Nominations

    He didn't say anything about Sen. Toomey yet -- and I haven't seen postings about any districts with noms out except 12, 15, and 18 -- but I don't know for sure. Keep watching the portal!

    PA Nominations

    DS received USNA nomination from Congressman Rothfus, PA-12, dated December 23. We found out from our BGO and can see the update in the Candidate Portal. The BGO also informed us that Senator Casey has been making phone calls, although his nominations are not yet showing up in the candidate...
