    Portal updated to turned down

    In most cases, it's a pretty routine process. Most (definitely not all) appointments go out before mid-March. By this time of year, most candidates who are offered an appointment have decided whether or not to accept and most accept well before April 15 (let alone the May 1 deadline). If the...

    Unfortunately, no. Turned Down means from all programs.

    You are confusing the National Pool with the Wait List. Qualified nominees on an MOC slate who do not receive an appointment are sent the National Pool, where they compete with others from around the country for additional appointments. There are literally thousands in the National Pool. This...

    Summer Trainings, help!

    I suggest you start with your CoC, as in your 3/C. Or your squad leader. This is why you have a chain of command. They are much more familiar with the "rules" (for example, can you simply "trade" your NASS slot, or do mids have to be selected for this position) and the options available to...

    Portal updated to turned down

    You cannot compare one year to another. There are some constants and some variables. Constants USNA always creates a WL and it is "real" For many colleges, the WL is (literally) a way for applicants (especially legacies) to feel better about being turned down USNA does not tell candidates...

    I never had a candidate come off the WL, let alone at the last minute. First, whether anyone comes off the WL depends on yield for that year. A handful of candidates may be “left waiting” well into June, usually b/c USNA is waiting to see if some last-minute medical issues clear. It’s very...

    I-Day Prep Guide???

    Women should bring sports bras. You’ll be issued some, but they might not fit right or be as comfortable as those you purchase. White or nude color only for PS. Other colors will show through your wet white T-shirt.

    2 for 7 signing for class of 26

    I think I like the current approach -- proving that the "good old days" aren't always better. IMO, it should be an affirmative decision made by adults with knowledge upon reflection, if for no other reason than the potential financial ramifications are significant. Doing it with your classmates...

    2 for 7 signing for class of 26

    I think "legally" is that reason that it now happens. :) I have no doubt that, in the past, the US government asked some 2/C or 1/C who quit or was told to leave to pay back his/her education. That person's lawyer said, "Show me where my client agreed in writing (or even orally) to obligate...

    Daughter did not receive waiver by DoDMERB; chance to appeal?

    If the waiver was denied by USNA, it's likely the end of the road. DD (not you) may be able to obtain additional information regarding her medical situation from either her admissions counselor or the medical staff person at USNA. I wouldn't start with "Why didn't I get a waiver" as much as...

    USNA summer seminar and stats

    NASS is a recruiting tool. Acceptance does not always go to the "most competitive" candidates. Yes, there has to be some level of achievement, but USNA also looks for schools and areas and students who have historically been underrepresented at USNA. Thus, many excellent candidates are turned...

    good EC to take to get in?

    You don't have to love sports to be successful at USNA. However, you do have to be sufficiently self-motivated to pass the PRT, swimming, etc. NOT having sports on your resume can create an initial "red flag." It can be overcome with great CFA scores, strong academic record and demonstrated...

    Will USNA give vision waiver for Lasik procedure lack of 180-day recovery

    It’s not necessarily the recovery period. He may be ok for USNA but DQ’ed for aviation be a use of the LASIK. Ok if he doesn’t want to be an aviator. USNA recommends candidates not have corrective eye surgery prior to attending USNA.

    Generally, when USNA tells a candidate that he/she is turned down, it means for all options, including NAPS. Sorry that you didn't get the news you'd hoped for. Charge ahead with your other plans!
