DS is very happy at Catholic U, on 4-yr Army ROTC scholarship (just contracted yesterday!). Loves his Mechanical Engineering classes, loves ROTC. Enjoying the civ college + ROTC experience. Best to everyone, Roseville

Sydney, My heart goes out to you & your DS. What a tremendous disappointment - can't even imagine. All the best in healing the injury, Plan B, and in reapplication.

Currey, Just saw this today. I'm so, so sorry the outcome this year wasn't a BFE, especially after the long wait. Kind of rough on the nerves. But I've no doubt your DS will do well, and I wish him the very best this year, and especially with his reapplication.

neither RA nor URM Can't understand.

My DS is in the same situation as Sportsmom4. Cannot get a response from RC. Sportsmom and I have wondered for a while why no TWE or info is forthcoming...

djames, Just curious - did you have a nomination (of the "usual" sort: congressional, presidential, ROTC, VP, etc.)?

Yes! :beer1:

WithYou2018, I'm so very happy USNA finally came through for your DS! Congratulations! d22, I, too, am wondering about 808Dad and HappyinKC... Oh, Currey. My goodness, this wait seems interminable. It IS interminable (well...let's hope not literally). But really.

Currey, still pulling for you. Checking in daily.

What a disappointment. Can't imagine thinking you're going, only to have the offer pulled later. I suppose the lesson in this whole process - and life, too - is that it's not over until it's over. And it might not be over even if you think it is! The emotional rollercoaster is a a lot to...

The Heart and the Fist: great book. Thought provoking and inspiring. Good luck to everyone on the wait list!!!

Hi Sportsmom4, Yes! I saw that. Interesting. So, since my DS received a 4yr Army ROTC schol in the 2nd board, I wonder if that means they would cross him off the list. If so, I just wish they would send the confounded TWE!!! It's really great for those USMA candidates who are close but...

link to main thread discussing principal noms waitlisted http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=37662

MemberLG, Yes, everything you are saying has been the understanding of most people acquainted with the process. Which is why it became such a topic, at which even moderators and BGO's here expressed confusion. In those threads all the scenarios were hashed out in detail, including the law in US...

time2, In all 4 cases that appeared on the forum recently, those principal noms were all waitlisted. I believe several people here, including a moderator, observed that a candidate can't be waitlisted if he/she is not 3Q'd. Also - more importantly - the specific feedback that came to those...

Kayaker, Just saw over on the ROTC acceptance thread that your DS wants to transfer schol from MIT to UVA. I'm curious why, if he wants engineering, and can have NROTC in either situation. DH and I both graduated from MIT & there is nowhere like it for engineering (there was a thread about...

95. DS of Roseville, Army ROTC, 4 year, Catholic University, Mechanical Engineering

Congratulations, kayaker! That is great news, and a wonderful path if USNA doesn't come through.

In future USNA Viewbooks: "The majority of Candidates will be notified by April 15th. Those not notified at that time will be placed on the Currey List, and will receive their notifications when we are good and ready."

DS received notification today - via email and portal. Successful transfer, to slightly more expensive school. But DS had earlier requested from that school, which has a May 1st deadline, and extension of the deposit deadline due to waiting on the transfer, and received an extension until May...
