    Did anyone turn down the waitlist?

    As May 1 approaches I can't help but wonder not only about the percentage of people who will accept their appointments, but what percentage of kids stayed on the waitlist. I would guess that not very many said "no thanks". My DD asked to stay on it. Others?

    c/o 2019 wait list

    From what I can gather, they really place an emphasis on tenacity. I don't thinking a 3 time applicant will hurt at all. I would guess it would actually help.

    What % of midshipmen were rejected Summer Seminar

    Nobody that my daughter knows from SS got in (only she and 1 other got waitlisted). Heck, maybe it hurts more than it helps.

    How to access portal for Class of 2019 now that 2020 application is up?

    On the computer that I have never used to log in I got the boxes that required a username and PW and they didn't work. On the computer that I normally use it bypassed that page and went straight to the one where you enter your name, ss #, and candidate #. That did not work, either :(

    c/o 2019 wait list

    I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Admissions looks at the historical acceptance rate, as well as the trend over the years, and anticipates what percentage of kids will accept their offer. Lately is has been something like 83% for women and 86 or 87% for men (IIRC). This year the Academy...

    Still on the island thread

    Plan B (in her mind) is UVA, where she got in, but not into Engineering. We're in-state but it is still full pay. Plan B in our mind is Alabama in Engr with full tuition and partial room and board. Plan C is Cal Ply SLO in Engr with just $2k/yr. We told her if she wanted to go there she would...

    Still on the island thread

    I feel like a baby Gazelle roaming the savannas of Africa while watching the Lions and Hyenas gradually picking off lots of my siblings, one by one :( This week's big dilemma has been having DD tell us her plan B while DW and I think it should be her plan C.

    Nervous for NASS

    It isn't that bad. You can really put yourself at a big advantage if you work hard between now and then and ace the fitness test while at NASS. My DD didn't train at all (because she was pretty active with her sports and didn't realize there would be a test at the end). Anyway, she did ok but I...

    I think the general consensus is that there might be a few MOC slates that have not been settled yet, but unless you are in the running for one of those, then your only hope is the waitlist at this point. They have made enough offers to fill the class, if they get the acceptances that they...

    TWE

    I would love if a BGO would let us know how the normal process work re the waitlist letters. That would be really interesting :) eg- do waitlist letters always come out after all the appointment letters go out (or at least the number that they think it will take to fill the class given a...

    Wait list question

    I wonder how the process normally works in terms of the timing of waitlist etc. I can't imagine that they send those waitlist letters out before all the appointment letters are sent. For nearly 2 weeks now there has been a distinct lack of any BFEs; just TWEs with either rejections or a few wait...

    TWE

    Since you asked me for sources I assume you are referring to me. I never made the claim that they lowered standards for women. I made the claim that they were accepting more women. Big difference :)
