    Reapplying to USNA (after a turndown)

    Thanks for your message, justdoit19. DS applied 2 years ago in 2017 for the class of 2021. DS says he wants to try until he gets it. DS should have re-applied last year but DS wasn't sure of who he was & what he wanted. If DS does not get it this time, DS is prepared to go through OCS.

    USMA Denied Thread

    My DS received a TWE a week ago. Then today, this morning our FFR sent my DS an e mail asking him if he was interested in the "Presentation of "Offer of Admission" at High School Award Ceremony". We quickly assumed FFR didn't meant to include my DS in the e mail but he was added to the mass...

    USMA Denied Thread

    My DS received a TWE today from USMA admissions. Actually it was a portal update. Had Noms (both Congressional & senatorial). DS has stellar GPAs, excellent Leadership skills & broad ECs, etc..But I guess the competition was fierce this year. Plan B in place. Moving on. At least, my DS...

    USNA Portal not accessible

    MY DS is an applicant to USNA 2021 and his application was in CPR but it has been more than a month that he could not log in to the portal. Does this mean USNA closed his account since he did not receive Noms from his MOC? But then again, he did apply for VP Nom, so his Nom requirement is...

    National Waiting list

    I am confused. Are you saying there are 2 NWLs? The numbers don't add up, either. My understanding is; the initial NWL starts with around 2500 fully qualified with noms, it would be 2150 after the first wave. and the 1150 appointees would come off the NWL, then the NWL would be 1100 left. So...
