    Who is still waiting?

    Still waitin', but preparing for any outcome. Great comment. It made me wonder if the old 2014 file is added to the new 2015 file. like the DoDMERB stuff ... old transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, etc. Maybe just new and updated documents are added... like final transcripts, college grades...

    Academics

    These posts might shed some light on the subject. I'll bet that each year, the process of selecting people for appointments is different. It seems like it might be like picking teams for a pick-up football game on any Saturday down at the park. It depends on who shows up and with what...

    Conditional appointment ? ?

    I know of a conditional appointment but don't know what the "condition" is that has to be resolved. Are these common and what are the usual "conditions"? Are they medical type? Most important, is there a deadline to resolve it? Like March 1st? Or, april 15th? Or, can it go right up...

    SAT Scores

    If it is as competitive for appointments for the class 2015 as it was for the class of 2014, you all better not rely on just SAT and ACT scores. Our nom is still waiting with 1480 SAT, 32 ACT. high ranked school, good grades and class rank. Tons of community service, athletics, etc...

    A new level of nail-biting...

    West Point is in an even worse "oversubscribed" situation. Or, maybe the USNA is in just as tough a situation. Read the post #51 on this page on the USMA thread

    LOA Without A Nom -- Watch Out

    One USNA grad, from dense populated small state and very competitive for SA's, that I know did not get into NASS, did get an LOA later, then didn't get a nomination. Did alot of things to find a nom. Finally, scratched and fought through the bureaucracy, and soon got one from another MOC...

    Sports

    Agree with the potential difference in selection criteria with the USNA stated effort to raise diversity and bring in kids from underserved areas of the country. Some day that won't be an issue, I hope. If SAT's were the only way to select future leaders and officers, the services...

    3 q'd and nominated, will I get into naps?

    I don't know anyonewho has received a letter about scholastic qualifications. I thought a letter was only sent if you weren't qual'd in scholastics and CFA. Maybe I'm wrong about that letters deal. Anyone have the straight scoop for the 2014 class? Thanks.

    April 15th

    Our Senators and Congressman (Florida) required each candidate to specify and apply for one SA. Then, after the interview process, they pooled their info so that there were no double nom's ... supposedly. This info comes from two of the three MOC's. Fortunately, our nom got his USNA nom...

    Competiveness rumor

    Fuji, I sure did know what I wanted to do, even though I never did it (a physical limitation). Sometimes just wanting to do something and finding it impossible, is just one of the best things that happens to you. I really value your thoughts and eloquent way of making the point. From what...

    USNA1985

    Did you say that after March 1st, a nominee can't add to his/her file, other than USNA officially requested info transcripts from high school, etc. So, past March 1st, no more CFA updates right? Thanks

    Usna thin white envelope

    I really didn't understand what you are trying to say. 17,000 applicants seems to be less than relevant now since MOC noms have been completed, files can'r be updated by candidates, etc. Am I wrong?

    The Waiting Thread...

    Thought police!!! Thought police!!! Give me a break. I didn't serve this great country to fear some mythical boogeyman. I served with all ethnic backgrounds, officer and Non-Coms. Excellence and idiocy knows no color or race. If the USNA wants to go ethnic and sacrifice its high...
