Just wanted to mention a few updates! I received an offer of appointment to the United States Naval Academy yesterday! So excited and honored! Still can't believe it!

Also, I called the Citadel admissions office and asked if they had my complete application. They said they did, and that it would take about 4 weeks - 6 weeks for a decision. Is this an accurate timeframe for those who have been accepted?

From what I have read it is fairly accurate.


And you don't understand how envious of you I am right now! I went to Nass and I absolutely loved it, I wish I wasn't messed up grade wise!!

Thank you very much, and I doubt you messed up your grades! You've been accepted to such outstanding schools!

Wow that's a very intense group of ec's! Hopefully I find out before 4 weeks
 
My son was just accepted to The Citadel, completed the online app on 9/3, transcripts send on 9/24. Acceptance letter received today 10/5. So at least from our experience, the 4-6 weeks is a fairly accurate timeframe. Good luck!
 
Just wanted to provide an exciting update! I received my acceptance letter to the Citadel yesterday on 10/09. The letter is dated 10/04. I am shocked about how fast I received a decision! My application file was labeled to be complete on 09/28. I must've caught the Citadel right before a review board!
 
I am a current knob in the class of 2016, and I recieved my acceptance letter less than a week after applying. However, I didn't apply until late April/early May of my senior year of high school. Any questions about the school please feel free to PM me or post on this thread.
 
No i was talking about me. Apparently my previous school had a class called global issues and it isnt US history even though our text books title was "US History"
 
Updated 10/17/12:thumb:
The Citadel- Accepted (recd acceptance letter on 9/13)
Norwich University-Accepted (recd acceptance letter on 9/21)
North Georgia-Waitlisted since August (wont hear about whether she gets off waitlist until Dec ugh)
Campbell University-Accepted
Liberty University-Accepted
Winthrop University-Decision pending
Lander University-Accepted
USC Upstate-Decision pending
Marshall-Accepted

**North Georgia was and still is first choice**
Should find out about the remaining two schools by the end of this month. Then we sit back and wait for North georgia status in December.
 
Update

Got a letter from the Citadel asking for my first semester grades.
 
Accepted:

Texas A&M (Mechanical Engineering)


Applied:

Benedictine College (Mechanical Engineering)
Texas A&M--Commerce (Industrial Engineering)

I should hear from BC soon, and TAMU-C as soon as they get my transcript.
 
Update: Received my letter of acceptance from Benedictine College today.


P.S. Can I not edit my posts on this forum after a while?

That is correct. I believe once the browser session ends (you close the browser) then you can no longer edit your posts. Of course your session can time out as well which would lead to the same result.
