I don't think you can conclude that at all. I don't think anybody knows what any of this means. A wave of rejections and then a wave of wait lists and then another wave of rejections. None of it makes any sense in the traditional manner of how most colleges make admissions decisions. So maybe I'm just overly optimistic but it seems to me that if you have made it this far they must be seriously considering you and anything can happen between now and Friday. So try to relax as best you can. It won't be much longer.I don't intend to be negative but I'm sure if we don't hear anything back earlier than Friday, it must be a TWE.
Congrats 3Tombro3, great job! You got what I've been told is the "Golden Ticket" to USNA! Get a chance to hone up your study skills even more and max out your CFA! Doesn't get any better, plus you get to go into the academy with a great edge! Piece of cake, you got this! We come aboard, sir! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!
Indeed, a Foundations offer is fabulous news. Resist the urge to think of this as anything but a blessing. Several on this forum who were offered Foundations thought of it as "being held back" or "having to stay one more year in high school." DO NOT THINK LIKE THIS. This is the gift of an extra year of maturity and many other things. I recommend going as far away from home as possible. Take the courses you were afraid to take in high school for fear of lowering your gpa (huge assumption but almost every kid I know does this). Also, you will now do the PRT and NOT the CFA. Running, crunches and pushups. See ya, basketball throw! Another bit of advice: DO NOT constantly stay in contact with all of your buddies at State U who might be "having the time of their lives". You have signed up for a different path. Their ways are not your ways--and their "fun" is defined differently than yours. Your fun comes with a BFE at the end and a ticket to one of the best Universities in the US followed by a career (maybe) as a Naval Officer.
good luck... at least the waiting game for you is over....Received my TWE 12:30 ET. Second time applicant. I will be attending USMA.

Why is a parent emailing admissions? Shouldn't that come from the applicant? Or at least have the appearance of coming from the applicant (their email/name). They are applying to be future leaders. Coaches/colleges don't want to hear from parents. Just a suggestion. Probably not the best timing but good info for future reference. Best of luck, hope you and your DS get good news.E-mail from one of the Admissions Counselors. "No final decision has been made for your son's application. We will have all admissions decisions emailed out by this Friday. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Have a great day."
Do you know which academy or college you will attend prep year?I think I may be the only one on the naval academy forums that finally heard something back today. I received a foundation class of 2020 offer with a phone call this morning! I am very excited for the opportunity and I am happy to finally hear something back. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that I didn't get in this year because 2020 has such a nice ring to it, but I think by this time next year 2021 will sound better. I have heard nothing but good things in regards to prep before Naval Academy admission, especially from my father, who took 2 extra years before getting into the Academy, so I am very excited to receive this opportunity to develop even more before next year. I was a little surprised to see the foundation offer, so even if you don't think you're the candidate they're looking for, keep your hope up!
Good luck to anyone still waiting!

Good suggestion - DS is too busy with NJROTC (Battalion Commander type commitments), volunteer commitments, church, work, and other commitments. As an active duty marine w/ over 21 yrs of service, I would prefer e-mailing another member of the military than pretend that I am my DS.Why is a parent emailing admissions?
