Did not receive waitlist email. Still waiting on USMA and USAFA... Could be a rough week/month. Happy with plan B though. 
I'm still CPR as of right now.
To become a College Programmer ("walk-on") at your Plan B school, make contact with the unit ASAP. They are already taking applications and forming up their units as we speak. Each unit has a limit on how many MIDN they can take (scholarship + non-scholarship), so don't wait. They typically have many forms you need to fill out, which takes time.
I agree, and I can empathize. My DD received hers while sitting in class with the only other USNA applicant/appointee from her school. Hard to keep it together anyway, even harder when sitting next to someone who is on the other side of the fence. However, that said... her friends and classmates were tremendous. And, I believe it was a tough but valuable lesson. But my heart hurt for her. I am so sorry for your DS's TWE, but now that we are 2 weeks beyond I can honestly say that once these kids wrap their heads around their other Plan A's, they will commit whole heartedly and you will see that sense of satisfaction, acceptance, and excitement for the next four year. Congrats to him on a job well done... it was a rough road. I want to wish him the very best as he continues to work towards becoming an officer.
Thank you so much. DD is happily moving forward with her "other Plan A". She will NROTC assigned to the Notre Dame brigade going to my alma mater, Saint Mary's College. She found out that she will be among the first class to pursue a physics with applied mathematics major, and has already found and met her roomates.... one of whom is Marine option ROTC and science major and the other is also a science major. She knows that she has found her "home", as much as she would have loved the privilege of USNA. She is not ruling out reapplying, but happily pursuing her other Plan A right now. CONGRATS to your DS on his acceptance at VT! I hope all is well with him and that he is moving forward as only these kids can do... with their heads held high! Take care-

Woke up and saw the TWE in my email. Incredible experience and I'm glad to say I still have other options. With that being said, looks like I will probably go to USMA. Go Army, Beat Navy
We visited Usmma last year. I loved it, but she ended up going elsewhere. She had been in crew and the crew coach gave us a tour of the crew facilities at usmma. He is an awesome guy. He coached an Olympic team one year and is all about crew, trying to build the program (at least then) so if you are interested in crew you should really like it there!
Good luck! I hope he hears something absolutely wonderful either USAFA or USMA!
Yeah I did the same thing this year. The coach was very nice and was very informative. If USMMA does not work out I'll be rowing for SUNY Maritime but USMMA is definitely the preferred school.
