Yes, When I called to find out the status of my son's application I was told that he would indeed need to contact them to remain on the waitlist. This is the waitlist for direct entry to the accademy, not for NAPS. We have yet to receive the letter stating that he is on the waitlist. They actually asked him to call back and when he did, they gave him an e-mail address so that he could confirm his wishes to remain on the waitlist. He wrote the email address down wrong, because his email was returned undeliverable, that is why he was asking for it on here. If only we had received the letter then all of this confusion would not be taking place right now. He will call on Monday to confirm that they received his email.
