Suggest skimming the latest appointment thread at
On the self-reporting list I see 3 from Florida, but several did not share what state they are from. My DS is anxiously awaiting from Florida as well.
you find out via portal nowadays. Usually they say turned down or something like that
or Alabama?
It means exactly that. Your app has been reviewed, voted on and scored. It then goes to the Appt and Noms committee where they review slates and slotting for appts.
Yep, they did this last year at DS’s school where they had three appointees including DS!Oh yeah I forgot about those type of ceremonies
As Urkillingmesmallz posted above, I'd not look into or make any assumptions based on appointments posted this year or in past years here on the SA Fourm. In general, it is a very small number of the overall appointments that are posted here. There could be 10 appointments posted in the coming days or 800. Unless you are in "The room where it happens" at USNA admissions, you don't know. Until you get a TWE you are in it still.As I assume many candidates are, I am religiously checking my portal, and jumping out of my skin at every spam or un-expected callI've also been studying the previous appointment lists, and here is what I've found:
As of 7pm Pacific time on March 30th,
This year (Class of 2028), has 102.
For the Class of 2027, we were at 123 (out of a total of 154)
For the Class of 2026, we were at 133 (out of a total of 164)
What might the cause of this be? Here are the possibilities I came up with: (in no particular order)
1. Admissions is behind on sending out appointments.
2. This form is just less used (mods are probably the only people who could really speak to this, with all that data.)
3. Fewer people post appointments. IDK, privacy?
4. I don't understand some basic concepts of probability and large numbers/ratios that would explain this. (Likely, because I have never taken a real statistics class)
Anyways, maybe I just need to stop obsessing
we are from Delaware.
From Alabama, but still pending.
it'll show "waiver pending" on the portal instead of disqualified
How did you know a waiver request was submitted?
