That was a smart move if you didn't think of any plan B&C, I will do the same.I got rejected this morning as well.
Hopefully the air force takes me, although I'm not so sure now. Haven't done much looking into other plan B's...
I was I'm the same boat with reguarding to plan Bs. I enlisted.

In the beginning of the thread it said email...there was also an example of one.....so sad.....Hi everyone, so sorry to hear about all the TWEs today. Were you notified by email that your portal updated or was the notification only in your portal? Just curious. Thanks!

@Vitalzt and others: All very true. But many career fields are highly technical and there is a strong market in the civilian world for them. Do your research and/or take the ASVAB to see what you qualify. Not all jobs are created equal. Best of luck!I would hold your horses. You must do research. Enlistment isn't for everyone.
It will suck at times and it can be demanding.
I received my TWE this morning and was 3Qed. My goal as always been to serve our country as an Active Duty Naval Officer. I'm looking at my plan B options now and could use some advice. I haven't heard back on my NROTC scholarships but was accepted to all my schools for mechanical engineering. It seems time is running short on further NROTC scholarship boards. I have received an appointment to the USMMA and I think it will come down to accepting my appointment at the USMMA or accepting an offer at one of my colleges and joining NROTC as a College Option. No matter what choice, I know that studying and training hard is key. I'm just not sure what path to take for someone striving for a Navy Commission.
Can BGOs give any guidance on why a student was not offered an appointment? Do they have access to that info?
BGOs are not informed on reasons for rejection or acceptance to USNA. We have no way of knowing what goes on in the selection process, but we see hundreds of highly qualified applicants turned down year after year. Remember, 18,000 apply, about 6,000 are qualified applicants, then that number gets whittled down to about 3,000 with nominations. Of that number, only 1175 get in. Of the 1175 that get in, about 250 are from NAPS and another 50 from foundation schools, leaving only about 875 spots. Getting in is like threading a needle. If there were BGOs that could figure out the process and guarantee successful admission, they'd be rich.
On another note, BGOs are not informed ahead of time regarding the status of their candidates. Yes, we have access to the status of our candidates, but often times the candidate finds out their status before the BGO has an updated system. Plus, our guidance from Admissions is that we are not allowed to inform the candidate of the candidates status even if we did know.
Best of luck to all of those turned down for admission. Keep striving and know that you'll end up where you're supposed to be.

That is a total different path to serve, to say the least. May I ask what rating has she selected? And how did she pick it?DD got her email as well. Still waiting for West Point, but her Plan B is still in full force as Delayed Entry Navy Enlisted. So if USMA says no, the Navy still gets her on August 2nd and she is reapplying and trying to come in from the fleet.
