Portal just updated for me with a wait-list result. Has anyone else gotten this also, or does anyone have any information about waitlisting?
Last year my DS was wait listed and had to wait until mid June to find out that he didn't get in.Portal just updated for me with a wait-list result. Has anyone else gotten this also, or does anyone have any information about waitlisting?
I was wait-listed as well, I think it just means we get to wait longer than April 15th for our appointments! Best of luck to both of us!
Hi,
Has anyone received the BFE with all of the paperwork that needs to be completed before Induction day? Or does anyone know when these are usually sent out? Thank you for your help!
By "very few have gotten off the wait list", do you mean very few actually get accepted or very few get denied?There is no ranking on the wait list and if they did, they wouldn't disclose it. If it goes like past years they will cut the wait list some in early-mid May. This is based upon the yield rate of the class. They know at that point how many have accepted and where they are with the target number. They usually then do another cut right before I Day. The past few years very few have gotten off the wait list.

However, he got an email from admissions to suggest he reapply because they thought he was a strong applicant. They suggested the courses he should take etc.. He reapplied, went to his plan B school and got his appointment this year! It seemed like a lot of work, but looking at it now, he is so much better prepared after having spent one year at college and rotc and feels truly excited about plebe year! My suggestion ,even if it doesn't work out this year " don't give up the ship" !! Waitlisted applicants have a great chance of success the following year!

I dont think there is a Wait List thread. From what I have heard, being on the wait list is kinda rare (usually only around 70-120 students on the list in the nation, annually). You can always create the tread if you want, or just ask other members some questions, I personally e-mailed my BGO on Monday regarding my questions: If he doesnt answer back soon I will rely on the forum.
