USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

You could hear anytime once your application is complete and your first semester college grades are received. Reapplicant or first timer, most hear in the mid/late Jan to mid-March timeframe. As you know USNA doesn’t release their WCS formula, but I am sure they have this factored in for reaaplicants. As far as I know, your intended major does not impact your admissions. I would think the best thing to help yourself would be taking a Plebe like schedule and knocking it out of the park and a positive endorsement from your leadership in NROTC.

I know some people are getting portal change first, but in DD case...MOC phone call during school via Guidance Counselors office on Tuesday, Portal updated (with email stating change of status) Thursday.
She will be excitedly checking the snail mail box for BFE over the next week.
 
I think that's pretty nifty that MOCs are making these calls. That must be such fun for them. Can you imagine? Like calling to tell someone that they just won the lottery. :)

My college DS got a call from his MOC Wednesday around 1700 ( see what I did there) and thankfully noted it was a local number to our home. Upon answering, he had a very nice conversation with MOC, even thanking him for his work in our district (good job son). Good idea to have talking points in mind when/if the MOC calls so the candidate can communicate though his or her excitement.

Also...Portal just updated this morning and a nice letter from the Superintendent was in his email. After an amazing long journey we all couldn’t be more ecstatic.
 
The journey has just begun. Congratulations to your DS. The relief will be replaced by trepidation as I-Day approaches, and then the rollercoaster really gets going. Have fun !

Congratulations! I love seeing MA on the board.
 
My DS is in the Foundation Prep program and is CPR currently. What is the time frame that USNA Admissions releases the Foundation Prep appointments? BTW, for athletes that are looking for a leg up in preparation for USNA, the Foundation Prep program is second to none. DS doesn't like the feeling of being "back in HS" since he is a Post Grad at a 9-12 boarding school in PA...too bad, so sad...it was the right thing to help him with learning to do hard things and leading others placed in his stewardship. Congrats to all, so far, my DS will be excited to serve side by side with each of you.
 
Foundation Prep, NAPS, and prior Enlisted candidates all have a leg up on the ones fresh out of High School. The ones fresh out of High School would do well to follow their lead after I-Day.

My DS also received the call from Senator on Wednesday late afternoon to his cell. Very friendly and asked him about his current studies, future plans etc. Told DS that if he needs anything that he can always give that office a call. DS received the email the next day with appointment letter from the Academy.

Does anyone know how the Academy decides who they will give LOAs to? Are they given to committed athletes? Do you already have to have a nomination? It looks like everyone who has posted here already has a nomination. Our MOCs in NY haven't even scheduled their interviews yet. I realize the end goal is to receive an appointment, but I was curious if anyone knew what the mechanism was. Thanks

I know I am stating the obvious, but LOAs are given to candidates that the Academies are interested in, not necessarily only recruited athletes. They can also go to candidates with TOP academic/test scores. SAT/ACT scores are a huge factor in determining who gets LOAs. Good Luck!
 
I can guarantee you that high test scores are not the trigger to an LOA - they may be in the mix but there are many other factors. Case in point - DS has 800M/760 E, 35 ACT composite (single sitting), high class rank, and many other "it" factors and he has been CPR since early September. (We are not in a hugely competitive district).

Don't try and figure this LOA stuff out - it will split your brain like Fermi split the atom.

Those are great numbers! Hang in there.

I assume my son got his LOA based on his high scores and class rank plus 9 varsity letters and his extracurricular activities - all with leadership.

His LOA came right after he submitted his CFA.

My DS is in the Foundation Prep program and is CPR currently. What is the time frame that USNA Admissions releases the Foundation Prep appointments? BTW, for athletes that are looking for a leg up in preparation for USNA, the Foundation Prep program is second to none. DS doesn't like the feeling of being "back in HS" since he is a Post Grad at a 9-12 boarding school in PA...too bad, so sad...it was the right thing to help him with learning to do hard things and leading others placed in his stewardship. Congrats to all, so far, my DS will be excited to serve side by side with each of you.

My DS is in the same program (and same state in fact) and I went back to look at the emails from Capt. Wallace. Looks like "Final USNA Admissions Board for your appointment decisions will be in early April, 2019. " . So, the wait continues.

If the normal application process and waiting is a marathon, then I consider the extra year for NAPS or Foundation to be an Iron Man :)
 
@A1Janitor Call me clueless, but how does someone get 9 varsity letters? Our school/sport gives 1 letter for 1st yr. varsity play- then pin/distinction after that.
 
@A1Janitor Call me clueless, but how does someone get 9 varsity letters? Our school/sport gives 1 letter for 1st yr. varsity play- then pin/distinction after that.

Our school gives a varsity letter for each year he plays on a varsity sport. He ran cross country on varsity for 3 years, played tennis for four years, and played basketball for two years.

So under your system - 3 letters and 6 pins?

And I might be wrong about this ... but in his application they asked what sports he played varsity and the number of years - didn’t talk about letters?
 
Most schools award the actual “letter” their first year, and the the pins attach to the letters for subsequent varsity “letters”. So the pins are considered “letters earned”. Traditionally, the one main letter is sewed onto the varsity coat, and then the pin bling is attached to the one letter. Vs sewing on 9 of the same letter all over the coat. Those coats don’t seem to be popular anymore. But for the purpose of reporting “letter earned”, the pin would serve the same purpose.

At our school, being on the varsity team doesn’t necessarily mean a letter is earned. I suppose that’s why they ask. Certain performance standards must be met to earn a letter (or pin) at our school. We are State Champs, perhaps that is why our school does it that way? But yes they do ask for Varsity (yes/no), letter earned (yes/no) (Maybe that was the ROTC, not USNA app...it’s been a while and I don’t recall for certain). It’s something I remember, though as DS had to look into that. He had letters in 10, but member of varsity for 11 (called up to varsity halfway through sophomore year so was on the varsity roster/team but didn’t letter that year Bc he didn’t get in a game). So there can be a distinction to be made.
