USNA 2025 Waiting and....Waiting

It does not. At least it didn't for a family I know. They forfeited the initial deposit shortly after Plan B went into effect. They had visited the school and sat through the welcome briefs (mid April). The child received a small swag bag, tee shirt and lanyard during the mini orientation. Ready to embrace plan B, a wrench got thrown into that plan in late May. The parents and child were surprised and happy with their sudden change of fortune. They were glad at at having lost the deposit money (I'm guessing). Not sure what they did with the pricey tee shirt and lanyard. It’s never over until it’s over.

Good luck as you wait.

Lol, I will also welcome the loss of deposit money should the appointment Gods cast their light this way! I imagine with the cost of tuition the Plan B people can eat the cost of that pricey tshirt and swag bag! Thank you :)

Is there anyone here from VA? I saw that there has been one appointment already and that candidate also received the Pres Nom (in addition to Sen/MOC). I wonder if that was one of the reasons for the earlier decisions and why no other VA candidates have heard yet. I do realize that it's completely possible that VA Candidates have heard and may not have posted or might not even be on this board. I have discovered 30 new grey hairs over the last couple of weeks... LOL

Some people complained about a tough wait for the Ivy day. Oh, they don't know the real torture until they have to wait for the Naval Academy decision! :jump1:

100% in agreement with that statement!!!!!! Every day slowly pushes me closer and closer to insanity as I wait for my son to fly through the door with some form of news!!! lol
 
Well, the waiting is finally over for the last of the civilian schools my DS applied to. He just got the denial from Duke. Heck, those odds make USNA look like a safety school...lol. Duke received 50,000 applicants for 1700 spots (3.4%). They received 10,000 more applicants this year than last. USNA is the number one choice and would have been even with a Duke admit and NROTC scholarship but he still has some pretty nice B,C, and D options! It can't be too much longer (or can it)!

Head college counselor at DD's school says it's the toughest Regular Admission year he has seen in his 19 years. Maybe a combination of test optional schools and applicants who took a gap year now applying helped to increase applications quite a lot.

It really is weird. I thought after last year overall applications to colleges may be down this year. That does not seem to be the case, at least at competitive, prestigious schools, the numbers are way up. From what I have read, “test optional” was a big factor in that. However, I believe many of the smaller, expensive, private schools are struggling to keep their enrollment up. I am also basing that on what I have read and on the desperate emails my DS keeps getting that extend the application deadline, waive the application fee and practically beg him to apply.
