Still waiting on the wait list here. Was told that admissions was trying to wrap things up as quickly as possible but there are cases when a candidate hears as late as mid July! Getting tired of the wait but what can you do?:unhappy:

I'm not familiar with that program. What exactly is it? Do you report on matriculation day?

wannabe, I too got wait listed for NAPS. Not sure what I'll do at this point if I get pulled from the list. I have been accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill, Virginia Tech and The Citadel. I really want a military college experience. My brother is at The Citadel and I have really liked what i've...

Will definitely keep you updated. Hope I hear before July since NAPS starts in July. Would be nice to have a little heads-up. I understand your choice very well. I am very interested in both Marines and Navy Seals which is why USNA is the optimal place for me to go since I could potentially...

Got a TWE today but was happy when I read that I have been placed on the waitlist for NAPS. At least the door is not completely shut. Not sure what my chances are of getting a spot from the list but I'm going to remain hopeful but very cautiously. I'm moving forward as though I'll be going to...

Hey pilot2b, Just got my TWE today from USNA but all is not lost. It has me on the waitlist for NAPS. I was expecting the dreaded outright rejection so this was welcome news. Just more waiting though which is killing me. I saw where you were accepted to AFA! Dude, that's amazing especially...

Matthew1994, Sorry to hear about your TWE but you definitely cleared something up for me. I'm still waiting out here in NC for any word from USNA and I've already been told by my BGO that my application is in a pool for potential NAPS but I was wondering if I got the TWE, if that meant NAPS was...

Thanks Pilot2be. I remember when you posted that you got your offer. I was curious if TWE's went out first but it sounds like there is no specified order to how it all goes down. Thanks for your insight and again, best of luck!

I was wondering if anyone knows how USNA notifies you about an appt to NAPS or Foundation school. If I get a TWE, will it also mention whether I am no longer being considered for either NAPS or Foundation or will I still be in the running for a potential slot? Last year my brother got USMAPS...

Silver979, I got an email from my XO up in Raleigh. Actually, what happened was the OSO up in Raleigh accidentally emailed a group of us that were not getting the scholarship, thinking that we had already been notified, and talked about other options like PLC. When I got that email, I called...

My brother is a knob at The Citadel and he wears Thorogoods. He says they shine the best. There are other brands that are more comfortable but as you'll find out, being shiny is really important to the upperclassmen! I'm heading to The Citadel in August too. Where are you from? Will you be...

Marine option Scholarship I didn't get the scholarship offer either. I'm hoping for a slot at NAPS or Foundation but if neither comes through, I'll go to The Citadel, apply for PLC and also reapply to USNA. There's many ways to skin that cat so if one door closes, guaranteed there are other...

BFE Congratulation to your DS!:thumb: That's great news for all of you! I'm wondering if anyone can answer a question for me. USNA admissions is telling me that I should hear something by April 15th. I already know that my file was placed in a pool for NAPS or Foundation. If the admissions...

I recently spoke with someone at Dodmerb who said that they caught on to candidates finding out about an acceptance or declination based on status changes on Dodmerb so they have since changed that and all applicants will not be able to find out through Dodmerb before the candidate is notified...

jocomom, I sent you a PM. Congrats on your DS's award!
