I applied to delayed entry as a plan B for the academies earlier this year. Even though I was rejected from the academies, I decided I wanted to go to college and self prep and then reapply. I told my recruiter and he is not the happiest about it. He is saying there are to many if’s and gambles...

That is also my plan as well!! I am trying to be a linguist!

Don't get too in your head about other people's statistics. The Academy has its process and you just have to trust it. It's an accomplishment in itself to make it this far in the application process. Good luck and I hope to see you on the appointment thread soon!

There are far too many perfect applicants to where they can't take them all every year. The best way to get accepted is to show them you are determined and apply again. No matter what your DD does she seems to have plenty of options where she can thrive outside of the Academy. Good luck to you!

My application was turned down by USNA this morning. I have been looking at the prep schools and have already applied to MMI, NMMI, and GMC. Are there any tips on which prep school to pick? Price is definitely one of my big factors so any of those eastern private schools are kind of off the...

6 more days!!! In my case, I miss having a reason to check the portal every chance I get. Good luck to your DS! Getting this far in the application and not being turned down is an accomplishment in itself. Don't give up hope!

A couple hours after my portal changed I received an email saying I had been turned down.

Well, as I’ve posted on other threads, I was turned down today. It was upsetting to get turned down but it is relieving to now have all of my decisions so I can make my finalized plan A. I will be reapplying until I age out 😭. I will be staying on the thread until then. I am excited to see the...

So basically I was checking my portal around 10:30 this morning and upon refresh it went straight from pending to turned down. I think the portal times out after a set amount of time and makes you log back in.

Yeah, we are officially in purge mode. I accidentally started the trend when I watched it happen in real time on my app 😭. To all of the fellow applicants who got turned down today, good luck with your future endeavors and I hope to see you all as fellow classmates for the class of 29'. We all...

MMI is probably my top option. Applying for scholarships right now!

In the process of deciding what should be my plan A. I just finished applying to MMI, NMMI, and GMC. If I decide to go the prep route I hope to see some of yall there!

My portal just changed to turned down. Does anyone know if I am still in the running for NAPS and Prep?

Day ????. Pending since November. I am sure we will all hear very soon. Good luck to everyone!

Eclipse is going to be an interesting time in Arkansas. My town already has terrible traffic and roads shut down. It probably doesn't help that it's a national park 😭
