QNS today. All good. invested a lot of time on Plan B. Just glad it didn’t come in June. If placement exams need to be taken for Plan Bs take them.

If the admissions advisor doesn't think you will get in because of SAT scores (unfortunate, they don't look at the whole person), or they will not request a medical waiver what is taking so long for the denial. I don't get it.

Not much help with this response from admissions. No change, as you are still in a Hold Status. That said, I’d encourage you to explore other options (i.e. “Plan B”), as I cannot guarantee you will be accepted from the Hold list.

Sorry the waiting is wrong especially going into April some May. You are taking these kids at this point because the academy can’t fill a slot because some declined. Not buying it’s competitive at this point. Maybe at beginning but not now. How can someone not feel second best.

Question is, is it worth it? The feeling kids getting appt are an after thought to fill slots. Which makes me feel I don’t want it to be their second choice because of numbers. To leave these kids in suspense is ridiculous. Yes it’s and academy and government paid for but at this point even a...

So I understand, if a state is allowed 4 slots and another state is allowed 2 slots and the state that is allowed 2 has more than two competitive candidates, can they take a seat from the state that has 4 slots but maybe not all 4 are competitive. This process is so damn confusing who they are...

What are the numbers per state that have slots to fill. I thought I saw something at one point in time

Are appointments offered by state until they get through all of them. It’s been so random

Curious anyone on hold who have not visited school yet? If so I can imagine the stress of being on hold and the unknown. I have not seen the school but my DS has and I am very anxious of the unknown.

Not sure why but has there always been a candidate ID on portal. Never noticed before

Would just like to be able to get excited for next adventure. We have a solid Plan B, but can't even get excited about that until we know about Plan A. We can't help but stress and the process is so long.

So if a state has a certain amount of slots, does it matter what their GPA/SAT/Extra. For example, a state has two slots one applicant may not be all that competitive, do they have to take them if only two apply. I keep reading that HOLD is a good thing. Just feel spots only open when people...

Sorry to hear that and don't give up hope. Did your DS see this on his portal, email or call?

Does someone tell you at USMMA that you are 3q or figure out for oneself
