I think this original poster is being attacked a bit. It’s impossible to tell tone in a post and while it may come off as a bit elitist, I understand what they are saying. It can be frustrating to see candidates that on paper have stats much lower than you get picked up immediately and you are...

My son’s has said and has said this for months. I assume he’s been reviewed. The NSTC Selection/Placement Office has received your application.

Can only speak for Naval Academy but think it’s all similar. To quote my daughter regarding vision: “They LASIK everybody”

That’s what I am wondering. Or if the board even happened. I know my daughter is in the Navy active duty now in DC and she is not allowed to travel etc. She mostly works from home as well. But many things have been wonky this year.

It’s weird because the first couple boards, results were out just a few days later.

Has anyone heard anything from last week’s board? Did the board happen?

Oh for sure. My son is waiting too. When I posted that we deferred my daughter’s acceptance to the civilian college (as opposed to Naval Academy), we let NROTC know that she would be passing on that option. Just didn’t want to go through the entire application process again of applying to...

Thank you. Appreciate it.

It’s not a question. If someone is a great test taker and has great stats as well, their competitive advantage in prior years was the great test scores over an equal candidate who doesn’t test as well. This test optional year takes away that advantage. Not sure if that was what the OP was...

I think it is more is the competitive advantage of testing well watered down or eliminated due to no testing requirement?
