So happy for all of you who have gotten your appointments. Hopefully for the rest of us the waiting will be over soon.

Thank you. That is a bit more clear. I may grab a drink or 2 anyway.

So just for clarity, USNA has until April 15 to give answers to all applicants? Come, Stay or Wait?

So here it is, the dawn of April is upon us and noting yet. I am glad we have options, and have actually paid seat deposits at other schools, but USNA, is first choice. My DS is as chill as can be and does not mind waiting until his envelope, be it fat or thin, comes in the mail. Me, on the...

To start, I love seeing the Appointment list grow. So happy fore every candidate who get in. But with 107 as of this reading and assuming a class size of approximately 1200, is it foolish to assume that there are about 1100 spots left to be filled? Or like in life, are only 20% of candidates...

Hopefully not the wrong place to ask, but Does the academy send out letters to candidates who do not get an appointment?

Yeah I am anxious as hell to know, I suppose that's just the parental nature in me, but all I can do now is...

Thanks. I appreciate the perspective. I would assume that is the general climate in admissions. Tons of parents and other people calling to vote for their favorite candidate. Thankfully I am a 15 year ARMY vet so I know how to hurry up and wait.

Thank you. That is exactly what I thought, its great to have someone in the corner, but please just cheerlead, don't interfere.

Completely agree.

Great question, I am actually so against the idea of that If merit and the rest of what ever the academy has in the recipe is not enough for any candidate to get an appointment then no amount of who anyone knows should help. My question is does it hurt the applicant. This guy is a great guy has...
