    Class of 2020 USNA Appointment Thread

    It is my impression that "still being in the game" (ie. CPR) is not a guarantee of being 3Q. If you are medically disqualified, the process of obtaining a waiver does not start until a conditional appointment is offered, correct? Or do they even inform you when they are in the process of...

    Class of 2020 USNA Appointment Thread

    Wow, I call that being connected! :-) 5 NAPsters from the SC lowcountry is pretty good...must be something in the water, unless there are some from the upstate that you didn't mention.

    What are my chances (sorry for posting one of these)

    Confusing verbiage

    Just for follow-up, admissions said there were no action items on his part, despite the way it was written. The good news is that he found out yesterday he has received an MOC nom; it is now completely out of his hands, and in His hands!

    Confusing verbiage

    Admissions has written to him in the last couple of weeks and said he is complete except for waiver. DoDMERB has said it is in USNA hands now. I know he needs to reengage with them, I was wondering if this made sense to anyone prior to his phone call.

    Another one bites the dust...

    We are blessed to have such great schools in SC, great choices, great forum mates! He is already planning his next ACT, probably the biggest reason he did not get in. He is not alone in being single-minded about preparing for next time from what I have seen. Keep the faith!

    "official" timetable?

    DS just saw something posted to the USNA CANDIDATES Facebook page posted by Judi Hanley: "April 15: All class of 2019 candidates will be notified by this date" Is there anything to this pronouncement? It also said that May 1st was the deadline for appointees to notify USNA of their...

    USNA vs USAFA

    Lighten up, you asked a group of people who either want to go to the USNA or have a DS/DD that they are rooting for to attend USNA. You have what is known as "an embarrassment of riches". Honestly, I also hope you take the USAFA appointment too...for the same reason. But to get 2 appointments...
