My friends that were on the waitlist received the same letter as mentioned above

Start a club! It's the easiest way to make youself the president. Also, I would retake the ACT if you have time. ROTC is generally very competitive, and while a 32 is a good score, you should always try to score a perfect (36) or quite near it (34-35). The ACT is one of the most predictable...

I heard that VT didn't take anyone off the waitlist this year as their yield was higher than expected

Over the past year, I've just noticed several things about the entire application process which could be improved upon because they aren't really as "fair" as I would think. The handling of my application by usna itself was fine enough from what I saw. The nomination system and the blue chip...

I also just got the bad news from the waitlist. I have many complaints about the system, none of which are relevant at this point. Such is life, time to improve my application for next year and prepare for nrotc at uva!

Yes

Yes

I've posted this on another thread too - I got a 35 on the ACT on my first attempt and got waitlisted, and my friend who graduated last year superscored a 32 and got into the Foundation Program (he will join the class of 2021). Just as the others said, aim for the best score you can get.

I got a tier three nrotc with a 4.21 weighted gpa (~3.9 unweighted) and 35 ACT - still got waitlisted from the Academy. I'm the xc and outdoor track captain at my school, and I'll graduate with 8 APs taken. Anything can happen, and your application will represent much more than just your...

I also received mine last week!

I was waitlisted by USNA, and, in anticipation of a turndown, I am starting to think about reapplying. The school that I will attend in the fall (UVA) is in a different congressional district than the one I live in - would I become eligible for that Congresman's nomination? Couldn't I...

That document is several years outdated - my portal isn't working right now (presumably because c/o 2022 preliminary apps opened recently) otherwise I would check the exact year it was put up...2010 I think?
