Pending VA-10.

Will it be fine if I try to email them or try to message my BGO about what's going on or should I be patient until next week?

We were communicated with admin counselor/hs counselor and asked to contact admissions if we hadn’t heard anything by Monday afternoon.

Incredible how I can get waitlisted, exponentially increase my application, and get TD a year later

well, hell, this is not what anyone in my house was hoping to see for you. I don't get it.
FWIW, you have shown considerable grace and maturity (far more than I could have mustered at your age, and likely more than I could even now) throughout this process. I know you'll continue to do great things.

Ditto. Was hoping for @anom's appointment as well.
 
I appreciate all the kind words. I will continue to lurk on here, but will be less vocal. I'm frustrated, upset, and most evidently confused. I don't even know what to say. If I ever feel up to it, I will post all three of my apps, but I can't guarantee anything. Feels more personal this time, especially with all the deadline changes, and this one hurt way more than I thought it would. To everyone that got accepted, don't quit in a moment of desperation. PS will be hard, and Plebe Year will be harder, but if you must, think about the guys and gals who would die to be in your spot. It is going to suck, but 20 years later you will be sitting around a campfire with your family telling stories about the great times at the Yard, inspiring the next generation of officers and servicemembers. I'm proud of everyone here, and sad I won't get to meet you all on June 27th.

Again, I really hate this for you. Such a gut punch and I am very sorry.

I really think you are on to great things.

I appreciate it, and hopefully that second part is true :)

I know it doesn’t feel like it right now, but amazing things are in store for you. I’m old, really old & there have been several times in my life where I just didn’t get why things happened the way they did. Yes, they are still in the back of my mind - but then eventually everything becomes more clear. It doesn’t take the sting 💯 away but it definitely makes me more wise. Sometimes I’m jealous of folks who didn’t have to experience some of the things I did at a young age - sometimes it still happens (& I’m really old!) but I get back on the horse & keep on keeping on. I’m sorry you were dealt this blow. You will be a fantastic leader based on your experiences. Keep on keeping on! You got this!

I don't blame your feelings one bit. NROTC is an amazing path though, and you will make an amazing officer. While you're in this place,just understand that It could be worse. What if you weren't able to become an officer at all? What if something prevented you from acheiving your other dreams? Sometimes you just gotta work with wacha got. I've seen people destroy themselves over the smallest things (not saying this is small) and it isn't pretty.

Keep your chin up. You're doing great. You have a drive that most others do not have, and that holds alot of respect from me and many, many, many, other people.

Your stories are going to be just as good as those other people, at least your not putting another four years down the drain that could be spent elsewhere.

You have people in and aroud you that will be proud of you no matter what you do whether you make it in or not!

@anom you will do great no matter what use this as somethign to motivate you rather than destroy you.

I’m heartbroken. I really wanted you to get accepted. When God keeps closing a door is because there’s something definitely better for you.

@anom, I have been in your corner for the last two cycles. I hate that you are going through this, but I believe you are a phoenix 🐦‍🔥.
You too will have stories to tell and many will be inspired by you. I’m proud of you, your grit, your determination and your incredible attitude. Hugs, prayers and well wishes from the Mid Mom! You’ll always be one of my favorites on this SAF.
