When will this rumored wave materialize? Trying to model stoic patience for child while secretly chewing what's left of my cuticles. What makes it worse: child's classmate who daily brags he's already been admitted to USNA (NaNa NA NANa!), and gloats that he didn't even report his kinda serious disciplinary issue when he beat a classmate for mocking the IQ of his GF. (The other guy's jaw turned out not to be broken, it just bled a lot.) I realize life's unfair, this process is unknowable, jerks sometimes get ahead, this too shall pass (and other bumper stickers.) I tell my kid I'd rather see you at a JC than lying, bragging, or getting into fist fights. I'm not asking for this process to be all AmazonPrime, but dang, it's been a minute. And no, I'm not calling the Blue and Gold officer to tattle, that poor guy has his hands full. I'm just biting my tongue (and my cuticles) and...waiting. Praying. And waiting.
 
hmmm...I am not sure about the next wave of appointments but regarding serious disciplinary issues, my DD's high school counselors report serious infractions to the colleges. If it is not something the school did not suspend a student for then it might not rise to the level of something the student would report. At least that is the way it happens at my DD's school.

Haha! Your post provided some much needed comic relief to what is a very stressful time in our lives. Does it help to know you are not alone? I am right here with you trying to not ask my DD if she has "checked her portal" and hoping and praying and waiting.......
 
Waiting here as well. Back-up plan in place, which is an outstanding plan. Praying.

Best wishes to all of those still waiting.
 
Yep, same boat for my DS. I'm reading a book titled, "Embracing Uncertainty," about calmly facing the unknown. Good concepts about being at peace with not knowing what's going to happen...I'm not quite there yet :confused:

Chances are the BGO has no more clue than you at this point. I have four candidates who are 3Q with one or two noms, all who are waiting. I know nothing more than they regarding how it will turn out.

Ditto!
 
The clock is ticking and it is getting very hard to maintain confidence. DS already has great plan B and C but it will be hard for him to deal with the rejection from USNA if it happens. Trying to simply be as supportive and encouraging as possible

I feel your pain! This is crazy. Last year, my son was waitlisted, so I'm thinking the closer we get to April, the same thing will happen again. This is not easy!

"Tattling" to BGO about another candidate will get you no where. Frankly, I'm not sure I would respond if the parent of one candidate called me to "tattle" on another candidate. In my mind, it wouldn't reflect well on either. Beside, while I don't know anything about the situation that OP referred to, there are always two sides to every story , and I would defer to the the School if they think the situation is worth reporting.

Funny, BGO's really don't have our hands full now...we are waiting to see how this all shakes out, just like the candidates and parents. We really don't have much more information than the candidates, except whether the Candidate is 3Q or not (Don't ask, they are not going to tell !). I find myself checking BGIS every few days to see whether there has been a change in the Offers /Acceptances..
 
Ive already called thats kid’s blue and gold off.(just kidding). All same thoughts here in CA. Waitin seeing CPR in portal is better than the alternative. At least I keep tellin myself that.
 
I don’t understand why CPR’ers will be notified of something by 4/15 yet appointees aren’t required to accept appointment until 5/1. What if your DS/DD is #2 on a slate and #1 decides on 5/1 to decline?
 
That is when the wait list could come into play. By 4/15 at the latest CPR’s will become (a) appointees (b) TWE or (c) wait listed. Those waitlisted may not hear anything further (appointment or TWE) as late as late June. Went through this with both DS and DD.
 
Feeling everyone's anxiety her in CA! We are trying to stay positive but as the clock ticks, my DS's hope starts to diminish! Best of luck to everyone!

USNA actually makes more Offers than they have slots available, knowing that some will not accept the offer. Not all declines will result in an offer to another person.
