What is NWLSon has not heard anything today. 10 appointments reported on the appointment thread. If the long timers on this forum are correct then that translates to about 100 appointments went out on the portals this morning. I'm thinking its a good chance those are the NWL kiddos. I don't have a good feeling about son still with candidate status, but whatever happens it is what it is I guess.
National Waiting List usually 100-150 get selected from this pool? If I am correct, correct me if I’m not. She was assuming these appointments that came out today are those 100-150. Pretty good educated assumption in my opinion.What is NWLSon has not heard anything today. 10 appointments reported on the appointment thread.

I wonder if any prep academy offers came out today. Let me know if you know if some have or not.
You're sort of correct. Actually all 3Q candidates with a nom go on the NWL. After the slates, presidential noms, ROTC noms,etc (sort of) are resolved, they must by law take the top 150 still on the NWL. After that they are free to select anyone else they want from the NWL, regardless of where they rank, to round out the class.National Waiting List usually 100-150 get selected from this pool?

You don't know if you are on the NWL I don't believe. I'm not sure how they list where these kids are slated if one of the 150 picked. It cannot be to the congressman. It's all confusing to me. But what I've read is all kids with noms go on the NWL if they didnt win the slate. At this late point in the game you would assume all slates are selected, so just waiting on them to pick the top 150.
Somewhere I read that admissions was tasked with having at least 50% come in completely medical qualified as pilots. My DS would need a waiver for "asthma" which he doesn't really have in the sense that he has ever had an asthma attack or used a nebulizer, a couple of times he's had a bad upper respiratory infection and a symptom has been that he wheezed so he was prescribed an inhaler, now he's DQ'd. But he also needs lasix to fix his vision, which eye doc says he's an excellent candidate for correcting to 20/20. DS was flown by the USAFA on an official visit called the Falcon Visitation Experience. He was one of only 125 kids in the nation selected to attend. Yet here we sit, waiting and at this point today, not at all hopeful, personally. And I blame the DQ and his eyes.
.... Yes God, I hear you Sir, I understand my son will be where You want him. It is completely out of our control and I must accept that.

They actually do a lot of this in parallel, but you can use my description as a mental model. So someone who is already in the top 150 on the NWL might be "deferred" to get charged to this source, even though they would be the slate winner for their congressional district, so they can pick up someone else they want from that slate (just a hypothetical example). Think of it as a moving jigsaw puzzle. That's why I always say you never know where someone is charged, even if you know who nominated them.
