    Attention hold candidates

    Moving on I have been following this site hoping that my DS would get an appointment, but as I noted above, he moved on with plan B awhile back. In March he received a letter saying he would likely know by April 10th. When that didn't happen, he checked out on the academy. I told him not to...

    Attention hold candidates

    Yawn... The USMMA acceptance process has dragged on for so long it has almost has become a curiosity to my DS on what would happen. That combined with the recent unfortunate events at the academy (poison gas in the dorms, unpunished cheating by midshipmen, sudden unexplained leadership changes...

    I agree your DS is very well qualified. The statistics do show diversity is big advantage though. Sorry it didn't work out for your DS.

    2016 USNA Mailbox Stalkers Club...

    Is it worth the effort? After watching the USNA selection process turn out so poorly for so many excellent candidates, I would have a hard time recommending the USNA as a way for young people wanting to serve their country. It seems the USNA has lost its way. I am starting to believe the...

    Conclusions

    It has already been documented that the academy has admitted athletes with SAT scores in the 350 range. You were right though - they were not able to get it done.

    AP Credits?

    Get us to paying Fellow parents - AP credits are a bargain. Even if your child has an appointment locked up, you never know what may happen down the road.

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    TWE Today DS got a TWE today. The bar is set really high this year. DS had a 1360 SAT (690 CR 670 Math), good grades, lots of AP classes, captain of his wrestling team, band student of the year, great CFA, congressional nom, DODMERB qualified, etc. He is disappointed, but hopes to hear from...

    What does this letter mean??

    What a waste of postage... One or two VP appointments this year - hundreds of letters going out on this subject. If this happened in my private company, there would be HE** to pay. No wonder the government is going broke.

    Anyone still waiting out there?

    Wow - 20,602 applications! Got to wonder what the USNA considers to be an application? Does that mean that many actually get a candidate number and complete the entire application?

    A Call to Action

    Fix it! I'm not so sure this is just another case of a malcontent. The letter is well written and the allegations are serious. It does certainly appear the academy lacks strong and effective leadership. Service academies have the same issues that all colleges have - note the recent issues...
