    Wait List - How does it work?

    Smith56, Don't you have another thread that says you are a junior and you are waiting to hear about the STEM program? The wait list we are referring to here is for entering into the academy and yes, the letter my DS received was that 70-120 candidates are on the wait list.

    TChase...Good luck to your DS!! My...200!! Looks like this "BOAT" is crowded! :shake: We were told 70-120 were on the waitlist, but whether it is 70 or 200 is irrelevant at this point. My DS has finally realized that there still is a glimmer of hope. The door hasn't been COMPLETELY shut. And...

    Anyone else still waiting out there?

    Yes, a month ago my DS contacted admissions and they said they were still busy with the selection process...and that is all that they could say except that they were going very slowly, since they were nearing the class size limit. My DS wrote his RO on Monday to ask where he stands (NWL...

    Anyone else still waiting out there?

    I guess my frustration is that we have NEVER got an email or letter...nothing....ever. So is my DS on the wait-list? Is he ahead of those who have been told they are on the wait list? I would have appreciated at least SOME communication. He had his application completed Sept. 1. At any...

    Anyone else still waiting out there?

    How unfortunate that a forum that is supposed to be helpful, has turned into this. I think we all can understand the frustration that is felt in this process. It is many years of ALOT of work, MANY service hours, MANY sleepless nights for all of the young men and women to achieve their dream...

    Yes, USNA is all my DS has dreamed of and worked so hard for as well. So the wait list to him meant "almost" making his dream come true... and "almost" grasping the brass ring. :frown: It has been a difficult week. He has a great plan B, but nothing to him is better than plan A.. Good luck!

    I do not have any "inside" information, and maybe there is no "order" to letters being sent..but my DS received his "wait list" letter last week. In it, it stated that USNA admissions had made their 1300 offers of appointment. 70-120 were put on the wait list and no more offers would be made...

    turned down congressional appointment

    My DS received his wait list letter. The letter stated that admissions had completed making their 1300 offers of appointment, with a class size of 1190 being the target. It also stated that now they will wait until the May 1st deadline to see how many offers are declined before they can...

    turned down congressional appointment

    Wouldn't that slot be given to a candidate on the NWL at this point?

    Don't have any answer for you. I just know that my DS's shows a blue "7" next to transcripts.

    Anyone else still waiting out there?

    Kiaserwill, I hope the best for you since it sounds like you have up some incredible opportunities for this chance. My DS too has never received any correspondence whatsoever...not even a NWL letter. Sometimes I wonder what that means since I see on another thread that some are showing they...

    Anyone else still waiting out there?

    Extremely quiet in MN for my DS as well....3 weeks ago my DS contacted his RO and he stated that there is still a chance for an offer of admission, but that admissions is moving extremely slow as they near the class size limit. He said that he would let us know as soon as he knows. So we sit...

    Freaking Out

    I agree. Make sure it is what you really want to do. I hear of so many who accept their appointments, only to quit. Those slots cannot be refilled. And my heart breaks for those who get the dreaded TWE that would give anything to have that slot. Congratulations on your appointment. But...
