As May 1 approaches I can't help but wonder not only about the percentage of people who will accept their appointments, but what percentage of kids stayed on the waitlist. I would guess that not very many said "no thanks". My DD asked to stay on it. Others?

The other day my hopes were barely flickering. Today with another no show by the dreaded TWE I am thinking there may be at least a slight hope. I feel so bad for those who received the dreaded TWE this week and pray that everyone makes the most of their plan B (and loves it!) How many are...

In trying to answer the question of how big the wait list usually is, I went searching for the Common Data Set which is where you find that info for colleges. I was unable to find a CDS for USNA . I thought all colleges were required to report a CDS. I have seen posts about previous years...

MOC Academy Coordinator called today to say they had just talked to Admissions and that a large percentage of offers had gone out. Once they get an idea about their yield they will round out the class and extend more offers.

I finally broke down and called our Senator to ask what kind of a slate they submitted. I found out they had a principal nomination with the rest unranked. They also told me lots of bonus information. In addition to the principal nominee, a couple other candidates have already been offered...

Is anyone else having problems logging in to their candidate information page on the admissions webpage? DD keeps getting an error message and after switching operating systems yesterday on the computer I am hoping it is not something on our end.

I've seen several posts where people have been asked to send in their 1st semester grades. So far my DD has not. Would it still be a good idea to send them in since she has all A's and is taking 8 classes instead of the usual 6 that seniors take, and since she is in lots of AP's and has Calc and...

Just curious if the RDs are part of the Admissions Board or if the Board is its own entity. Are they all full-time NA employees? or does the school use part-time workers to look at applications like some schools do that have a huge number of applications?

I know that BFEs are sent out as decisions are made, but are TWEs also mailed before the notification deadline, or does the USNA wait until the end of the process to mail those out in case they still need to take people from the pool for some reason? DD got her final Q today from DoDMERB and I...

DD was checking her DoDMERB status and we have a question. Her DoDMERB page shows the following. Date Event Code(s) 24-NOV-14 Application Added 24-NOV-14 Date applicant entered into DoDMERB system 21-JAN-15 Actual date of exam 28-JAN-15 Date exam received at DoDMERB 28-JAN-15 Medical...

I'm curious what size area, or how many people, each one handles and I have tried every possible wording combination in Google, Bing, Yahoo etc but been unable to find the answer. BGO lists are easy to find, but not AO lists.

LOAs are almost like appointments before some is 3Qd (or nominated). Are appointments ever done that way, or do they not look at someone until they have been 3Qd? Is a candidate putting themselves in a bad position by waiting for something like being medically qualified when they have all the...

What districts have heard back and which ones haven't? 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- 8- 9- 10- 11-

Does anyone know if the NA has even let it be known exactly how they score the CFA or how they weight each section? D told me last night that she thought she did 40something feet in the basketball throw which according to the tables is about average. She knows she did 9 point something in the...

Would it be possible for a sticky thread to be created with a list of the pertinent abbreviations, what they stand for, and their significance (where applicable)? I've figured out MOC=Member of Congress NOM=Nomination LOA=Letter of Assurance (important because it means you're in if you...

D had her DOD eye exam today and "passed with flying colors" according to the Doctor. Because I don't know a lot about the system I was worried (although less worried after you nice people answered my questions). One eye was 20/20 and the other was something like 20/100 but easily correctable to...

D is hoping for the USNA. Now she is talking about doing NROTC if she doesn't get in there. Is it too late to get a scholarship application in and have a real chance? Will she have any advantage (at least in speeding up the application process) if she already has her fitness assessment and DOD...

Do the Naval Academy teams only have scholarship players on them? My D plays volleyball and has been team captain since her sophomore year (and MVP) but isn't really being recruited. Is it possible to make a team as a walk-on or is everyone a recruited athlete? Would it help the appointment...

Our D went to the NA Summer Seminar and loved it and has now applied. So far she has only heard from our Senator and she thought the interviews went well. She is waiting to hear from the BNG officer and just this week got the DOD form in the mail for the eye and physical exams. She...

During D's MOC interview the interviewer noticed that she had been to summer seminar and asked her about it. She said she loved it, and then he said- "good, then you've been through some of what you will go through during Plebe Summer." She responded with "well, I'm sure PS is much more...
