    Hold Status?

    State lists open as declines come through. Many don't get appointments until May, as the May 1st acceptance deadline seems to open up a lot of spots. Good luck.

    Howdy!

    Don't give up. My daughter got in after wait listed for our state. Many got appointments in May last year. The deadline to accept is May 1, and so those with appointments to several academies have to decide by then. Spots open to NWL at that time.

    How to improve chances and chances now?

    Definitely improve your GPA. Do some service work. Work on what you do for the fitness test. No one can tell you how competitive you are, and it varies from state to state.

    Why the hate?

    As some say, "KP is the easiest to get into...and the hardest to stay in." It might be a little easier than the other academies (12% acceptance rate vs 8% for other academies), but it is definitely hard to stay at. My Daughter is there now, asa plebe. 18.5 credit hours first trimester, now into...

    LOA but no nomination

    Do you play a sport? When DD applied they told her if she didn't get a nom, the coach would work on getting her one. She got one anyway, as she wanted to do it all herself.

    This sort of thing doesn't keep me up at night, but...

    I personally am proud of all three of my girls, in whatever they do. Daughter 1 got a full ride plus stipend to study mechanical engineering and is in the engineering honor society. Daughter 2 is at USMMA. Daughter 3 still in high school. But to say one is better than another just because one...

    Principal Appointee / NMMI Question

    DD got that letter, but an appointment ended up coming through. We were told we would have to go through the entire process again, except for the DODMERB because it is good two years. From what I understand, NMMI helps them through the process. We even told our congressman to keep her info on...

    Questions on CFA?

    DD was below on two things last year. She sent it to USMMA and it was fine. Apparently, if you are below minimum, they will make you test again. If you want to be more competitive, redo it. If all your other application criteria is excellent, you may get by without it. You are still early in...

    Seeking advice from setbacks/withdrawn MIDN, and all USMMA folks:

    I am a parent of your fellow plebe. Very proud of all the medical setbacks for how they handled the situation. In assessing where to go from here, you need to ask yourself, "what is my end game?" Is it something that will benefit by an excellent degree from KP? You were at the hall of...

    Tomorrow is the 10th day of Indoc

    I am anxious for that call as well. I haven't received any letters yet. Was hoping for SOMETHING by now. But this is what they signed up for. I almost don't like seeing the pictures; they look so tired. And the arm bands are so numerous!

    Sea year and sports

    If she is a holdover, it would only be for a week or less. Would she still only be able to do the kings pointer ship?

    Sea year and sports

    DD plays volleyball, and I am curious how sea year works if the team makes playoffs. It seems playoffs would run past the time scheduled to go to sea during both 3c and 2c years. Does anyone know how this would work?

    Fax down at NEX

    if you faxed orders in the last 6 weeks to NEX check to make sure they have your order. Apparently the fax has been down and due to a strike it was not repaired.

    Cornyn Reception

    Golfindad, are you going? DD decided to leave prom weekend early to go to this. We live near Galveston, so it's a bit of a trip, but certainly a nice honor!

    ReApplying after Denial

    Good luck! Be sure to have a plan....Improve ACT or SAT scores, take college classes, join ROTC.... stuff like that. You might be able to talk to someone at admissions to find out where you scored low and improve on that.

    Are all spots filled?

    Last I saw on forums, there were only three going to be offered Appointment from NWL. The first one to get NWL mentioned this, and accepted their Appointment. That leaves only two spots. If you were on HOLD, there is a possibility. I assume they will notify all the HOLDS once spots are filled.

    NWL - Got the call!

    Don't panic. You are fine! Several things to do ASAP are the TWIC card (do before passport because passport takes your original birth certificate). Download the medical and dental forms. If son hasn't had wisdom teeth out, make appointment ASAP. GET shot records and get a Tdap if not in last...
