I agree with all of Maplerock messages above. I would also add, that while "The published Class Profile is really a good indicator of the "secret sauce" Admissions is looking at, and I suspect it doesn't change all that much.", that's not the whole story as there are plenty of people that are in...

much ado about nothing over the weekend

Yes, I think NWL is also in the next 2 weeks, as looking at last year announcements, there were a large number of appointees in early March from the largely populated states (CA, NY, TX, some NJ), and some of those were in the same districts or states from which appointments came in Nov/Dec/Jan...

I haven't converted it to odds, but I did see that the majority of people received TWEs on March 31/April 1 last year, 2 weeks before April 15th. The ones that still haven't heard at that point were put on the waiting list and some didn't hear back until early/mid June as to whether they were...

There are many LOA recipients still waiting and working towards their goal. Look at the list from last year: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/class-of-2020-usna-appointment-thread.46706/page-45#post-496210 Only 7 appointments out of the 128 appointments last year were...

right.. or they are double checking our e-mails so that when they send out one mass e-mail they don't get to join ranks with Columbia University. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/nyregion/columbia-grad-school-acceptance-letters.html?_r=0 just kidding

I agree. Just more communication all around would be better, even if it's via the portal update. Perhaps if enough people voiced concerns USNA admissions would listen and make the life's easier for the next class? Particularly since civilian colleges do communicate much more often and make you...

Yeah... I agree. Not feeling great about this either, but have a decent plan B also. And of course would reapply next year if I don't get appointed this year. I have two nominations too but I've seen people with three nominations last year not get appointed.

thanks for the update. Looking at several years of prior USNA announcements/ press releases by Congressman Pittenger and Senator Tillis some appointments came in late December, early to mid January, and some as late as at the end of March. Probably depends on the strength of candidates...

I am also in the same boat, except with every passing week think that plan B will be put in action sooner rather than later.

wow! congratulations! also glad to see a new set of appointments rolling in! hoping NC slate is getting looked at soon

Yes, if you haven't heard from Burr's office on being nominated, then it's too late then as the nominations to the Academy have been submitted. As far as appointments, I haven't heard anything either and I am hoping it's not a bad sign (although part of me thinks it is because so many people...

congrats! I received one as well (on the portal)

This is from an old post I found on this forum. I am not sure what RABS stands for.. I was just trying to figure out if a new score gets developed once the 7th semester grades are received/ reviewed and whether the file goes to the Board for the second time once the grades are received.

So just to make sure I understand the admission process and how the WCS gets calculated and then updated... "For USNA, the board, totally independent of nominations, commences meeting in late August, usually with the better of the completed records. The points of the record are already...

Hopefully nominations for Burr will be coming out soon.

For USNA, Burr's office sent an e-mail saying that he is no longer able to do interviews (challenges scheduling a new date), and will instead go through the selection process based on the paperwork submitted. So it will be sort of a desktop review I guess... They said the nominations will be...

That means that of the two senators (1 being with more seniority in Senate, and 2 being the junior senator), you received the nomination from senator no. 2)

He will be certainly be missed.. Condolences to his DS and the rest of the family

I think the auto-response note was written last year and not updated. They must have meant March 2017.
