    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    Well, the TWE came tonight. DD is holding up well, expectations have been adjusted by seeing all of the amazing applicants who were turned down earlier. She has some great options that she can now get excited about, not sure if she'll stay civilian or see something missing and try again...

    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    We're traveling to DC this week for spring break and we have a tour appointment on Friday am in our MOC's office. If DD is still CPR by then, I'm threatening to ask "So, before we leave, is there anything you'd like to tell her while she's here?... anything?" :)

    Congrats to you and your son! You haven't heard anything from Amash's district, have you? DD is still CPR.

    Finally Got the E-mail

    Oh no! I've said this before but I am so invested in reading these appointments and denials, it's like you're my kids' friends or something. Well, as far as I know DD is still clear but we all see how fast that can change. You won't need luck, anyone who works this hard at something and was...

    Finding out about SAs

    DD will be doing the same thing at her school IF she gets an appointment. No family history of SA's and no one at her school for decades, at least. She went to our MOC's Service Academy Open House a couple years ago and heard about STEM camp, applied and was turned down so she set her jaw and...

    Awaiting Appointment/Denial

    Wow, so this isn't a flood but it's definitely been a steady trickle the last couple days. :eek3:

    Awaiting Appointment/Denial

    Dang, so sorry to hear this! I was also following you more closely since I knew you were from MI. We're in MI-03 and DD is still (as far as I know) CPR today. AROTC gave you a date certain? I'll pray for some good news on Thurs for your DS.

    Appointee limit per school?

    Same here, we had to lead the counselors through every single step of the process (with much help from this forum!). It's weird, DD goes to a fairly large private school but just down the road there is a large public school who sends kids all the time. Hopefully, her little adventure will get...

    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    This forum is so different from the other college admission forums, very heavy on the encouragement of others or their children and very light on the bragging about how special their kid is. I'm following stories here in a way I never do on the U of Michigan or Northwestern boards. To be...

    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    Yep, same with DD as those above. Not waiting on a waiver, just CPR-land for way too long. Those are very impressive stats, hard to tell what goes on in the black box of admissions.

    Finally Got the E-mail

    Our family is heading to Wash DC for spring break next week. My daughter wants to show her 3 little brothers around Annapolis when we're there and maybe see if she can say hi to her detailer from NASS. I asked her "so, you're sure you want to head over there even if you hear some bad news in...

    Duh, "about them being their plan A schools", obviously.

    Finally Got the E-mail

    Welcome. Those who are still CPR (or have DD's and DS's who are) would value you sharing any scraps of info you feel free to share such as Congressional district, etc... My daughter said that just last week after talking to friends about her U of Michigan and Rensselaer acceptances. "I feel...

    Chances For Navy with no Athletics?

    It wou lt would help but it's not just for the physical fitness that they like to see sports. It's the teamwork, leadership and time-management skills that playing a sport gets you. Just remember, they're probably going to see an app similar to your levels of academics and EC's, but with a...

    Finally Got the E-mail

    I don't think it was most, certainly some. Hard to tell about all of them but a few even had multiple nominations.

    Finally Got the E-mail

    This is our first time through this and some of the more sobering, realistic posts were hard to argue with but; if the class is pretty well rounded-out and they're sending out twe's, and emails are super easy to send in big batches, isn't it possible that the board may be seeing something...

    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    I can't see how anyone would have that info, the admissions board plays it pretty close to the vest.

    2021- One month of CPR left!!!

    All we know is that, after weeks of a steady trickle of appointments and a few TWE's, last Thurs at 7:15am there was quite the flood of TWEs. Apparently not a repeat this week (at that time, at least) of that action.

    When will I hear?

    How do you guys know every nominated candidate in your district? Very small pool or very open nomination process?

    Class of 2021 USNA Appointment Thread

    The problem is, since this board doesn't represent the pool as a whole (maybe 10%, I've heard), not seeing our district here doesn't really mean it hasn't happened and since there can be multiple appointments from the same district, seeing it here wouldn't be the end of the line. So, we wait...
