    Will I get accepted

    Not challenging the methodology or purpose, which you keep defending. Just looking at the simple facts and statistics. There are absolute seats set aside for categories: recruited athletes, women, minorities, ROTC, Presidential, college reapps, prep school transfers, and enlisted. Out of...

    I maybe misinformed, but the statistics quoted in these articles do have some merit. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/09/sports/ncaafootball/navy-midshipmen-army-football.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/opinion/nocera-the-military-prep-school-scam.html...

    Will I get accepted

    From reading tons of information out on the web and posts here, the majority of prep school appointments are reserved for "a red shirt" year for the D1 athletes and a method to help back fill the required quotas. If you fall in either category you have a great shot at the prep route. If you do...

    Question about Denied?

    DS bought the farm. Portal status changed overnight from "Candidate" to "Turned Down". It now states "Turned Down by USNA". I guess that latest update sounds better???? Email your admission counselor. What areas could you improve?

    Turned Down Medically

    Sorry, DS got medically DQed as well. They must have enough qualified candidates without medical issues. It seems the waivers are few.

    Finally Got the E-mail

    DS was DQ'ed for ACL reconstruction in the fall. Is that waiver-able at anytime?

    Finally Got the E-mail

    Sorry to hear. DS got the notice this morning as well. Just curious, was anyone else in this wave DQ'ed for medical? Good luck to all.

    Does a DQ affect your application strength?

    Read the thread "waiver wait" for more detail. But the short answer is yes. DS was told directly by admissions of one SA that he will be penalized on his admission evaluation since he is DQ status pending a waiver. When all other indicators are fairly equal, they will choose the other...

    Waiver wait

    Thanks for your support, encouragement, and shared experiences. That is extremely helpful. He had an ACL reconstruction in this past fall. He is being released to full activity 4/1. DODMERB has that information. It seems like your DS has a great plan. I did not know of campus based...

    Waiver wait

    USMA was actually plan C. Plan A and B are the other two SA's. Although one SA stated months ago the medical DQ will be held against him when all other qualifications are considered near equal. The medical DQ definitely skews the admission process and review. So plan D is college with...

    Waiver wait

    DS has been in PWR/S for a couple months now for knee surgery. Yesterday, he received a very professional correspondence in his portal from the USMA that he will remain disqualified. His file is now closed. They will not pursue a waiver for him. Good luck in your future endeavors. If at a...

    Ohio 2021 Nominations

    DS received a nomination for the USNA, the USAFA, and the USMA from our representative. He received a letter from Portman stating that since he held congressional nominations already he would not be nominating him. He never received any correspondence from Brown at all. Is that odd?

    National Pool and Medical Waivers

    Great question. DS is that exact boat (pun intended). He has been sitting in pending waiver submission/review for months. Do all three SA's proceed the same way?
