Thank you Tbpxece this is good to hear. I will wait for the recruiter to respond and hope all goes well :-) It's encouraging to hear that there are other US Citizens in the military that were admitted having received their education outside the US!

Just curious whether anyone here knows whether a foreign accredited degree (a Canadian Bachelor's degree) will suffice for an American Citizen applying to the Navy's OCS? Most sites for OCS requirements just say "a four year degree" is needed but I did see one for a specific officer job that...

Ironic that we were just discussing this on our thread here - an official email was just sent to my DS saying this: "The Director of Admissions has closed the wait list for our Scholar Program and unfortunately we will not be able to tender you an appointment to the preparatory school program...

My DS hasn't heard anything either way.

Congrats to your DS on CGAS!!

My DS still hasn't heard anything about coming off the CGAS waitlist, so Plan B looks like the number one plan at this time :thumb:

Nothing here.

Maybe they get sent out at different times? It was from LT Rivera.

My son received this email an hour ago, subject heading, "CGAS Waitlist": Good morning! We are finally at a point where we can select students from the waitlist into the CGAS class. I am contacting the waitlist students to remind them of a few things to keep in mind in the following weeks: ·...

Not yet - for my DS anyhow. Fingers crossed!!

Not sure if you know about the Acronym List yet but here it is just in case :-) https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/the-acronym-list.11568/

Here's a list that will help with the varied acronyms on these forums: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/the-acronym-list.11568/

Here is another recent thread about this topic with some people saying they didn't have to renounce their second citizenship: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/dual-citizen-can-i-get-in.60342/

You are amazing to have dedicated yourself to this so completely. I'm sorry that it didn't happen this year. :( I must say that I think you'll be very successful in your life due to your spirit of resolve and your hard work - even if there are disappointments along the way.

My understanding from reading these forums (not from personal experience) is that you can definitely apply again and if your DD is considered for appointment the medical waiver process will start up again. It's only halted for now due to the TWE - not forever.

That is very encouraging and positive to hear! Thank you for this encouragement - I'll show your post to my DS too :)

Sorry about the TWE. Your DS certainly set up excellent options for next year. His plan A.1 sounds like a fantastic door to have open!

My DS received the TWE email just now. No offer of prep or any other programs, just no to all for USNA this year. Plan B will be excellent - a good university with a program he wants, and much closer to home (we live over 3000 miles away) so while sad for him, long term I am happy I will get to...

Yep, same boat for my DS. I'm reading a book titled, "Embracing Uncertainty," about calmly facing the unknown. Good concepts about being at peace with not knowing what's going to happen...I'm not quite there yet :confused:

You are a poet on top of all your other abilities - a very multi-talented person and candidate!:thumb:
