Start working on your essays now, your resume is off to the right start. Obviously, as others have said, none of us are admissions who can tell you your fate. Stand out with your essays. Uniquely show through the experiences you’ve had how you’ll be an asset to the CG and the Academy, don’t...

I was not told this, but I suspect they have not taken any off the waitlist yet. Could be wrong. Also the number 20 is a prediction contingent upon how many of the 30 conditional appointments receive waivers. It is likely more than 20 will be pulled off, but it’s all very much still up in the...

I was in your shoes last year, so I feel y’all. I spoke with admissions yesterday, so I may be able to provide a little insight. The last 30 or so waivers were processed yesterday, and will be finished Thursday and Friday. There are about 50 slots left in the 2025 class, so at least 20 will be...

How does one go about acquiring an extension? Do I contact them, or do they contact me?

I'm in the same position. From what I understand, you have to be fully recovered and discharged from PT, surgeon, etc., before they'll even consider granting your waiver. So say, for example, you reach said recovery point, and they already denied your waiver, you could appeal the Academy's...

Major is definitely one of the more important aspects of the puzzle. When I spoke with CAPT Fredie, he said Mechanical Engineering was the most popular. So, while you have a stellar record, you’re competing against the top of the top for one of only a very select few seats. Someone else just had...

It’s basically an extended waitlist leading up to Day 1. They’ll first email alerting you that the waitlist is closed, and that if you’d like you can opt into a short list that should something happen super last minute you’ll essentially be ready to go in a blink of an eye. Understandably, it’s...

I was deferred then waitlisted last year, reapplied this year, and was accepted. I was also a recruited athlete. I'm happy to answer any questions I can. A shortened timeline: April 1: Waitlisted May 1: Committed to backup June 5: Waitlist closed, added to shortlist in case something opened up...

This afternoon I'm pretty sure I happened to notice this thread had 90K views, but as of now, it's up to 108K... ya'll been busy

She is usually very good about replying, but if you don't hear by Tuesday, I would follow up. I was in contact with her on Monday, and she mentioned she would be out of the office. You might also email Mr. McMunn, I received notice of a waiver initiation from him.

So sorry to hear this!! I understand how difficult this is but don't forget when one door closes, another opens. God has a plan. Good luck to your DD on her future endeavors!

I agree, very helpful book!! And same goes for the ACT version. Other favorite resources for ACT that were game-changers: For the Love of ACT Science By Michael Cerro, Erika Metzler Reading and English books, and College Panda for Math. Best of luck all!

In general, this is true because classes are primarily made up of direct appointments, but reapplicants had the opportunity to attend AIM in person, and others attended in-person cadet for a day or bears day. I'm not sure how the number of accepted reapplicants will compare to previous years...

Yes, your DS needs to report. There’s a link on the left side of the DODMERB website (COVID-19 info for applicants) that should answer your DS’s questions and explain the procedure.

I’m not the right person to answer this one, but I remembered this thread and thought it may help you. I believe it was in a day one packet.

This year the deadline for RA was extended, so that may play a factor. Then again, EA results were released a month earlier so you never know. Last year people started to hear around Feb 21. Best of luck!

50% seems high. Last year was around 20% with 70 appointments reported here and around 350 appointments tendered overall. And I don’t believe everyone who was offered an appointment in EA has joined the Facebook group.

First and foremost, congrats! I’ll do my best to take a stab at it, but I know not the secrets of admissions. Majors definitely vary in competitiveness as there are a certain number of spots in each major based on equipment limitations, building space etc. and some are more popular than others...

I received notification of my appointment 11/11 and then my BFE (appointment package) on 12/15 (shipped on 12/11) with travel orders and acceptance forms inside. Because your DD was notified after they went out, she’s likely in a second batch. But, if she doesn’t receive it soon I would follow...
