DS was turned down in the portal. I would think that a TWE email would have come as well. Does that not happen anymore, or will this come later?

I know this may be anecdotal, but in everyone's experience does 4/15 bring a wave of appointments, denials, or both? DS is pending without a nomination, so he is already on thin ice. Just curious on thoughts if a candidate does not have an appointment or gets NAPS/foundation by 4/15, does that...

Does the blanks in the below screenshot mean that nobody has reviewed the file? I would think that the file would be reviewed in it's entirety, but obviously would not know. Maybe these are updated after the fact?

So, DS received a bill for his remedial. It's only about $189, and I know all of the instructions from DODMERB that the bill is supposed to go to them, but should I just pay it? I only ask because the whole process was a boondoggle. First we had to drive 2 hours for imaging, and the office...

I know this is a poll largely based on anecdotal evidence, but just curious to see people's thoughts. I only ask this because the incoming plebe profile does not really line up to the typical Annapolis admit that you generally see on the boards. For example, it would be easy to deduce that to...

Is anyone else having issues with FAFSA? I can't even get in, and tech support is virtually non-existent. Waited on the phone for an hour and 20 minutes and still didn't get through.

DS was tasked to do a remedial on mild scoliosis he had as a child. Exam was completed and sent to DODMERB on 18 December. Portal still says incomplete and no changes on the DODMERB website. Should he call them, or does this seem like a normal timeline considering the holidays?

Based upon what we have seen both in the forums and from other sources, it appears that Annapolis seems to desire re-applicants to attend a 4 year university versus a prep school. Is there a way to indicate that this decision was based upon finances when the time comes to apply again? I am...

I know the cutoff is 31 January, but in reality is it too late to submit? DS thinking he will do a prep year if he does not get into Annapolis or selected for NAPS the first go, but just want to make sure we have every option on the table.

DS checked yes for "chronic skin issues, eczema, etc." by mistake and now he can't go back. He had a mild skin issue aged 14 that the doctor said "might" be eczema, and treated with OTC cream and it never came back. Nothing along the lines of a chronic issue. Is there a way to change this...

Does it strike any of the experts present as weird that DS does not have a BGO assigned in the portal yet? He started his application as soon as he was assigned a candidate number back in the early summer and still nothing. Application is almost complete, scores have been sent...

For those that have asked about attending another CVW even though your candidate already attended the spring version, just wanted to add some feedback. We just returned from Annapolis over the weekend and all I can say is "wow"...the differences between the first weekend in the Spring and this...

Sorry for the 2nd question today. DS has reached out to his BGO with questions about recommendations ( he is home schooled so a couple of loose ends). Per the BGO, he doesn't even see my son in the "system" and asked if he has even started an application. Kind of shocked/surprised as DS...

I have read that it is not recommended to attend community college if you plan on being a re-applicant, but in looking at other college options for DS's freshman year, the costs are just not going to be possible for us even if we receive the financial aid package that is projected. Is this...

Does anyone have any feedback on what to put for PE/Coach, Guidance Counselor and EC activity contacts for recommendations? DS emailed admissions and received a relatively canned response from admissions, and we are still waiting for a response from his reply back.

Are you automatically assigned a BGO by the coordinator when you receive a candidate number, or is there something we need to do on our end?

I tried a search, but seems like any dope on this is >5 years old. Any insight on how often people even make it off the wait list? We are trying to delay scheduling other events for June in the hopes that an offer comes around, but time is getting a little thin. Any insight is really appreciated.

Didn't know this was a thing for NASS, only more for admissions. Anyone have experience with this? DS is worried if he doesn't opt out and then can't take the spot if it is offered last minute, it will look bad for him. After this and a turndown for Inspire and a BGO coordinator ghosting him...

Just curious, does anyone know if Plebes give feedback to admissions on how things went during CVW?

Hi All, DS is currently a junior and homeschooled. Unfortunately, we have reached the limit with our online academy (which has been a really good experience) and they don’t offer a couple of classes we need next year. In particular Spanish 4 is not available at all, and Physics is waitlisted...
