Read a post here from a BGO stating that admission will not re-look at applications once reviewed. Is this accurate? The reason I ask is that my DS had most of his application done back in July (SAT, transcript, JROTC nom, etc) but his application was on Incomplete status. Since then, he had...

At what point does the application status change from "Incomplete" to CPR? DS confirmed that all required recommendations are showing received in the portal, but the application status is still showing as incomplete. Anxious to see this status change in case this is a prerequisite to a waiver...

Received a correspondence from USMA that a waiver has been requested. Haven’t received the formal AMI request, but sent the supporting medical records to the email listed in the correspondence. Is this the part where a lead time can be months before the waiver authority (USMA in this case)...

How is this measured for the purpose of DODMERB? DS is little over 5'9" and the exam report says 33" which is "slightly out of range" according to dodmerb...

DS had a mild case of Kawasaki disease while traveling internationally when he was 9yo. He was treated while out of the country and his follow up in US confirmed the success of the treatment. Just received a DQ notice with code D102.30. How do I actually start the waiver process or is this...

DS confused by the status shown in dodmets: Currently Your Case is "Incomplete-Closed" Your DoDMETS case is Incomplete-Closed as of 8/30/2023. DS completed both the medical and eye exams. Is this the expected status after both exams?

DS submitted his application with all information filled in including the personal essay. The application lists several teachers and school officials for recommendations. The application status shows “incomplete” at this time. Is this due to pending recommendations? Also, is it possible to...

DS completed one when WP opened the medical three weeks ago, but haven’t seen indication that USNA is initiating it. Is there anything DS needs to do?

After finally submitting his USNA application, the status shows as "incomplete" even though he filled out all sections including emails for recommendations and pasting in his essay. Is this because not all recommendations have been submitted? He can no longer "Open" it, but there is now the...

DS has a DoDMERB appointment coming up. He’s is still a minor; would a parent have to accompany him to the appointment? Also, how long will the appointment take?

My DS applying to USNA and USMA. I just scheduled the medical exam for USMA. Would that be good enough for USNA too or will I have to schedule a separate one when prompted to do so?

Sorry for the dumb question, but, under the Recommendation section, it asks for Extra Curricular Official. Who would this be? I thought it might be the guidance counselor, but there is already one for it.

I'm really confused by this even after reading various materials. In the WP portal, there is a "Pre-Started Request Letter" addressed to the Secretary of the Army for service-connected nomination including for candidates who are in JROTC. According to the "letter," DS to simply check the...

Just before SSK was opened, DS received an email stating "...to compete for Letters of Assurance (LOA) (Similar to "Early Admission"), submit official SAT or ACT scores, complete your interview, and provide official 6-semester transcripts by mid-July." I understand all others, but what is the...

DS is attending NASS this week before the SLE next week. He just took his CFA and I think he has passing score for WP. In the WP candidate portal, one can request transfer of CFA score from Navy (or AFA), but, reading various past posts, WP still requires recorded videos for pull-ups and...

I am reading that USMA applicants can apply for a nomination from the secretary of the army if he/she is in Army JROTC (among other qualification criteria). I don’t see similar nomination source for USNA or USAFA. Is this unique to USMA?

What is the best way to travel from USNA to USMA? My DS will have to travel alone for back-to-back NASS and SLE sessions.

My DS just received email today with an offer for a spot in SLE. In the email, it says "You should be receiving an email with login instructions to the West Point SLE Portal." He checked the inbox and spam folders, but there is no such e-mail. Does this normally come on the same day?

Once the application is submitted, is it normal that I can't access it again using the "Resume a previously saved form" option? When I click on it and enter the credential I used previously, I get "Sorry, we have no match for this email and password" error message.

My DS is a junior and will be applying to USNA. He's a baseball player who has a couple of offers from NAIA/D3 schools and a couple of D1 schools keeping their eyes on him. Obviously, he would like to play for Navy, but his path hasn't crossed with USNA coaches yet. He has reached out to USNA...
