As the title says, no nomination. DODMERB clear no waivers needed. Annapolis requested course descriptions in early Feb after they knew I didn't get a nom from my MOC's. Please tell me it's not common practice to drag people out to April 15th just to say no dice.

There's probably no good answer here, is this a potentially positive sign, or am I just waiting for the guillotine to come down in 30 days or so? Hate to be logical, but it seems that apps without a nomination would be cleared out pretty quickly. Admissions did ask for my complete HS course...

So DS did not get a nomination this year, and although he is still in the application process, he most likely will be a re-applicant next cycle. He is definitely a late bloomer in his sport, and his times have gone from above average to top 5-6% in the US this year. He does not quite have the...

So I am reading that the admissions board does not actually extend offers of appointment, they only make recommendations. Is this correct? If so, who actually makes the call?

So DS didn’t get a nomination this year and he’s not super upset about it, but just ready to move on. I know that things aren’t technically “over” but have to imagine the window is pretty much shut. I know you don’t have to have a nom for NAPS, etc but is there a breakdown of how many do? I...

I know this is probably a dumb question. All boxes are checked with the exception of nomination and DODMERB in the portal. In regards to the Jan 31 deadline, is this still considered complete, since those two options are outside of the control of the candidate?

Does anyone know if admissions sees subscores and if this can be a factor? A little background. DS did extremely well on the EBRW portion and scored a 720. The math, not so much. Peculiar thing is that the harder the subject matter was, the better he did. For example on heart of Algebra, he...

So hoping for a little insight/direction from the SAF experts on this one. DS has applied to Annapolis and everything is complete with the exception of DODMERB vision, so good to go there other than continuing to try and improve SAT math he has done all he can do (except pray). We're on a...

So apologies first, although prior military I was enlisted and have extremely limited value in the SA realm (still can't really figure out the nomination slate thing) and wanted to pose this question to the experts. So DS is finally meeting his BGO today for an informal chat. Other than a few...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/10/30/gen-eric-smith-hospitalized/ Latest reports indicate he had a heart attack.

Can't even add one....last thing needed to submit.

So after talking to alumni (we are in Hampton Roads, so they are everywhere) and meeting other families/applicants, DS seems to be on a different trajectory than others for the C/O 2028 cycle. I know everyone's journey is different, but just looking for some feedback. For clarity, I am prior...

So, DS has his # and access to the portal. Stats are strong except for his SAT, which he will be retaking in August. Should he wait until receiving a better score, or submit now and update when the scores come in? I know it's a rolling admission, so just looking to see what our best options are.

Hi, Although my DS will be applying for a nomination, we are already thinking it will take more than one time to gain admission. This is not to be defeatist, just a realization that we live in a very competitive district and probably need to get scores up a bit. With that being said, the...

So here's the deal. My DS and the SAT just don't mix. We've tried it all, strategies, test prep you name it. He does very well in school, A's and B's in everything (mostly A's) and even has a B+ in Pre-Calc and Chemistry. His SAT scores are pretty ugly. Just got the May 6th score and he was...
