Last week, I received a waiver for a disqualifying condition from USMA and am now 3Qed. Does receiving a waiver impact my chances of appointment in any way, and what will the timeline be for hearing back from USMA? Also, if I am appointed, how will having needed a waiver affect my time at the...

I'm an applicant for the class of 2030 for USMMA, I have the entire appication submitted along with nomination, cfa and medical. I was under review for around a month since around mid December and 2 days ago on the 20th my status was changed to "Waitlisted". I was curious what that means...

Hello fellas, I’m a current senior right now with USNA as my top choice (along with USAFA and Army). I think I’m a decently strong candidate with a 3.6 HSGPA and 65 credit hours/an AA from my local CC/AP scores, 750 EBRW+690 math SAT. Physically, I passed the CFA and maxed a couple events (pull...

USAFA states they aim to release decision by April 21st. But that’s Easter Monday. Which is considered a holiday. And Good Friday tomorrow is also a holiday(or so I think. My school doesn’t have school on these days because I go to a catholic school) … do you think they will work on these days...

I’m just wondering if a private license looks good on an application. I’m 17 and I just achieved mine.

My DD is scheduled to take the SAT on Saturday. In order to do so, she'll have to miss her first game of the HS season. Her coaches haven't named captains yet and she's hoping to be named captain before the game. She’s certain this won't happen if she misses. Knowing her coaches (who repeatedly...

A few months ago I had weed for the first time and did it twice because a friend had gotten an edible, but I haven’t had any since then and that was my only time trying it, no other drug use, and I’m 17, would that be considered experimental or is that disqualifying off the get go

I received both an LOE and an LOA. I am also 3Q'd. I was wondering if I was in and if I could stop completing my applications to other schools?

First I would suggest the owners of this site set up a new topic area: APPOINTMENTS. While reading a wiki article I saw a GLARING falsehood that I observe in many general and specific articles online and continue to hear in the peanut gallery. In the bio of a late, full Admiral of the WWII...

Hello I am a current junior rising senior in the Fall of 2022 with hopes of attending the Naval Academy or any other service academies. I applied for both USAFA, and USNA's summer seminar and SLE and getting rejected in all 3 of them. I guess its kinda delusional for me to say I want to attend...

Will the academies ever give waivers to applicants if it limits their service selection upon graduation? For example, would they waive a condition that maybe cannot be considered for waiver to enter aviation but would be fine for other assignments? I understand many factors are taken into...

I am thinking about applying to a SA, more specifically USAFA. I've done quite a bit of research and know a lot about the SA experience because I used to live right outside of Annapolis. Now I live somewhere I have a much better chance of getting a nomination, because barely anyone here knows...

Good evening, today I started my application for USAFA. At the pre-candidate questionnaire it stated that you must be a US citizen to proceed. Previously, I thought that I just had to be a citizen prior to arriving at the academy. That being said, I can start my naturalization process October...

Good evening y'all! I was thinking about my application tonight, and I started to worry about whether I would be considered competitive for admission (I tend to overthink things and find myself worrying too much at times). Below is a summary of my profile: SAT: 1510 Sports: JV Track (11th...

I'm applying to USAFA and completed my application in early December but my med status is still not determined. I submitted my final remedial recently and it's under review by DoDMERB. I inquired to my admissions team about whether this would affect my application when it is reviewed and...

I am a junior in high school and I am interested in applying to the AFA, if I’m an otherwise good candidate, would my ADD meds or 504 plan prevent me from being accepted?

Hi! My name is Prasun Sapkota and I am sophomore at Panther Creek Highschool in Cary, NC. I have had an interest in the service academies especially the Naval Academy since a young age. As a sophomore, I have a 4.5 GPA out of 5 and 1490 on the SAT. I have also founded my own student-initiated...

Got a peculiar email along with 30ish others from LCDR Keith Watson saying I have until tomorrow night to accept my appointment. Also been on hold since maybe February or March. I didn't get to check the portal after I found out about the email, and now I can't login (perhaps because of May 1st...
