That were waitlisted the first go round? Just wondering if i could ask a few questions of you.

Do you apply for a nomination from the same member of Congress from your hometown or the MOC for the place you live at college? I am just asking because it could help if the college town is less competitive than the home district.
My DS was an April TWE last year and, after a year of college and NROTC, now prepared to enter Class of 2023.That were waitlisted the first go round? Just wondering if i could ask a few questions of you.
What were your stats compared to HS and college. Did you go to a state college? Did you take the SAT/ACT again? How did your essays and personal statement change?Waitlisted for class of 2022. Went to college. Appointment for the class of 2023. Capable of answering questions.
Ask your Regional Director what specifically you can do to improve your package in the coming year. You may also want to talk to your BGO. Don't guess. Don't assume. If you don't know what held you back, you can't "fix" it and, until you do, your chances of admission don't increase
mcfamilyof4--I reached out to my BGO to inform him of my desire to reapply, and he had some insight for the process the second go around. After about a month I reached out to my admissions counselor before opening up a new application. Received great information from admissions regarding class schedule to be as competitive as I could be for the class of 2023.thanks @nonnahs33 : after you were waitlisted did you reach out to anyone to see what your "weakness" was in your application so that you could focus on that area while in college? like CFA score or better recommendations from professors for example? or better standardized scores?
Im not sure if this it true, but I was told I couldn't receive my residency unless I lived at my current address for a full calendar year. Nomination was received from the same MOC. Also was encouraged from admissions to reach out to all nomination sources.Do you apply for a nomination from the same member of Congress from your hometown or the MOC for the place you live at college?

Infiniduck--State College. High school was mostly A's and A-. College so far has been all A and a B+. Retook the ACT twice and got better scores--focusing on the areas I could improve the most. CFA improved a lot from strength training over summer. I think I put on about 20lb over the course of 4 months. Cut that back a bit once I started running the miles again and I feel much more physically prepared. Extracurriculars from high school were hard to improve upon. Student government(body president), 3 sport varsity and team captain for 2 of those. State championship and all CIF for those sports since junior year. I played baseball at the College after talking to the coach, but settled to not burn a year of eligibility during the season, by doing a red shirt year. This allowed for me to get a job and pay my rent. Living independently from my family and taking the college courses definitely had an impact on my personal statement. I also used the experience of being turned down after being waitlisted as a point in my essay, something along the lines of being pushed down, getting back up, dusting yourself off, and continuing the fight. The personal statement changed 3 times over the course of the semester as I was learning a lot from my english class. Hope this helps.
