C/O 2019 Mailbox Stalkers

mail has come and gone....nothing.

Do you know if you are 3Q? If not, prep is an option.

DS would take it if offered for sure.
 
De-lurking, thank you all for your insight and sharing your experiences. We are not alone in our unhealthy mailbox habits, lol!
I should be CO19? Was just looking at CO18 threads to see how many got appointment in March/April and typed it wrong, oops.

DS is a HS Sr has an MOC nom, but was told he is in the national pool, as his slate was filled. Anyone else told that and gotten a BFE or TWE?

We've not heard anything from MOC or anywhere else so we don't know where DS stands except still in the hunt. Good Luck!
 
It wasn't until I said this to my GF that I realized how true it is: stalking and posting to these forums and hearing from everyone has been helping my sanity. Sometimes it feels like the only news I can hear at this point is bad news, but then I read through these posts and remember I'm not the only one still on the roller coaster. This page is not only a question-answer page, but a support group, willing to take in anyone and listen and advise. Thank you to everyone and good luck tomorrow as mailbox stalking recommences.

My update is like many of yours: no news is good news. I'm waiting to hear from plan B(USMMA). My roommate received his TWE to USMA today, he's pretty bummed about that. At my school we've had 1 girl accepted to USAFA, USCGA, NROTC, and received a USNA prep slot(accepted USAFA); one boy accepted USNA over USAFA; another boy to USNA; and another to USMA. Seems like it's a lucky year to apply.. I'll keep everyone updated!

Just out of curiosity... why is it that USNA release denied letters at such a small rate?

After going through this process last year, many that were "still on the roller coaster" received last minute wait list offers......many by email on April 15th. In my opinion the reason they wait so long is to see if they get any rejected offers. They keep a pool of "possible candidates" to fill any of those spots that then become open. Like I said, only my opinion based on last year.
 
Congrats Nollie! 2nd ride was the charm for many of you. I was both touched and floored when I was reading the stories from last year this time.
I think the lesson is have plan B and C ready to go and DS seeing those paths as a good ones.
We are in mailbox stalking for plan B and C too, since USNA is 1st choice, we couldn't use their binding early decisions. Financially Navy vs Plan B&C are huge difference since DS is planning on being a D1 athlete (not blue chip) and ROTC, D1 and Engineering are too much, in my opinion. He handles all the applications, but we need to manage the finances.

I trained the dog to bark when the mail truck comes. ;)

Love the dog part! Hope it's plan A for you!
 
I don't know if it's me, the nature of the posters on this forum, or the way it is every year, but it sure seems like a number of college reapplicants get in on their second try. I wonder if the USNA almost encourages one year of college before attending USNA.
 
I have seen stats that 1/3 of the entering class is reapplicants for USNA. Not sure if that includes Naps as they already applied once? But it does seem very tough to get in on the first try.

I believe it's more around a quarter. The vast majority of those that have post-HS education are NAPS or Foundation. As far as regular college reapplicants go, only <100 total are appointed and roughly 70-80 accept. From what I understand, as a regular college applicant you are in your own category and are thus scored amongst your fellow college applicants. Once your WCS is given, then you're thrown in with your slate and the highest WCS wins the slot. Typically, college applicants are all viewed fairly quickly after deadline and, if the clear slate winner, notified fairly quickly. A classmate of mine and I were notified of appointment within 2-3 weeks of January deadline.
 
From the 2018 thread
http://www.usna.edu/PAO/documents/PlebeProfile_Class_of_2018.pdf

The Class of 2018 includes 342 (29%) from college and post-high school preparatory programs which include: F 225 from Naval Academy Prep School in Newport, RI F 6 from the Navy Nuclear Power Program F 41 from the U.S. Naval Academy Foundation Program (22 from prep schools and 19 from colleges) F 69 additional students have completed at least one semester of study at a college or university
 
Congrats x1630s! For those who are discussing the college reapplicants, as disappointing as it was last year to not get in, I feel that my son was fortunate to have a year to grow and mature and get used to being away from home for a year. He stayed very focused on his goals and where he wanted to be. That year of maturity will help him adjust to life at the Academy. For those of you with a TWE, look at all of the positive posts of college reapplicants and stay positive. :)
 
Day 40 and counting. The only difference today was that I saw the mailman put a BE in our box. I ran to the box and it was an admission package for plan B. I know that getting accepted into Auburn is an accomplishment with a scholarship, but it seems second best.

Remember the old slogan, Navy it's not a job it's an adventure, will it has been one.

Congrats on a stellar plan B, but hoping Plan A all the way for you.
I'm stalking for our Plan B and C BFE and praying that if it has to be a TWE that the other BFE's get here first.
