c/o 2019 wait list

Emailed my waitlist papers for the University of Arizona. God I hope I get into that school!
 
DS in NC received WL letter today. Putting plan B in motion and getting ready for another ~ 6 weeks of waiting which will be toughest part. At least he still has a chance.
 
UofA my alma mater! Go Cats! Loooooooong time ago for me, but a great school! Even when I went there they had ROTC. Are you planning to do ROTC. Good luck!

Congrats! I love that school and Yes! I was awarded a 4 year NROTC marine option scholarship but my scholarship was placed at Cal State San Marcos:/ I've sent in my waitlist forms for the UofA and I realllly hope my request is granted. I honestly can't see myself anywhere else!

He'll be attending USD (which he's very happy about.) I hope you're placed at UofA. However, If you do attend San Marcos the two of you would be in the same unit.
 
CRAIGB21.........your one outstanding young man. I have worked hard my entire life, and struggled, and " took the stairs" to the top while others had elevators held for them. DO NOT give up. Your dedication up until now will get you through this let down and carry you through the next mission. Plan B is now PLAN A. Embrace it. Kick its as*. Your a winner. USNA loss is some place others gain. I have meet many supr fine US Naval Officers that attended NROTC and many didnot want the USNA. You will do great and end up in same place- which is where your suppose to be. I feel bad for all kids on here who broke their butts for this, including my own son. He is still awaiting a TWE and has mentally moved on to Plan B, a partial scholarship to a great school where he will be a College Programmer in NROTC. He is a great kid, smart, leader, and kind. His dedication will set him apart and he will succeed .
The iron left in the fire is the strongest one. Many people will get into the USNA and find that they either dont love it, or never should have attended. Thats a fact. Life is NOT fair and the strong survive.

Really happy for everyone here.. DS got his waitlist letter yesterday in PA too.
He was truly excited to make it as far as he did..making it to the top say 1400 is commendable in itself.

To make it this far is an absolutely tremendous achievement and in previous years being in the top 1400 or so meant receiving an offer. Sign of the times unfortunately for many young men and woman that the academies don't require as many as before and the yield is much higher. DS made it to the waitlist last year but eventually received the "other" TWE. He loves where he is however as he was fortunate enough to receive appt to USAFA.

I continue to be amazed at the quality of so many young men and women on this forum.
