Complete pending review

It could have already been reviewed. All that status means is everything has been received. They will remain in this status until a decision is made. I had a young man a few years ago compete their app in Aug, reviewed in Oct and remained CPR until April when he got his BFE.

Your sons application has been looked at. Along with the rest of the slate that he is on. He may not be the most competitive regardless of his medical issue. If he is waiverable, and is the one from the slate that USNA is wanting to appoint, he will be offered an LOA until his medical is worked through. This is common. There are lots of candidates in this exact situation, at this time.

USNA is working though how many slate? Of approximately 10 candidates?? That a LOT of applications. For however many people work on appointments (the step after admissions work).

It takes time. Throw in there candidates having yet to decide, and waiver/medical issues to settle, and you can see how that adds to the complexity of this process.

It’s highly unfair to imply that your son is being dismissed. Thrown in a pile. Not looked at. Which is what I get from your posts. The reality is that he is still under consideration. Where he is on that slate? Who knows. But if he receives his TWE? He isn’t under consideration anymore.

State slates are due the end of January. It takes a long minute for USNA to look through allllll those thousands of candidates, and begin to work through the complicated process. I wound not sign up for that! They are working HARD. Probably long hours. Missing their kids ball games, etc.

The fact of the matter, is that if you have CPR for a
Long time? It means you are in the ‘pile of maybe’. There are TWE’s that have gone out. If you are still CPR, you are still in the game. It takes until April 15-ISH (give it take). So you still have about a month to go. Plan on CPR until then. Bc that’s what USNA states.

It’s not fair to be mad about anything. Get grumpy after April 15 😆 Be patient. This is the process. It’s what candidates signed up for ☮️

My son is too. He had everything but the nomination done by mid-Sept. Got his nom the end of Nov. So now we just wait. And hope.
 
Resilience and adaptability are two key traits in good leadership and successful military officers. Like everything in the journey of a military career, each step has its challenges and tests your patience. If the kid is that good, and they get turned down this cycle, it is not the end of the line. If the Academy is the path they are determined to shoot for, they can go on to plan B/C/D, rock it there, re-apply.

There are no surprises about this process. It is documented all over the place, the least of which is the yearly "panic" cycle that you can read about on this forum. My son got an LOA in his first cycle in November, but didn't find out his final standing that year (TWE) until the end of the cycle 6 months later, along with everyone else that was remaining. Finished his app reasonably early again for the next one, but same thing in his second cycle (without the LOA) - last day response in mid-April, waitlist, and waiting even more!

Sorry to be blunt, but if this part is stressing out a kid so much, they are in for a shock when sh-t is blowing up over their heads and they have to make split second decisions about life and death.

Not implying….just sharing the sentiment of so many. I know to each person who’s ds or dd has applied, they are more than what their packet can quantify, as are the names etched on so many memorials/walls.
Maybe I’m just an antiquated backwater, holler dwelling Jeffersonian….and thus….misunderstood. But bless everyone who applied, and bless those behind the curtain tasked with selecting the leaders of our arm that will defend us against China!

We are patient and grateful to still be CPR, but my household’s frustration is with the vast difference in interaction and explanation between DS’s USMA Admissions Officer and USNA Admissions Officer. Your explanation was great. It was the kind we would routinely get from USMA when questions were asked and at least gives you some idea of where the process stands - it makes you feel like “hey, we want to be helpful but this is where we are”. For USNA, responses are delayed and usually consist of some form of “I don’t know, I turned it in…”. It definitely starts to impact how you feel about the process. But we’re trying to be understanding and realize they’ve got a ton to do the next few weeks.

All the SA’s are different. Sure, they are all military, but they are different. They aren’t the same. You are dealing with two different companies.

It’s like wanting a burger. McDonalds is different than Whattaburger. But they both are burgers. But you can’t really compare the two experiences. Even though they both serve burgers.

USMA is not USNA is not USAFA is not USMMA is not USCGA.

Beyond that, this application process/reassurance/responsiveness to applying really shouldn’t be an integral part of deciding what service to join. I don’t even think the academy should be, IMO, as that is only 4 yrs. Ultimately, it’s the service branch you want to belong to for the xxx yrs afterwards. I guarantee the responsiveness of the admissions officer won’t matter.

This process is challenging. And there will be growth for a candidate for having gone through it, no matter the outcome.

Maybe you could try leaning on your BGO if you have worries? Idk but admissions really cannot give specifics about candidates applications. Other than what’s already known on their portals. CPR means CPR. They can’t delve into the specifics of a slate, for example. What are you wondering about? Maybe your question is something they cannot answer?

There are many more appointments to come.

There are many more TWE’s to come.

Hang in there!
 
I think the reality is that we're all just crazy right now with wondering what is to come for our kids. I know there is nothing to do but wait but the busy energy in my body causes me to act crazy and look at portals and try to speculate things that I can't possibly ACTUALLY guess. So instead we all wait and make silly statements and read fortunes in things that have no meaning. Because ultimately, we all just want to know our kid is secure and our kids want to know what their future looks like. Those who have been through it can watch knowingly because they felt the same things and maybe years have softened it but they were in our shoes. Those who are just tuning in for the next cycle can laugh thinking they won't be as crazy as we are because they know better. Don't worry, you will be crazy too. I know you are looking on thinking that your kid is spectacular and will get that LOA in September and 3 nominations. I hope you're right! But we all have spectacular kids and most of them are still waiting. Some of us are going to get fantastic news soon and some will get heartbreaking news soon and there's no way to know this minute which one is coming to our household. So we wait. And say crazy things. And hope for the best. And do our taxes. And wait some more.

Yeeesssss!!! Exactly this!! Last year in our “looking on phase” the forum seemed to be full of answers and constantly flowing with new information. Then it’s your kid’s cycle and it seems to be traveling in slow motion. Back to my taxes to wait, I guess.😂
 
It doesn't get much better after they are at USNA (or wherever). In some ways, it gets worse because your child (now a legal adult) will never be able to give you enough information on what they are doing etc. They will go completely dark for weeks. You will come to forums like this hoping to find a glint of what may be going on with them. You will use forums like this to vent your frustration at not knowing what your child is experiencing, how he/she is handling it, what ups and downs they are experiencing. And even if they told you all that, you have zero influence on the outcome. This will be the case, even if your son/daughter is child number 3 or 4 and you thought you "been there, done that, got the t-shirt". But you will buy t-shirts - lots of them. And dorky flags. And you will bore your friends and family.

Consider this training for what is about to happen to you and them. And I suppose consider the four years at USNA to be training for long periods when you have no idea where they are and no way to contact them, even in an emergency. And they will be doing things that they cannot tell you about under penalty of prosecution.

FACTS! It's not much better being married into it lol.
 
How do I know that Im not competing against my slate anymore and I am in the national pool? I am starting to think that since I am still CPR, I have not won a nomination off of my MOC slate.
