Does USAFA Have a Wait List?

[itsvipernotfalcon]

Anyone know if the Academy has a wait list? I've realized that with the timeline of all the appointments being given out now, I'm definitely not even close to being their first choice. I'm starting to realize that I probably won't be accepted, but even so, it would be an honor to even be considered for such a list.

For that matter, do any of the other academies have wait lists too? Which ones? Do their Prep Schools have wait lists?

But also, yes (more or less). USAFA has a "national pool". 150 candidates who were given a Congressional or Senatorial nomination will be placed into consideration to fill out the rest of the class size

It is congressionally mandated that the highest 150 candidates from the national waiting list will receive appointments. Beyond that group, USAFA admissions may pick and choose the rest until they reach the desired class size.
