NAPS 2024 Waitlist

Just read on another thread that a candidate not on the NAPS waitlist was given and accepted a NAPS appointment. My reading tea leaves and speculation are officially over. I either lack the ability to reason this process, or there is no reason to be made of this process. May all those that make it make the most of it, and those that don’t make the most of your situation!

Were they on the USNA waitlist?

Truly depressing! You have to be excited for them but it's a hard pill to swallow when you know that candidates are sitting on an actual waitlist and/or have LOAs! I must say that it's such a relief to finally know that DD's medical waiver was denied. She has moved on beautifully in just a few days and actually looks happy again! And, I was finally able to order swag! She didn't participate in the College Decision Day at school so we're going to throw her a surprise party and celebrate her great accomplishment! :)

From what I have read, it seems this lucky individual was on the cusp of both waitlists. There just weren't enough spots at the academy, but they were wanted badly enough to make the investment for NAPS. What an amazing opportunity!

Yep, the applicant had the qualifications to fit and fill a specific and needed slot, which confirms that the admissions process to a Service Academy is more than just meeting an enrollment numbers goal. I understand that it's hard to see someone jumping over those already on the WL, but different and specific Navy needs must be met ... not just numbers.

Yes! Absolutely! That's one of the biggest takeaways that I have had since being on this forum. All of the Academies are truly looking at the whole class and the whole individual. They are creating a balanced class and at the end of the day that may look different every year but they are looking at a lot of different factors.

Needs of the Navy = Needs of the Naval Academy
 
Question ~ DS graduated last night with a college preparatory diploma and his AA diploma. Found out today unofficial transcripts are ready at the CU. Is there a way he can update his application to add his senior accomplishments?

From what I have read, candidates cannot make changes to their application? At least for the current cycle.
