I am 3'Qd with a nomination and I was placed on the NWL. When does the admissions committee start awarding appointments from the NWL pool?

Also if anyone has been awarded an appointment off of the NWL, please comment with your state, nomination type, and basic credentials.
 
USMA,
I don't believe anyone placed on the NWL will receive appointments until sometime in March. The NWL is a pool of 3Q candidates. In that pool are applicants of different backgrounds - race, academic, athletic, minority, leadership qualities... From what I understand about the NWL, the USMA uses the NWL to balance out their incoming class. That is how the prospectus shows certain acceptable percentages of female, minorities, academic capabilities...
 
I was placed on the NWL and i received an appointment in the mail today!!! So i guess they are sending out some NWL appointments now... Keep your eye on the mailbox!!

Best wishes,

Extracurriculars: Eagle Scout, Lodge chief (scouting position over 500 people), section secreatary (scouting position assisting in the leadership of over 1200 people), Member of several School Clubs, Went to NWP as a free agent and excelled there, 1st violin in a professional orchestra for 2 years, and many more smaller things.

Athletics: Didnt play for high school teams, but played recreationally with the high school basketball team, and participated in pre-season conditioning with them (didnt have enough time due to scouts to actually play on the team :D).

Best of luck!
