BGO told my DS to give it til Thursday and if he didn’t hear anything by then to contact himBGO just reached out at 2250 on a Sunday night. Hoping that’s a harbinger of good news to come
There is a whole lot of work to be done after Admissions Board reviews the application. Once a Candidate is deemed "Qualified"by the Board, then the hard work of racking and stacking, and building the Class begins. There is a branch of Admissions . Noms and Appointments, that then evaluates each MOC Nomination slate to determine whom, among Qualified Nominees, gets the Offer of Appointment. ThatIf the application was reviewed, I was hopeful there would be a relatively quick decision
BGO's don't know anything more than the Candidates themselves--BGO will not be the source of your Appointment or Rejection notice.Messaged the BGO right before the April 15th big day to see if he knew anything. He said he didn't see anything regarding an appointment but he didn't see anything about a rejection either!
Still waiting as well,,, Keep the FAITH! Fly NAVY!No news here....
DS is patiently waiting as well.Still waiting as well,,, Keep the FAITH! Fly NAVY!
I just got a call from my BGO he said there’s nothing about me, but all of his other kids were rejected. So maybe that’s good news??
This is incorrect. As a BGO I was able to see my candidate was Pending Congressional Notification regarding his appointment last Friday morning. There was a 3 business day wait before USNA notified him via email today. His MOC never called. A candidate who had been rejected was noted as such on my end as well.There is a whole lot of work to be done after Admissions Board reviews the application.

BGO told me the same two weeks ago, that he didn't see anything about a nomination yet but he saw a ton of rejections.... fingers crossed!
I don't understand how any year the waitlist would go untouched. I was told by a prior-enlisted mid that the 170 spots for prior enlisted are never filled, and the spots that aren't filled are put towards the waitlist.With all due respect, because there already is a wait list. DOD SAs’ recent acceptance yield is 85%. It’s a high and stable number, at least in recent years. It implies that the wait list is small. As @NavyHoops, who’s been in and around this process far more than most, said in another post: Some years, a few are plucked from the wait list. Other years, the wait list goes untouched.
Yes, on April 15th at 2:30 I received a TWE then the next day at 4:30 AM I received an offer for the waitlist and was told to disregard my TWE. The waitlist FAQ said that 70 to 120 people are offered spots on the waitlist.is anyone waitlisted yet?
They aren’t put towards the wait list that many are thinking of. As in the wait list that just came out. The class has a goal number. USNA uses an algorithm to make X offers based upon meeting that goal number. They use all kinds of data to make a guess on what the yield will be. USNA has traditionally had a very high yield. There can be up to X amount of spots for prior enlisted. Yes, they are rarely 100% filled. USNA rounds out a class after all the MOC slates are determined, presidential, etc. USNA then pulls candidates from what is called the National Pool or the NWL. They can receive an appointment from here. If I remember correctly USNA is required to appoint the top 150 from this list, they are charged to Sec Nav. After that, USNA can appoint who they want from the list to round out a class.I don't understand how any year the waitlist would go untouched.

Title 10 USC (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/8454)
(b)In addition there may be appointed each year at the Academy midshipmen as follows:
...
(2) 85 nominated by the Secretary of the Navy from enlisted members of the Regular Navy and the Regular Marine Corps.
(3) 85 nominated by the Secretary of the Navy from enlisted members of the Navy Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve.
^ Exactly -- PLEASE DO NOT CALL YOUR BGO asking for information on your status. BGO's are not permitted to give whatever limited information we have. In fact, I wait until after a Candidate contacts me or I read about the appointment in the paper, before I call to offer my congratulations.I think OldNavyBGO's point was that Noms and Appts makes the appointment decision, not the Admissions Board. BGOs are NOT allowed to notify the candidate of their status - appointment, turndown, waitlist, etc. Even if the nominating official does not communicate with the candidate - the official notification is to come from USNA Admissions (email or portal)
Thank you for this information! I was wondering what BGOs know and when. My DS just recently received his appointment - MOC call on Friday and email yesterday - but hadn’t heard anything from his BGO. He’s going to send a thank-you note to the BGO but wasn’t certain whether he’d be breaking the news or the BGO would already know (which influences how he words the message).^ Exactly -- PLEASE DO NOT CALL YOUR BGO asking for information on your status.
