...the first board, which I believe is your child's AO and volunteer CGA parents, finished looking over all applicants a few days ago.
I don't think there are any CGA parents on the Cadet Candidate Evaluation Board.
I believe the CCEB is made up of approximately 45 CGA staff and faculty members only.
Officer,
Thanks for the update! Son mentioned to me that it was said by someone at the Academy during the webinar, that a mailing would go out as late as April 15th! I had thought that we would all know something by April 15th, not still be waiting for word!
Sending good thoughts to all waiting!
She told him that (Luigi/Objee/Boss, please correct me if I don't quite get this right) the first board, which I believe is your child's AO and volunteer CGA parents, finished looking over all applicants a few days ago. She then told him that then his application will go to the next boards where they will further look, decide, and assign points accordingly. Once this is done, the applicant's information is put into a computer resulting in the top 200 or so to go onto the next stage which I think is the superintendent.
Do the RA Reviews come before the EA Deferral Reviews or do they happen at the same time?
Wow...sounds like we may need to start random drug testing on our Partners! The initial review process is actually very straightforward and the reevaluation process (for EA deferrals) is pretty simple too.
EA Review
File is assigned two CCEB reviewers...each reviewer independently recommends the applicant either be appointed or deferred to RA. All files recommended for appointment are forwarded to the Admissions Committee where 3-5 senior Admissions staff members (plus the Director of Admissions) either agree with the appointment recommendation or decide to defer to RA. This part of the process is most similar to the USNA video with the "voting blocks" and everyone around the table. The Superintendent usually tenders appointments according to the Admissions Committee results, but he can really do whatever he wants since the final authority rests with him.
RA Review
File is assigned two CCEB reviewers...each reviewer independently recommends the applicant either be appointed, waitlisted, or not accepted. All files recommended for appointment are forwarded to the Admissions Committee to follow the process outlined above. All applicants recommended for the waiting list will be notified of that status no later than April 15th; same notification timeline for those applicants not recommended for an appointment.
EA Deferral Review
File is reviewed by a senior Admissions staff member...reviewer decides to either send the file out for reevaluation by the CCEB (following the process outlined above) or recommends the applicant not be accepted; same notification timeline for these applicants as outlined above.
Waiting List Review
If slots in the class become available after May 1st due to late declines, conduct problems, academic failures, medical disqualifications/injuries, etc. then the Admissions Committee will review the waiting list and recommend additional appointments to the Superintendent.
Imchatt,
Yes it is very quiet. I was looking at old post again yesterday and saw that they started coming out this very time last year. I'm leaning on my faith to get me through this. My son is the practical one and said to me yesterday, "Mom, is it going to help at all if I worry about this? Do I have any control over this right now?" He's the slow steady river and has been great through this whole process. This Mom could learn a lesson from her son, and I think I will do just that. So I intend to enjoy this beautiful Texas weather, work our back-up plans, and pray for God's will. It's almost over, and time flies when your having fun (sarcasm intended) -officer
