Today my daughters status changed on DoDMERB. She had been accepted to NAPS in December and the status for USNA said IN Process until today it said Accepted?
Will accepting an offer to NAPS/Foundation wreck my chances for a direct appointment?
Some candidates may be offered NAPS/Foundation relatively early in the admissions cycles and wonder whether accepting that offer means they are no longer eligible for an appointment. The answer is NO. Some people who are initially offered NAPS/Foundation will later be deemed qualified for a direct appointment -- often due to subsequent SAT/ACT scores or new grades. In that case, USNA will typically offer the candidate the choice of sticking with NAPS/Foundation or declining that offer in favor of a direct appointment.
SAMom, the short answer is, yes it has happened to my DS, on 07JAN10.
Cool!
We did submit the acceptance form and got the police records in late December, early January. The Academy only stated that they "received all the information they needed".
I told my DS, "now your just waiting for your first orders to come in". He gave a fist pump and said "YESSSS!).
