Yes, I check every day and I also emailed my admissions counselor and she keeps telling me the same thing, that they will send the email once I am viewed as "competitive"
If you email Mr. Mullen (go over to the DoDMERB page and his email is posted in several places) he can confirm whether or not DoDMERB has rcvd the request from USNA (he will not be able to confirm it until USNA requests medical). If not, then it is between you and USNA.
How about the pre school? Will it be considered? and when the decision of the NAPS be made and notifications will be sent out?
No I have not even had any type of contact with DODMERB at all, my name has not been sent to them and the process has not begun.
I just don't understand how I am in one of the most competitive areas to receive a nom (Northern NJ area) and I have also heard of people receiving LOAs who have ~3.5 GPAs, and I am not even considered competitive. I feel like I had a solid packet and application. Its been fully complete since December.
Respectfully, there is more that goes into an application then just GPA. There are athletics, leadership roles, interviews, CFA, community service hours, ACT/SAT, course rigor, class rank, etc. Have you tried emailing your admissions counselor? They would have the most accurate answer.
I recognize this waiting is extraordinarily difficult, but to reiterate the advice given so often here, do not look left or right at other candidates, especially with regard to LOAs. You will only add to your frustration. You cannot see the totality of their application or know what class-building strategies are being employed by Admissions. You want to be evaluated on everything you bring to the table, not just numerical stats, so relieve yourself of the burden of comparison with others by granting the same grace to others. It is fruitless to compare on one narrow stat. There will always be more fully qualified, outstanding candidates with a nomination(s) than there is room for in the class.
