Summer Seminar still waiting

I have seen a lot of people talking about getting accepted into the summer seminar. Has anyone been rejected yet? Wondering if they are saving rejections for the last day (April 30th)

Same as NASP. I'm not worried about getting rejected since I need to use the $300 for another program.
 
Just got rejected from summer seminar, I didn't really know what to expect or what to do now, still going to apply for actual USNA ofc.

How many people that attend NASS get accepted into USNA?

USNA does not report that in the class profile: https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/_files/documents/ClassPortrait.pdf
USAFA does not report it either: https://www.usafa.edu/app/uploads/Class-of-2024-Info-Sheet.pdf

I find that omission telling and it suggests they too do not view the two experiences as related (acceptance to Summer Sci and competitiveness for appointment). For USAFA specifically (not your question), Summer Sci has turned into a recruiting tool for underserved communities. At the end of the day, these activities helps spread awareness about Service Academies.

Many prospective students and even alumni are under the impression that Summer Sci is a screening program for admissions. Sadly, it does not appear to be the case at the present time.

I would say that USCGA awards an honor graduate achievement for their AIM program and that does appear to have weight in their admissions process. Beyond that, I am not aware of anything similar amongst the DOD SA.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at USNA Summer Sci as a student and felt it did a good job of demonstrating what student life would/could be like.
 
Just got rejected today unfortunately, just waiting on a response from AIM... Hopefully get in there. To be honest, it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would, I kind of understand why. When I applied, I had no test scores to add to the mix, etc, not really a strong candidate in general, but I thought I might as well try. Only reason, I say it doesn't hurt as much, is the fact that it is virtual this year, I wasn't really looking forward to spending $300 on a 3-day virtual program. I'd rather put that towards AIM, in case, I am accepted, at least they will be in-person.
