Wow!!! I can't fathom what your son went through. In hind sight, I bet it was all worth it. At the same time, it must have been agonizing.
thank you.. it helps to hear this.To all those waiting. Last year my DS applied EA, was deferred to Regular Decision, was then deferred to the waitlist, and then received an appointment on MAY 30!! You never know.......hang tough.
No, same here.DS checked bears den. No change. Just the letter he was being rolled over to RA from EA 12/20. Anyone else have changes who applied EA on bears den?
We are calling Monday morning... got nothing to lose. The agony of waiting is unbearable.my son seriously wants to call his AO and have him ask straight up... like, if you know its a NO, tell me now.. I can take it... what I can't take any more of is this agony! With the quarantine and no other distractions, the suspense is off the charts!!! We are fully expecting a NO at this point, being how late it is, and how long that list of people already offered is.
DS1 was waitlisted in 2016, he is in the class of 2020. Got his appointment first week of May. Had solid plan B n C. Work on your plan B, you can always turn it down. Good luck!I'd have to agree it's looking like Wait List is best case scenario at this point. I have heard that Wait List is not an Order of Merit based list, rather its more subjective in nature based on needs of incoming Academy class. Has anyone heard anything different concerning Wait List?
I heard the same about wait list. It's not like your listed in a numerical number.
Anyone's plan B includes attending Marion Military Institute or Georgia Military College? My daughter loved MMI (got to visit), but is open to GMC, but has not visited. One of those schools will be plan B.
If you haven’t already seen it, check out the Self Prep page on GMC. There is an AMAZING video that features a young man who is now a 4C. (If my timing is correct, a 4C. Regardless, he is at the Academy now.) Anyway, he was a self prep and the video will bring tears to your eyes. I wanted to hug him after I saw it...and I don’t even know who he is. LOL The point is, though, his self prep experience is one that everyone should hear about. What an inspirational video!I heard the same about wait list.

DS2 is self prep at MMI. He is missing all his friends right now. The staff are awesome. He received a call from his AO 3/20/20. Then got call from all the football coaches and 3 from admissions 3/21/20.I heard the same about wait list. It's not like your listed in a numerical number.

Everyone please stay optimistic! We only have 4 more days until we all find out. If we waited this long we can wait 4 more days
