I appreciate the well wishes and positivity by the members of this forum. I am feeling sad today as my DD is a college reapplicant still waiting to hear some good news. USNA is her dream school. Last year she made it to the waitlist with one nom, immediately said she was reapplying, and was encouraged to do so by her USNA admissions counselor. She did, and in my opinion, only improved her application. She is NROTC, has 3 noms this year, made the dean’s list with a fully loaded plebe-like schedule, yet here we wait...crickets....application under review. With only one day left the outlook is bleak. How does one go from the waitlist last year to rejection this year WITH an improved application?
