USNA 2026 Waiting and.… Waiting

Saturday was great we took DD's baby sister to USAG State. We did not think about college. We did not talk about an appointment. We ate gyros... cheered for little gymnast... and sang 80s music all the way home. Sunday, back to the reality that maybe we should look at those back up plans. We are going to Albuquerque on Good Friday, 17 hours from home.... and if the TWE arrives we have green chili fries and phenomenal burritos. Does anyone know if there is a "walk on" option for NROTC?
 
The Waitlist (not the national waiting list or “the pool”)

The “waitlist” means USNA is in its end stage of building the class to a certain target size range. They are at the point they have built a list - no idea how many are on it - of applicants they would put in the class if they knew they had room. They are now waiting for others’ decisions to clarify how much room is left in the class, so they have a waitlist of folks to draw from if needed.

There is no way of knowing how many - if any - will come off the waitlist.

Keep an eye on your portals, phones and spam mail, and ensure you have a professional vmail prompt. It might come down to a direct call from an Admissions officer wanting to know your answer now or maybe within 24 hours.

As I said, it’s the end game now. Earlier in the process, when numbers were fluid, someone declining wasn’t necessarily a 1:1 immediate availability of a spot, as we know USNA makes more offers than they expect to accept, looking for a certain yield percentage. Now, though, USNA is moving to the goal line by direct management of the warm bodies needed to get to the point where the cycle goal is met.
