Yeah, there will be more to do. Don't worry!
I suspect that more people are reporting than usual compared to this time last year for the thread.And we wait, and speculate…
If 53 appointments have been announced here to date, and the forum usually gets 10% reporting, would that mean that roughly 1/3 of appointments have been given? Or is it more likely that reporting is unusually high this year?
It's about 10% at the end that report - not along the timeline per se. Last year the majority came in Feb - March. The waiting is the hardest. Good luck!And we wait, and speculate…

Ah, this makes sense! Thank you! These long January days are dragging by ever so slowly. Hurry up and wait in full effect.It's about 10% at the end that report - not along the timeline per se. Last year the majority came in Feb - March. The waiting is the hardest. Good luck!
Thank you again for the advice! This morning we had an appointment with an ENT Specialist Physician, and DS passed all of the examinations with flying colors. One of the Dr.'s in the practice is currently a Reserve Naval Officer, one of the nurses was prior-enlisted Navy, and they were all excited for DS as much as we are. Dr. wrote up his report and provided it to us, we uploaded the documents to the appropriate website as listed in the letter for AMI's, and copied our Region 1 Admissions Counselor in the emails.Think of this as two parallel decision streams. USNA can and will evaluate him as to whether they want to offer him an appointment, independent of ongoing medical. If they decide they want to offer him an appointment, and he clears medical, they will. If they don’t want to offer him an appointment this year, they won’t, regardless of medical outcome.
Keep in mind every year hundreds of candidates who are fully qualified with a nom(s) are not offered appointments. There is just not enough room in the class.
You are doing all the right things. I assume if you schedule another hearing exam through DoDMETS, it will be with another provider? If i were in your shoes, I’d go ahead and schedule a test with a provider and pay for it, just to get an independent confirmation of your gut feel about his hearing. If DoDMETS doesn’t agree to assign and pay for another provider, you’d want to do that anyway. If results are good from the provider you chose, and hopefully backed up by another set of good results from Round 2 with a DoDMETS provider, that would be two data sets to offset the initial findings.
Now that the DoDMERB website is back up, your son can go to the DoDMERB home page, work through the menu on the left with all kinds of good info on the process, and dive into Contacts to figure out who to call with his next steps questionsThank you again for the advice!

Can you help me understand what happens next? Will these medical exam results "clear" his status and put him back into the Admissions rotation? Or, are there other next steps? What is the process. Thank you again!
Congrats from Utah mom of ‘26!DS just received a call from our Utah MOC that he will receive an appointment. Will update the table when we see it in his portal. DoDMERB qualified so can relax and time to have senior year fun.

I believe the Congressional Offices have a January 31 "deadline" to submit Nominations to USNA -- but realistically, do you think Admissions is going to reject a MOC nomination if they are a few days late ?Is the latest you could receive a possible nomination in the portal Feb 1st? I’ve seen in the past years the Washington senators release them late jan early feb.
In the same boat as you man. Been CPR from RI since November. Keep the hopes up!Long time lurker, first time posting. Happy Friday everyone, hoping for a wave of appointments today. MY DS is CPR from CT with Sen and MOC nominations and is DOBMERB and CFA Qualified, attended NASS and CVW. Portal hasn't updated this morning yet on my end.
We got notified of the MOC Nom last Friday, had the Sen Nom for awhile. DS met with the MOC on Monday and the conversation went very well. Keeping our fingers crossed. Went CPR on Friday when the MOC Nom posted.In the same boat as you man. Been CPR from RI since November. Keep the hopes up!
