USNA Class of 2027 Waitlist: Team Hopeful

wildcat26 said:
I have a problem. As a freshman in college and will start my second year of college in August (provided I get turned down), I need to start planning to get a lease for an apartment. I have 2 great friends here and we want to live together but I don't want to get myself in to something that is hard to get out of or makes my friends lives harder if I get into USNA. I also don't want to wait until I may get turned down in mid-May or as late as June to sign a lease that would have to start in July as that could be expensive or even impossible depending on the market at that time. I know that getting accepted off the waitlist is a small chance but there is still a chance and it makes it really hard to plan ahead. Any advice?

Disclaimer- I am not an attorney, but I am a 20+ year air force wife. While I am not sure about the legal specifics about your issue, I do know military families that have gotten out of a lease due to military service obligations like a pcs ( permanent change of station for those not yet in military). We have never had to use this because most landlords are very flexible with service members. It wouldn’t solve the problem with your friends, but this might be an option. It is a federal law, not state.

Here is an easy to read article-
Lease termination on military. com

If you enter military service (I day) you can probably terminate the lease in writing (not oral) without having to get the JAG involved.
 
Not a lawyer, though I have won my share of cases.

I am a landlord. I just lost $7,000 by letting a student out of a lease for military.

Many landlords will let you out. I simply ask the student and housemates to help find a replacement to mitigate my loss. With a little effort they can be successful. Sometimes they don’t try.

Don’t leave the landlord high and dry. Work with him as soon as you can.

Talk to the prospective landlord in advance, explain your situation, and ask if you can rescind your agreement if an appointment comes through for USNA ... and if so, get it in writing!
 
The letter told you to move forward with your plans that don’t include the academy & this lease should not cause you grief. As I said, most landlords are flexible with service members, but they don’t have another option.You are signing the lease with the intention of fulfilling it, but military members are protected when service prevents them from fulfilling the obligation. You still need a back up room mate lined up for your buddies, but this lease will not prevent you from accepting an appointment. If you can’t find a replacement, offer to help with the rent for a 2-3 months while they look. The fact that you are thinking about this in advance shows your integrity and loyalty to your friends, but you have to proceed forward with your life.
 
Personally I would let the other roommates know there’s a possibility I won’t be there and if they couldn’t fill spot financially I will hold up to my end of the bargain.
 
I would also read leases very carefully.

Are the other housemates jointly and severally liable for any unpaid rent?

Part of me wants to get a waitlist group chat going to hopefully meet the others in my boat. on the other hand i feel that it would a poor idea with the possibility of having to say goodbye to each other based on a decision out of our control.
 
Just curious if anyone knows. With my portal status showing USNA Wait List Accepted, does this mean I am only eligible to receive an appointment to USNA at this point and not NAPS or Foundation or are those still in play?

If your offer was USNA Waitlisted and you accepted, you are only being considered for USNA, not NAPS. Can only be one or the other.

You can receive an offer for Foundation . My DD was on the USNA waitlist last year and was offered Foundation prep, she is finishing her final semester now . She received the call yesterday from our Congresswoman that she has been appointed to the class of 2027. Good luck!

I don’t want to post publicly. Tried to message you . Would be more than happy to speak to anyone regarding foundation schools when they get off waitlist . We were lucky to be given some excellent advice .

Can someone tell me who I can send supporting documentation to for a waiver? DODMERB didn’t say and I was under the impression that waivers are handled by soemone different than DODMERB.

If they need additional info - they will tell you.

Have you talked to admissions about this?
 
Does anyone know if being offered the waitlist means that you are academically/scholastically qualified?
