Happy Monday, Team Hopeful!!
I was just browsing last year's WL threat and several got their news May 19-25. Hoping for some action this week for us! It's getting to where my son needs to start focusing more on Plan B and not just going through the motions. He's done everything he NEEDED to do to secure it, but isn't proactively working that plan. I am getting emails about the different opportunities at his Plan B school and he still has to complete his paperwork for NSI (due the end of this month) and I know his focus was on AP exams the last 2 weeks and finals this week plus polo season just wrapped up and graduation on Saturday. But I know if this was USNA paperwork, it would have been done weeks ago. He's still holding out hope. I am going to take him out to Boulder in June if he hasn't heard from USNA first. He's agreed to the trip but I don't think he's excited about it. It was nice on scholarship night when NROTC presented him his giant check and the whole school ooohed and ahhhhed and he got to understand what a significant accomplishment that was and maybe that helped him see that Plan B is a pretty solid opportunity, too.
I think an underappreciated skill is waiting indefinitely. At least with regular admissions, we all KNEW it could take up to April 15th. We didn't like it and hoped it would be sooner, but we knew it might be April 15th. With the WL, it could be today or it could be never or anything in between. This is a whole new level of resilience. When the c/o 2028 waitlisters read this thread, I hope they know we get it and we agree with you that it sucks. LOL!!!
