It reminds me of watching a tennis match, all the back and forth. Look left, look right, look left again, oh back to the right. And then all the gaspsI suppose "indulging" would've been a better choice of words

Current Cadet here, I'm curious from the older grads if things really are uniquely bad here now or if it's always been like this. Not only among the doolies but among all classes, people don't really give a damn. Embarrassingly bad uniforms, disrespectfully talking to officers, blatant...www.serviceacademyforums.com

From what I've heard, the academic board meets on Thursdays to review files and assign a Whole candidate score and a decision on whether the candidate is academically qualified or not- this process should be pretty much complete for everyone now. The real arduous part, which I believe everyone is in right now, is where the nominations and appointments board meets to actually pair up qualified candidates with nomination sources, and I've heard they meet any/every day they can.Anyone know if admissions board sends out notifications tmr after they meet? I heard they meet on Thursday but do those appointments given get sent out on a later date?
If you think the academic part and scoring is done, are those who are not qualified been notified that they are not?From what I've heard, the academic board meets on Thursdays to review files and assign a Whole candidate score and a decision on whether the candidate is academically qualified or not- this process should be pretty much complete for everyone now.

Since ya mentioned USMMA I wanna get on the record for saying what a class act that place is! We spent the last three days at Kings Point, going through the breifing and tour and talking to admissions staff and just experiencing the campus and culture. My DS did the overnight visit. It’s a gem! It’s small it’s personal and less serious a bit annd more focused with less major choices and more based in giving you a skill and not sending you directly to commission as an officer. But it’s full of great smart motivated and dedicated people where you can participate in sports and clubs and do a sea year and learn a skill and get a fabulous free education in a military atmosphere and come out either making big bucks in maritime industry or commissioning as an officer in ANY branch or taking 8 years reserve at just two weeks commitment a year. You get excellent small classes and top notch teachers. My DS loved the sailing; never sailed and just loved it! They have D1 sailing; all other sports are D3 or club (they do have ice hockey!! PM me if you have direct questions; honestly, I know NAVY is all that but it’s also ridiculously hard to get into and this is a fabulous second choice. Really fabulous! You owe it to yourselves to check it out fully and see if it’s a good option for you too. Thanks for listening! Y’all were waiting anyways! Let’s keep the hope and keep up the waiting patience!
