USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

Haven't most USNA appointment offers gone out? Kids we know received their USMA appointments months ago. Assuming DS should expect a decline at this point...his portal has been "Pending" since everything was complete in January.

Approaching the 15th with a nomination from OH District 7 to USNA, a FFS offer from USAFA (Senatorial + OH Dist. 7 Nomination to USAFA), and a NROTC Full Scholarship to Purdue or Ohio State. Stacked all my nominations to USAFA but still have the nom. from OH 7. My NROTC scholarship advisor is starting to put on the pressure about accepting my scholarship (Do not have to deny/accept until May!!). Still medically disqualified on USNA portal. Submitted AMI for USAFA and NROTC back in February. Hoping that AMI will supplement for my waiver to USNA and I do not have to play that game again (hoping admissions saw that). Summer STEM & Seminar attendee. Worked my butt off to put myself in this position (32 ACT, top 5% grad class, AP, etc.).

Anyone in a similar position with similar stats? Feels like USNA has not appointed a bunch of the class of 2028 yet. If I receive an appointment, I will most likely accept it. I came to love USNA's campus and culture over USAFA, but the long-term goal is to fly (no specific aircraft in mind). Solidified my decision through the gritty, but amazing USNA Summer Seminar. I feel like the structure and leadership at USNA are more worthy, and a lot of great conversations about the Naval Flight School training. Seems that if you don't fly for USAF, it's all administrative work. Would like to hear some feedback and opinions to guide my thought process. If you have gone through Naval Flight Training, please PM!

You need to accept the NROTC scholarship. You can always decline it if/when you receive the appointment.

USMA seems to do theirs earlier; same with USAFA but these are just from observations on here for the last two years. Definitely seems like USNA is particularly behind this year in putting out decisions. Most will come out between now and April 15. The waiting is torture; imagine years of it as our college reapps (like my DS) are going through. He’s been hoping, trying, working and pushing hard to make his Navy dream a reality for like 3 years now! The great news is if ya don’t get in, you can reapply til you reach 23. Lots of mids get in 2nd or 3rd and even 4th try! Navy loves determination!:) Good luck and Go NAVY!!!

it is my understanding that they are behind and there are still quite a few appointments that have not been giving out..my son has been pending since he sent everything in early in the fall and whenever we contact admissions they tell us he is still in the pool and they are still reviewing applications and issuing decisions... from what i gather we need to keep hope until we receive a turn down. Good luck! the waiitng is so hard. His Plan B school already had their housing deadline and registration for classes starts Monday so we are focusing on making sure those are done and if he gets an appointment we lose a deposit but it is for a great experience at USNA! fingers crossed for all of those still waiting!

First of all congratulations!!! @kerndog1 and @BC2233 I am very excited for you!! My DS is also a reapplicant and from PA. I was curious as to which district you come from and also if you were in NROTC? It seems most of the reapplicants aren’t posting that they were in ROTC. Thank you so much!! If you don’t want to answer I understand that too.

TY for the congrats. District 10. No NROTC. Hope this is helpful.

Very similar stats to you and exact same situation with USNA sitting on a DQ. 32 ACT. Top of my Class at an elite boarding school, APs across the board, captain of varsity crew team and top XC runner. The admissions board works in mystery ways but they have a process. Congratulations on NROTC scholarship. Something I’ve been trying to remind myself is that this one result BFE/TWE does not validate or invalidate all our hard work. We are still in the fight. Hope to see you around the yard next year or next next year or the year after that!
 
I found last year the appointments happened at a slow trickle in April and then you start to hear about NAPS and Foundation folk getting appointments. As for the turn downs…many tended not to post. A few will post that they were turned down and wish others luck..others rant frustrations. Then the rest go on the waitlist….where you do much of the same as we have been for another month. You see less and less folks on these portals and then by June it becomes quiet. It’s a waiting game all the way to the end! 😉

Do you think it’s a good or bad thing that my application portal still says pending this far into decisions?
 
Hello Everyone!! I have been following the forum for some time now, finally decided to join! Still pending on portal, playing the waiting game like everyone else and this forum has brought comfort knowing there are more people in my situation. Wish everyone luck and am glad to finally be part of the forum!

Blank your mind and call it neutral. As long as you have not been told “no,” you might be told “yes.” Shut down that brain hamster that keeps cycling on this and go PT to bleed off stress.

Absolutely! Been following the 14 weeks to plebe summer program to get in shape (just completed week 4), and PT definitely helps get my mind off things and release some stress.
 
Hello, I have been following this forum for months along with my candidate son. He just received his acceptance email yesterday. This forum is rightly named as until there is any decision all you can do is wait and speculate while at the same time continuing on with plan B or C.

I know that there has been much discussion about the CPR status. For my son his status changed either Wednesday or Thursday at some point from completed to CPR. Saturday morning there was an unexpected email. Is this the norm? I have no idea, but i thought i would share with others on here what it was for him.

The other thing i have learned is that the Navy has their schedule and I don’t know it.
