USNA Class of 2028 Waiting and Speculating

Not to read the tea leaves, but seeing that the form last updated at 6PM Eastern, I’m going to guess that admissions have either wound down for the day or are taking a dinner break.

So frustrating. Pending since November, get a turn down email last Thursday, was fine with it, get a poorly worded email saying that it was a mistake (quite the mistake), USNA waits to tell me until the last possible second that I’m waitlisted. Overall very mad and frustrated by the system and process.

Well, my DS was Pending, TWE'd, Pending and today Turned Down. He is a re-applicant and 4 weeks away from finishing his first year at his PLAN B (4-yr NROTC_MO). All I can say is, "IF NOT ME, THEN WHO" ~ Travis Manion ..... My DS will be the "WHO" just coming in from a different road. #RAHVAMIL
Good Luck to ALL the waitlisted, and TWE's .... Amazed at all who selflessly have choose the to serve.

The message NomSeeker referred to has been sent to BGO's a well. I understand the frustration, but this year really is not abnormal....its a difficult job, Admissions is juggling a lot of balls trying to get the best class it can and hit the authorized class size as close as possible. They recognize there are individuals sitting on pins and needles, but this is one of those situations where personal interests take back seat to the good of the cause...actually happens a lot in the military.

Also, as an FYI -- I don't think USNA has ever characterized April 15 as a "deadline". The Admissons website says "most" will have heard, and from my observation, that is certainly true. For those that haven't heard, you will...and until you hear something you are still in the game.

Exactly. Not a deadline. Last year, dodmerbs issues set things back, etc. As a wise man once said, “I’d rather get a late appointment over an on-time NO”

I appreciate the note. Perhaps we set our expectations too high given the principal nomination. We were under the impression that principal nominees generally get an offer if they’re qualified. His portal indicated he was 2Q and we were optimistic he had enough other positive attributes (Eagle Scout, National Youth Leadership Training, captain of year-round club swim team, challenging academics, solid ACT, etc.) to push him across the finish line. We’d love to understand what put him behind others in his slate without the principal nom, but realize we’re not going to get those answers. He’s grateful to still be in the fight, even if it’s hard to feel grateful in the moment. Looks like he’s in good company this evening.

If your DS wanted easy, he would have applied to ECU….👀. Keep the faith and trust the process..
