i have not heard thatAnyone heard that they are now telling people they want until April 21st to send out final decisions? My son said that is what his high school counselor(s) is telling a number of kids from his school who applied and are still waiting.
I think April 21st is the USAFA date. Today was the goal for USNA. Tea leaf reading.......maybe they told MOCs decisions for appointments today and it will go in the portal by the end of the week?Anyone heard that they are now telling people they want until April 21st to send out final decisions?

So well said!For all who receive the dreaded TD: This weekend my DD (plebe) asked to come home. So, on Saturday at 12 noon I arrived at Mother B. Well, she asked if we could take another 5 plebes from her company who were going to one of the Mids home near DC to attend a concert. Luckily we have van and we had lots of company for the 90 min ride. Of the 4 plebes 1 was a recruited athlete, 1 was NAPS, 1 was standard direct and 2 were reapplicants. From what is have seen on this forum, the USNA looks favorably to reapplicants who mimic the Plebe Fall courses and have a good GPA. So, GO TO PLAN B AND REAPPLY!. YOUR ODDS ARE MUCH BETTER THE 2nd TIME. GOOD LUCK!
My DS was turned down last year, had a great year at ERAU and is part of the class of ‘29. He was not a huge fan of USMMA and thought a second try at USNA was worth it.I have. I didn’t fall in love like I did ERAU and USNA, but it’s an option… I mean, 4 years there to become a naval aviator with USN, it would be worth it.
USMMA is definitely in need of lots of work. Keep in mind the new Sec of Transportation is committed to investing lots of money there to get it out of its dilapidated (his exact word) state.I have.

Wow...sounds like USNA missed out on a great kid.My DS was turned down this morning, but in the interest of sharing stats for those who didn’t make it, here are his:
Plan is to now choose between USMMA and GWU NROTC. I believe he will be choosing the latter.
- GPA: 4.4/4.0 weighted. 3.9 unweighted (9 AP’s)
- 1420 SAT
- Varsity soccer and Select player. 2x captain
- Varsity track and X-Country (Academic All State in Both)
- Congressional Gold Medal Winner
- Service League Officer – Community Service + Built orphanages in Costa Rica
- Did summer intensive programs at Brown & Cambridge University (U.K.)
- USNA Summer Seminar + Coast Guard AIM + Outward Bound
- NHS + AP Scholar
- Congressional Youth Advisory Council
- 576 CFA Score (out of 600)
- 2 noms (Senator Cruz + Local Congressman)
- NROTC Scholarship winner
Good luck to everyone, and I’m sorry we won’t be able to join you all for drinks and dinner in DTA. But any of you who got in definitely deserved it!

Impressive resume

April 21 is Air Force deadline maybe mixing them up?Anyone heard that they are now telling people they want until April 21st to send out final decisions? My son said that is what his high school counselor(s) is telling a number of kids from his school who applied and are still waiting.
So.. is today actually the deadline for USNA. So most people will know today or….April 21 is Air Force deadline maybe mixing them up?
I myself did a year at ERAU, not on NROTC, and applied a second time to USNA for the class of 2026. I love the decision I made, yes the change from full freedom to limited/none is tough, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Month or two into ERAU I know I still wanted USNA and so I went for it again. Got waitlisted on April 15, 2022 and found out I got an offer at the end of May, one month before I-day. You aren’t out until you are! Keep your head up y’all!My DS was turned down last year, had a great year at ERAU and is part of the class of ‘29. He was not a huge fan of USMMA and thought a second try at USNA was worth it.
I am shocked! What an amazing son you have. If he chooses USMMA and our DS does too (he is still debating Texas A&M w/NROTC Scholarship too) maybe they will connect since they are both from Texas!My DS was turned down this morning, but in the interest of sharing stats for those who didn’t make it, here are his:

The Navy academy says they aim to let most applicants know of their status by April 15 but it's not hard and fast deadline. Some kids don't hear to after that. Just a goal for them.So.. is today actually the deadline for USNA. So most people will know today or….
Love this. I'm sorry though, did your DS also get a TD?I am shocked! What an amazing son you have. If he chooses USMMA and our DS does too (he is still debating Texas A&M w/NROTC Scholarship too) maybe they will connect since they are both from Texas!
This should be framed as an example of how flawed the admissions process is at Annapolis. I know just about every candidate from our area that gained admission over the last 3 cycles, and not one of them is even within a sniff of this resume, and I am in a mega competitive district/state. I am sure somebody will bloviate about “gotta win the slate” or “scores could be higher” blah blah, but the reality is that is one helluva tough and well rounded list of achievements, and has leadership and goal setter/overachiever written all over it. At the very least, a candidate like this should find a spot on the national list. Anyhow, best wishes to your student, I am sure they will do great things.My DS was turned down this morning, but in the interest of sharing stats for those who didn’t make it, here are his:
