Wait List Process?

[mpgruber]

As of last Friday (April 1), I have been informed that I am on the wait list. I was just curious to how the wait list works. I know that the deadline for appointment confirmation is May 1st, so will those of us who are on the wait list not hear anything before that date or is it a moving process in that, say if someone were to decline their appointment today, then someone on the wait list would receive an appointment in a couple days (or before May 1)? Any other information regarding the wait list process withing the admissions board would be greatly appreciated.

USNA normally sends out a wait list Q&A. Below is information from last year's wait list Q&A below, that should answer your questions:

We must wait until after May 1, the decision deadline for students to whom we have offered appointments, to determine how many spaces in the class will be filled at that time. If all spaces in the class are taken, we will not be able to offer admission to any students on the Wait List. If spaces do become available, we will still need anywhere from two weeks to a month after May 1 to determine just how many additional offers of admission we can make.

The earliest you may hear about the Wait List is approximately the third week in May, and the latest may be mid-June.
