usna1985, DS received an email today letting him know that the wait list was generated yesterday and he was offered a spot on it--email congratulated him and said that the "official" wait list letter along with the FAQ sheet will be mailed out by the end of the week. Unless, he (and I) are reading the email wrong, it appears that he was wait listed...he never got indication that he was in the National Pool..He has a Pres Nom and won a spot on his MOC slate...
