Who Is Still Waiting?

Just so everyone knows if you ask your admissions officer what percentage of the waitlist you're in they should tell you. I asked mine and he said I was "low enough down that I should start looking at my backups", which is what I'm doing. It'll definitely end the wait a lot sooner than waiting for them to reach out.
 
Congratulations!! :)) How were you able to verify acceptance to the academy? My portal is still showing "Hold" as well as others it seems.

Unlike her brother our youngest daughter’s HOLD status morphed into a “principal appointment extended” So Instead if the dreaded HOLD There was a huge congratulatory message on the portal...if you are still on HOLD take heart 💜 in 2015 our oldest son had a much different path to KP. As a HS senior in 2015 he was on hold for a long time when suddenly his hold status morphed into ”Denied”...when we read the word “denied” we were at first in shock, depressed, and felt the full hammer if low negative emotions then....we sprang into action and called the Academy to inquire how he can improve his application for next year. At the time our son was being recruited for “music” (he’s like Motzart reincarnated) the director of The regimental band USMMA George M. Cohen’s Own took the KP Band to all NYC major parades- presidential inauguration etc) explained that because of construction of the “Band Company Barracks aka BandCo” that year they were appointing a much lower number of applicants - like 50 students less. Our son was speechless so I emailed and called and the let the academy know he would take “prep school0 - so his denial morphed into NMMI (New Mexico Military Academy) .... It’s a good idea if your DS/DD is willing to take Prep School to let tge admission DEPT know btw Prep School was paid for by USMMA. SO... by the time his status morphed from HOLD to DENIED to NMMI he was doing the happy dance!! Off to The land of UFO’s and aliens in Area 51 Roswell New Mexico studying calculus I For the second time by the time he got to USMMA he was taking calculus I for the third time and did beautifully - it was one of the best things he ever did - he made friends to last a life time and met Preps from all 5 Academies (NMMI preps for them all) he learned to make his bed, shine his shoes, clean his room, he took the SATs again, got another senatorial nomination via FaceTime and went on to USMMA (pretty much guaranteed if you pass Prep school- we also visited him in Roswell New Mexico for parents day - hilarious place to visit!! it was quite an alien adventure. DS kept the dream alive and graduate USMMA class of 2019 and is now making bank on a tugboat along side tankers in Corpus Christi Texas BTW the company is owned by a Kings point alumnus who graduated 30 years ago! Moral of the story Never never never give up! And silver lining in NM great rib city!! By the way I don’t think they appoint to NMMI anymore but they appoint to some prep school in Rhode Island something like that - call the school find out. Good luck to all prayers to all!! Remember some people never get there DODMERB so there may be some chance is still out there!!

Good story. On a side note, that sounds like Signet Maritime. Barry is a lot older than that. . .
 
Same here- DS status changed to qualified not selected. So I will have DS(1) at KP and DS(2) at SUNY Maritime! That should be interesting!!! (BTW- DS2 was a self sponsored prep at NMMI...his college credits earned at NMMI will lighten his load at SUNY)

DS status changed today to "Qualified" - no other words/comments. Any idea what this means? Still hopeful....
 
OMG how nerve wracking! Don't know what it means, but I'm holding good thoughts for you. Your DS might want to call admissions and ask.
 
Our admissions partner indicated that the "Qualified - Not Selected" status was a bulk action for those in HOLD status as a reflection of where you stand as of 1 May, their official accept/decline date. The delay in human data entry and processing likely led to the delay in portal updates. We should understand that the majority of their appointment offers for the class of 2024 have been extended. Plan B should be the current expectation for those still waiting.

Some candidates have declined, and some will decline after having previously accepted. Like we have seen this week, Admissions will continue down the NWL until the fill the class, and some with this "Qualified - Not Selected" status will be picked up off of the wait list. Sounds like the HOLDing continues.

@cousmma5280 - does this sound accurate to you?

Yes, I agree with your appraisal of the situation. The one thing that I haven't seen before is HOLD changed to QUALIFIED. I don't know what this means. Too late to look into that today, so I will check next week.

In the past, the HOLD Candidates have usually gone to Qualified - Not Selected and if they still have openings they would pull from the HOLD's first then the Qualified - Not Selected as late as mid June.
