It is with great excitement that I can say I have received an appointment to the USMMA!!!
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)
Our son, Coby, is waiting to hear! He is prepared to wait until very end. As a mom I hope they hear soon as those on wait list really want in. Fingers cross for class of 2029 high schoolers on wait list.I would like to see a list of those on this forum who are still in the hunt for an appointment. That way, those of us pulling for you can send good thoughts and prayers your way. Hang tough. More appointments still to be made!
Great analogy and thank you for the information.@tlfrancis289 - sorry for the bad experience with the Admissions office. Sounds like the same person that @cindijtx encountered last week.
I'm sticking to my understanding of the current status situation -- a calendar roll-over event triggered everyone in the HOLD status to now be in a new status called Qualified - Not Selected. In effect, it is telling applicants to move on to plan B, but is effectively a later stage of the NWL. As we saw today with @jw68 's DS#2, they are still drawing from the QNS list, and those in QNS status are very much still in the game. We are playing in the later rounds of musical chairs, but there are still a few chairs remaining.
Just seeing the actions occurring -- I still contend that NWL = HOLD = QNS, but at this later stage of the admissions cycle, they have simply updated the language to more clearly nudge those here on the bubble to get serious about Plan B in the event that there are no seats left on the bus when the music stops on 10 July with the start of indoc.
I've dealt with some of the rudest people ever talking to admissions. They even hung up on me once. I can't get a call or an email back either.DS called Admissions yesterday and was told it was a mistake and should have been Qualified - Not Selected. The person with whom he spoke was beyond rude. Have to say overall compared to our experience with other schools, USMMA was sorely lacking. DS never received a reply to emails or calls from his Admissions Officer and then the final rude send off yesterday was enough to turn him off to the school. Both his aunt and uncle are KP grads so he had always heard great things about the school and their experiences. Happily DS is more than excited about his Plan B NROTC so he will hopefully still end up where he wants to be in the end. Wish all of you and your DDs and DSs great success at KP. We are on a different path.
My son got an email on Friday last week saying USMMA filled all the slots for 2024...so we went to Plan B...SUNY Maritime. We were getting excited for that and then got a call today! DS2 got an appointment off the “qualified not selected” NWL group!!!! I am in shock. (Thanks to whoever turned their appointment down!)
Congratulations on your eventual acceptance, and a thought about the rude behavior your DS experienced earlier in the month.
