<p>My son is wait-listed at USNA, and I know there are others out there waiting as well. Is there any news yet?</p>
<p>wait listed candidates <em>could</em> hear as late as the week of I-Day. all that depends upon how many appointments were turned down.</p>
<p>The wait list will remain active until July 1.
Following that no appointments will be offered.</p>
<p>Applicants have already had to accept or decline their appointment.</p>
<p>If there are any openings, it will be due to other circumstances-
a late minute change of heart, an injury that prevents participation in plebe summer, grades that tank during the close of senior year, trouble of any kind-
all can de-rail someone due to report.</p>
<p>I will be honest here.
Very few are accepted from the wait list.
Do some get in?
Yes- but we are talking about a small handful- even single digits.</p>
<p>If it does not work out for this year, I would strongly urge your son to apply for next year, especially having gotten this far this cycle.</p>
<p>The wait is over - the letter came today indicating that my son would not be offered an appointment. Thank you , navy2010, we knew the odds weren’t great and he’s already accepted a NROTC (Marine) scholarship at a wonderful school. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
