When will I hear back?

<p>I finished my application in November, have received two nominations, and am medically qualified. I was just wondering when you guys think I'll heat back.</p>

<p>You probably will not hear before mid-April. At least that is when most candidates will get notified. However, some already have gotten their appointments, but those are either the best athletes or otherwise truly exceptional. Everyone else waits a while.</p>

<p>USNA has rolling admissions, so you can hear back anytime…I wouldn’t go so far as to say every candidate who receives an appointment before April is necessarily “truly exceptional”…I think there are a few factors that go into it.</p>

<p>DS’s B&G Officer said that USNA admissions is rolling, but most will hear in mid-April or later. He said some will hear in May. He told us to be prepared to pay a deposit at another school even before you hear from Navy because it is a possibility.</p>

<p>The final date will be April 15th.</p>

<p>Patrickbuhr, Hold tight my DS had his application completed at the end of June. I know for a few kids in our area that have been in the system for some time now as well. I just saw some of these parents and I was surprised to hear that many of them have been denied. One of these kids was No.1 in his class, one of the things that may have hurt is he had no athletics that he was part of. </p>

<p>We also know three families that have children at the Academy. One is a firstie, one is a youngster and one is a plebe. They all said the same thing, most of the class will be notified in Feb and March. If you don’t get word by April 1st you might want to think about your “B” or “C” plan. Three sources that do not know each other, each saying the same thing.</p>

<p>In advance if by chance you are appointed, “I” day is July first. </p>

<p>And now the giggle moment. Our DS at the start of the year was going to grad on June 11th. With all the snow we got this year our DS will grad on June 20, that will only allow him 10 days of freedom if he was to get appointed. Oh almost forgot, there is more snow forcasted. The reality of being a parent this may be a good thing, less time to think about it!</p>

<p>Good luck to all… </p>

<p>Glido,</p>

<p>Hope all is going well for yours. Almost there, all the best!!</p>
