You can add my son to the list too. He got word from his BGO tonight after his "admission status change date" was updated today. Just awaiting the blue binder! Hoorah!

i have a question, even if this might not be the best place, but i don't know where else to ask it. i have a friend whose son was rejected from USNA last year, as an applying hs senior. he is now trying for the second time, with a semester under his belt and getting rave reviews/letters of rec from his ROTC superior. he doesn't tell his mom much, so i thought you guys would know...when should a TRANSFER student hear re. an appointment? when is the deadline for this kind of application?the posts here relate only to hs grads, i think? thanks in advance.

I believe there are some college applicants on the forum.
But for future reference, college applicants to service academies are not "transfers," as the service academies don't allow "transfers." Every cadet or mid must start at the bottom (plebe/doolie/swab) and complete all four years regardless of how many credits they already have.

thanks for writing, and yes, i know about the start-from-the-beginning aspect of any "transfer". would just like any facts from anyone on this thread who knows about this process!

Hi, Happymom,

There are several interesting threads in this forum about post-HS application to the SAs. Here's one link to an earlier thread that may be of interest to you:

Transfering to the Naval Academy

Since USNA has rolling admissions, it's hard to say when a particular candidate will hear about whether they will receive an appointment or not. Someone more qualified than I am (any of you BGOs....) may be able to shed more light on that process. I believe it's true that everyone will hear something between now and May 1st, some sooner than others. Good luck to your candidate!

Question about notification of offer of NAPS........

How does that come? In a regular business size envelope? Is if from the Naval Academy or from NAPS? Is it folded? Is it 8x11? Color? Outside return address? Does it looked like a rejection letter from the academy??????

Just trying to prepare myself for when my daughter gets something! Everyone gets something at some point, even if it is a rejection, right?

My daughter's BGO told her that last year or maybe a couple of years ago, one of his candidate got a notice that he was not given an appointment. Then a few weeks later was offered NAPS. Talk about a roller coaster ride.....and my impression (and I might be wrong) was that there was no indication in the rejection letter that NAPS would be offered. Talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse in one breath.

We're hoping that she at least gets NAPS. She is just barely 17 and I thought I read here or somewhere that the academy is not big on appointing candidates who will not be 18 by the time plebe summer starts.

Anyway, I'd like to know what we might be in for if she DOESN'T get a big envelope with a blue binder in it!

The offer to NAPS just looks like a larger envelope, but not as big as one that you would get for an appointment. About 1.5 times the size and it still says Department of the Navy.
