Can you appeal a rejection from USNA?

Considering what we have heard about the number of applicants, etc this year…I cannot imagine that USNA has the time to consider an appeal of a rejection. The list of kids (on the other forum), who at least superficially appear top-notch who have received TWE’s is pretty extensive this year. It seems quite a few darned good candidates have received TWE’s and many will be re-applying.



Assuming the appeal was indeed successful, how was it appealed? A bevy of DC lawyers with coordinated brief cases camped on the front steps of Leahy Hall at 8AM on Monday morning? Or a nice letter asking the regional coordinator to reconsider? Before the days of waiting lists? On the morning that they had just received a letter from a candidate who was not accepting his appointment to NAPS? Where someone made the decision that, since there was an opening, and since she did appear highly dedicated, and her package was NAPS eligible, they decided to give her a chance to prove herself? Remember, this was the era of the lone rejectee who showed up on I-Day and so shocked everyone that he also was admitted, becoming a candidate legend forever. If that happened this summer, he would probably be arrested.

A lot more information is necessary before one can make logical conclusions.
