To answer your question drsnipes, the national waiting list has nothing to do with region. Rather, it encompases every fully qualified candidate without a nomination. Last year, which was the toughest year to get in, there were approx. 700 people on the NWL. Unfortunately, if you are academically qualified you cannot be admitted to the prep school. However, there is hope if the friend who is going to chair force was the principal nominee in your district. Then, if you were ranked right behind him by the nomination commitee of your congressman, you could possibly get an appointment. Last year, I was the principal nominee in my district and was almost positive I had the appointment. However, a 300 pound football player was admitted over me because the football coach wanted him. Anyway, good luck and I hope that answers your question.
