[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a kid applying to one or more this year? How is the application process going? [/quote]
(I just responded to the other SA thread on this board re nominations.)
My DC is applying and has everything except a nomination.  She has interviewed with her congressperson's team, and we are just waiting for the decision. She also has an interview with one senator (senator's team) lined up; she has not heard from the other.

Anyone else's kid applying?[/quote]

Do you know when they find out? I know a kid who is hoping for the Naval Academy, and I'm hopeful for them! [/quote]

It's a complicated process with so many moving parts.  As others have noted, check out the Service Academies website for more info. and even rolling lists of self-reported acceptances.  But in a nutshell, it takes a while for the WP admissions team to paint a picture of the incoming class, juggling nominations, athletic recruits, URMs, etc.  For the DMV its especially complicated because there are so many super competitive candidates and only one person can come from a single congress person, but simply not getting the position that is for example set for Cardin, doesn't mean that you are out of luck.  There are ways an academy can "find" a nomination for a stellar candidate (for example from a district with very few qualified applicants).  It is not unheard of for example for two TJ kids from the same congressional district to end up both getting accepted.  The first one as early as August/September, the second as late as April/May the following year.[/quote]
