Nice, but it seems these schools that favor military only do so if you're not from TX, lol. Meanwhile, I've gotten more love from TX schools in the form of another II, so guess I can't complain about it :D

Yeah but I think that’s a yield protection thing since tx residents are much more likely to go to a Texas school.

Maybe. They can send rejections prior to Oct 15, so it's not like they're waiting until then to let you know.

Oh , I am grateful !!! Trust me , I am very grateful . With my average scores and average grades (511 , 3.65, ORM) I was told that I shouldn’t expect anything till thanksgiving . I am still waiting from about 20 schools - dead silence .
 
I just had two dreams about today haha. In one it just kept getting later and everyone else was getting calls but me, and in the other they called and I answered but I couldn’t speak and they just moved on to someone else haha. What the hell.

WHOOP WHOOP! With 5 other II's is USU at the top of your list or are you hoping for another school?

I have one school higher, but they were my massive Hail Mary reach. I think they interviewed me by mistake lol

Dr. Saguil didn't tell me, but I am assuming with my 8 years in the Navy and that being my number one choice, I was selected Navy. Any news on you?!?! I know from last years thread he is calling for the next few days!

Nope. They haven't gotten to my app yet I think. The wait continues! Just being patient.

Hopefully I'll see you at ODS (unless you are prior commissioned).

I was a prior SWO, so no ODS for me, but definitely at orientation!

I was just remarking about being nervous for you all. You can sense the anticipation and nerves in the thread. I'm way too far out from applying to actually be nervous, lol! Just being supportive.

Just jumping in here. I've seen a bunch of you on other threads. I've had five interviews so far, with four acceptances and one I find out about next week. Very non-trad, vet. Thanks for the great insights here and on other threads, everyone!

4 II is great! 6 Rs seems like a lot if you don't look at the big picture. 6 Rs out of 42 schools is a great ratio. Hang in there!

With a work ethic like that, it is bound to show in your applications and the schools that value that will pick up on it immediately. You will end up at the right school for you and that is what matters. All you need is one acceptance and you are statistically ahead of the game at this point with 4 II's, so take the time to reassure yourself that you are getting in somewhere!

I know how you feel. I have 3 IIs, 3 holds, and 5 rejections, and I still have to hear from 21 schools. Some of the rejections are from the schools that I was very much invested in. It sucks. But think about it this way, you already have 4 IIs, and i am sure some of them, - maybe all, - might turn into acceptances soon. I used to be upset to, and then i talked to a lot of people, and turned out it is not very common to have this many IIs this early in the cycle. A lot of people get their first IIs closer to December, or even later. So you are actually doing REALLY well.

I’m curious your info source. SDN and Reddit would have us believe that if you don’t have at least 1 II by Thanksgiving you’re not doing well at all. As an applicant with 0 II at this point I would love to hear a different (supported) perspective.
