I noticed my Naval Academy application status reads 'completed under review.' What does this mean in terms of where I am in the admissions process? Any insights or experiences would be super helpful!
When you see the 'completed under review' status on your Naval Academy application, it basically means that your application has been received in full and it's now being looked at or evaluated by the admissions department. Your application is no longer awaiting any materials or inputs from you - that's the 'completed' part; the 'under review' part is indicating that someone at the Academy is actively assessing your application file against their admission criteria.
This status doesn't provide insights about where you stand in terms of admission likelihood, nor how much longer you'll have to wait for a decision. The timeline for admissions review can vary greatly from one applicant to another, due to a variety of factors including the volume of applications and the specific decision plan you applied under (such as regular decision, early action, etc.).
Keep an eye out for any changes in your application’s status or direct communications from the Academy. They will be the one to provide you with any updates on your admissions decision. And remember, patience is key during this phase, as it can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months for a decision to be rendered. Best of luck!
