I'm hoping to apply to the US Naval Academy and was wondering how the admission notification timeline works. When can applicants generally expect to receive acceptance letters or any other decision updates?
The US Naval Academy operates according to a rolling admission process. This means they send out admission decisions as they review complete applications rather than waiting until after a specific deadline.
Once your application is complete, you can typically expect to hear back within a few weeks. The Northern and Western Naval Recruitment commands generally complete their valuations by late January or early February, while the Southern command completes theirs by the end of February.
However, the latest you should receive your decision is by April 15th. It's also important to note that official appointments are delivered by mail, so you'll want to keep an eye on your mailbox around these times. Best of luck with your application!
