I just received a Letter of Assurance to the Air Force Academy for the class of 2020 this morning (best day ever). Assuming I receive a nomination, how long will I be waiting until I receive my offer of appointment? Also, has anyone else heard from USAFA? Thanks!
 
How did you receive the LOA? Was it in prtal under correspondence?

Congratulations!
 
brovol, I received an email this morning saying there was correspondence from admissions on my portal. Thank you!
 
Congrats! Did you have your application completed? And when was your deadline?
 
Yes - my application was completed. My deadline was Nov 1! I am very excited!
 
Mine was completed on Nov. 9, and I had to receive a waiver (which came back in 2 weeks).

Lef9820 and aka 1998, to what deadline are you referring?
The Air Force Academy gives candidates individual deadlines by which they need to complete their application. I've heard earlier deadlines are given to more competitive candidates. Overall, I think the staggered deadline system is used so that the Academy can review applications at a steady rate, rather than receive hundreds of apps at once.

Wow, didn't know that. Do the other SA's have this staggered deadline format too?
 
@aka1998 Awesome, maybe I will see you there. I am waiting to hear back from other Academies so I haven't made my decision yet. Congratulations though, sounds like you got your first choice!!

No, only Air Force. USNA and USMA have set application deadlines, but the earlier the better.

Hope to see you there! Good luck with the other academies!
