    arewethereyet: I am starting to wonder if perhaps USAFA is releasing appointments to MOCs by state. I noticed on the thread that MN, CA, and GA are all without notification by those people on this forum from those states. Maybe I'm just holding onto a thread of hope, but something is better...

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    The longer we go without hearing anything from our MOC, the more concerned I am becoming. I know it has been said to be proud of making it this far, but anticipating dealing with the heartbreak doesn't make it any easier. I know all MOC's don't call, but ours has been really good about direct...

    Class of 2016 Appointments

    I realize that each Academy performs their appointment notifications differently, but the USAFA appointment board is starting to light up. Wish there was more activity on this one as well.

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    Okay, so if mailings go out today, then we should start hearing something on this board by Friday. As we live across the nation, we will start getting anxious then and waiting for Saturday or Monday for something to arrive. I feel like I am anticipating the birth of my DD, not her candidate...

    GA Nomination Question

    My DD received two nominations to the Military Academy at West Point and one to USAFA from MOC Scott, but we have yet to hear anything on any of the nominations. The waiting is the worst part.

    Georgia Nominations for Class of 2016

    spartan919: It is an anxious time for all. Good luck on an appointment. I would contact your Congressman's office first and if you do not get satisfaction, then contact your Liason Officer. As for GA-08, we are still waiting, but the nominations have been delivered to USMA. The GA-08 on...

    Congressional Nomination Question

    Thanks. She actually received the call earlier this month (which I thought was very impressive that a US Representative would call in person), and the USAFA portal changed before Christmas. We were just starting to get concerned about the USMA portal still not showing the nomination and didn't...

    Congressional Nomination Question

    My Cadet Candidate received a telephone call from our US Representative and was told that she was given a nomination to both the USMA and to USAFA. The nomination has appeared on the USAFA portal, but not on the USMA portal. I understand from another thread that the USMA will not consider the...

    VP Nominations

    This may have already been addressed on this forum in another thread and if so, I apologize for the redundancy. I have a few questions regarding Vice Presidential nominations. 1. When are they issued? 2. How many are typically given in a year? 3. What sort of candidate normally...

    Received a nomination today!

    I understand that USAFA is waiting to issue appointments until Spring, but I was wondering how this will effect those Candidates that have nominations to more than one Academy. USMA is issuing appointments on a rolling basis and from observing posts on their forum, they are contacting those...

    Multiple nominations

    As of yesterday, make that TWO Senatorial (neither the primary) and one from our Representative.:thumb: Regardless of the ultimate outcome, I am a proud father of a Cadet Candidate?

    What does this letter mean?

    This is incorrect. However, while the candidate DOES receive a legal nomination, it does NOT guarantee an apointment. It does provide the candidate with an opportunity to receive an appointment if he/she is fully qualified, either by selection in the slate by the Appointment Committee at West...

    Multiple nominations

    So, when a candidate goes before the Admissions Committee, there are no additional points added to the overall composite score for having been nominated by two MOC at either the initial consideration or if placed into the pool?

    Multiple nominations

    We have just been informed that my Cadet Candidate has the honor of having received a nomination for the USMA from both a Senator and our Representative. The Senatorial was not a primary and our Representative did not rank his nominees. My question for this forum is how does having more than...

    Class of 2016 Appointments

    USMA 2016: Congratulations! and thanks for the clarification. As I said, I am new to all of this and learning the ropes of the process is quite an undertaking. I think it is fantastic that the Senator's office took the time to contact you personally and it speaks volumes of the importance...

    Class of 2016 Appointments

    I received a call yesterday from Senator about my official offer of appointment! I am honored to receive an offer of appointment to the USMA Class of 2016. I'm am somewhat new at this, so please forgive my ignorance, but can a Senator offer an appointment to USMA? I understand that they can...
