I think it was more your WCS in the end that got you the Appointment. DS's FFR was less than communicative, would reply to emails one, maybe two weeks later, and yet DS received his appointment in January. Don't sell yourself short by saying you were the squeaky wheel, YOU DESERVED IT. Congrats!

Just received the letter about report times, it's based on last names this year.

For SLE you will not be drug tested. If you smoke on campus you will be kicked out and will not be able to apply for USMA as you will ruin your chances. You have an upperclass cadet in charge of your group at SLE, and they also write their review of you after the week is over which will come...

Congratulations!! I have been waiting and hoping for this news for you and your DS. So very happy for you!!

Congratulations fellow NJ appointee!

It depends how much higher the SAT scores went. If it's a significant jump over 700 in Math and English then you get more points awarded to your WCS. The final time DS took the SAT's, his score jumped 50 points and his state coordinator told him that put him significantly higher in his ranking.

I hope I'm wrong, but the portal usually updates the appointment and then BFE comes days if not a week later. That's how it's worked for every acceptance I've read, including DS's.

If you have an appointment, on the lefthand side there will be a box underneath where they write describing the status colors. It will say "Offered USMA Appointment" and will ask you to accept or decline. It is hard to miss.

My guess is they are waiting for the candidates declining their appointments to trickle in so they can look at the remaining candidates to appoint.

Not sure if you've all checked on the Self-Updating Appointment list, but looks like there were candidates last week and today who've received appointments. So the next round of candidates should have heard something today.

DS received his appointment over the phone on a Wednesday, then the portal updated that Friday morning. For appointments, that's the only way I've seen them updated, on Fridays. However, after accepting the appointment, I have received notifications through the portal on Mondays, Saturdays, and...

Congratulations and best of luck with your decisions!

Good luck! I hear candidates with multiple noms open up other noms to be used for other candidates to fill slots. Fingers crossed for you!

I stand corrected. DS received an email on a Saturday from a staffer and they corresponded back and forth a few times, and today as well. I guess they are even working weekends.

We waited about a week for DS's to arrive. I think it depends how close you live to WP where they are mailing from. They mail USPS

No they do not work during spring break.

Have you reached out to your Field Force Rep?

It's good in the sense they reviewed your file, but better jump on fixing that so they don't count you out for the next round of reviews.

Under the USMA forum, search for the 'USMA Class of 2028 Appointment List - Self Updating'. Then copy the list above yours, click reply and paste it to your response.
