Does the fact that I completed my application late January mean I will be the last to hear from the academy or is it possible I will find out in March?
Last year the bulk of the RA appointments started coming out around the middle of March.I thought early March was the norm in past years. Any appointees from previous years remember when they heard?
DS is Doolie in Class of 2018. He heard mid-March (St. Patty's day) after being deferred from EA. Hang in there and good luck to all.I thought early March was the norm in past years. Any appointees from previous years remember when they heard?
I heard my "Yes" in late April, but was a special case since I was a Falcon Scholar at prep school and we are normally some of the last notified. Senior year of high school I got my "No" in late March. So what I'm trying to say is you will almost certainly hear in March or April. It's almost over!I thought early March was the norm in past years. Any appointees from previous years remember when they heard?
Yeah, my DD is one of them. Appointment to USAFA back in October (EA) only to be offered an appointment to USNA a few weeks ago which she accepted the next day. Hello Annapolis. Getting used to the motto of AF "Grad" - Navy Dad.As hard as it is to believe, the air force academy is not everyone's "First Choice" for college. The academy has gotten better and giving out appointments, but a lot of appointees will still turn down the appointment; and then they'll be offering to someone else. Up until just a couple years ago, the normal year, they would OFFER around 1700 appointments because they knew that 400-500 would turn it down; and they'd end up with the 1200+/- they wanted. Because of funding issues and stricter rules on giving appointments, they don't offer as many at one time. But they will still receive a lot of individuals turning down their appointments. For the majority of the 10,000-12,000 who initially apply to the academy, probably close to half had the academy as their FIRST choice for college. I've had quite a few applicants change their mind.
