Has anyone who received an appointment this week (either by phone call or AEP invite email) seen an update in their Bears Den?
I'm wondering the same thing! I got an email congratulating me on my appointment to CGAS and then a correction email congratulating me on my appointment to USCGA as well as a phone call the same day. Both the email and the phone call said I should see a decision updated in my Bears den portal, but nothing's been updated since the correspondences on Friday.Thank you! I’m curious about the people who received appointments this week, either by hearing from their admissions counselor or an email inviting them to an AEP event, if their portal has been updated to reflect their appointment yet?
DS got the same notification (CGAS then corrected to appointment). Also spoke with AO afterwards to clarify what was going on with all that Nothing in Bear's Den. Is there some way you are supposed to officially accept the appointment?Thank you!

Once Bear's Den updates, there will be a link to an appointment letter. In the appointment letter, there's a link to accept or decline. This is not an official accept or decline, but will trigger them to send the BWE with the appointment certificate and all the paperwork necessary to officially accept.DS got the same notification (CGAS then corrected to appointment).

Just thinking out loud...I know it's typical for Friday to be the day when Bear's Den updates. Considering it seemed last Friday was they day many of you were getting correction emails regarding the communication snafu, I wonder if maybe you missed last Friday's window and it'll be THIS Friday before it updates.
This is what it will probably look like. The decision links are still live for 2027, but funny, it now shows as 2028. It just goes to show how sort of tied together and automated the systems in admissions are, which can be good or bad! I can easily see how mistakes can happen due to database management issues.

Is April 1st, the last day for appointments to come out? We are still waiting for an appointment.Not many days left
Thursday, Good Friday, Saturday, Easter Sunday and 4/1!
I know its not over until its over, but I really wish I had already received an appointment by now. At least I know by 4/1 its either Plan A or commit to Plan B.
Most years they pull at least some people from the waitlist. 4 years ago (CGA class of 2024), they didn't pull anyone.I did read in the application information packet that 100-125 applicants each year are offered a spot on the waitlist. I have very mixed feelings about my DS being offered that.
