Sleep tight, fellow hopefuls. I have a feeling about tomorrow...
nope, nothing. Also can updates still show up after the "red banner" update times? I feel like when the update is over at the end of the week that we have to wait until the next week for changes, but I can't seem to get confirmation of this.Did anyone have an update or appointment show up in their portal today? No change here and didn't sleep much last night. Ugh
Yes, I have seen people get updates at random times. For instance, I read that some people received TWE's last Tuesday. I have also seen appointments on random days.nope, nothing.

Same here. I have not seen an appointment reported that has been issued within the last 3 weeks.Did anyone have an update or appointment show up in their portal today? No change here and didn't sleep much last night. Ugh
DS has not received these kind emails even though he has not accepted the appointment -- pending USNA's decision. He will accept USMA as soon as he gets TD from USNA. He does feel bad for hanging there for so long. My guess is that he has been doing some paper work for USMA such as police record, dental and immunization form for USMA which indicates the likelihood he will accept the appointment.DS has received a couple of emails/messages this week about his pending offer of appointment. If he isn't going to accept it, to go ahead and decline asap to open up the spot for someone else, which he plans on doing tonight, I think. I'm guessing he's not the only one receiving those messages, so hopefully more appointments will be forthcoming!
DS has been in contact with the Area FFR throughout the process and was very open and honest with him about where he'd been accepted and where he was leaning. I think he knew DS just finished his last college visit, so it's time to decide.DS has not received these kind emails even though he has not accepted the appointment -- pending USNA's decision.

Interesting !!! DS's FFR is a private high school head (principal). She knows our area school very well. During the interview last summer, she encouraged DS apply for a few top colleges for ROTC. Anyway, she was the first one to congratulate DS on his LOA (July) even before DS knew. In February DS met her at a DMV high school swimming champs (she had no kids of her own in the meet, obviously she is a big fan of high school swimming competition). She saw DS wearing "US Army West Point" sweater -- and asked "are you going ?" "most likely" DS replied. We have been pretty certain his fate on USNA application for awhile -- just have to confirm it !!!DS has been in contact with the Area FFR throughout the process and was very open and honest with him about where he'd been accepted and where he was leaning.

I'm super excited for your DS and his future plans.DS has been in contact with the Area FFR throughout the process and was very open and honest with him about where he'd been accepted and where he was leaning. I think he knew DS just finished his last college visit, so it's time to decide.

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 even Sundays.Yes, I have seen people get updates at random times.

I am also in the Northeast. So if I did not receive anything over the phone or some other form besides the portal this past week, I probably shouldn't expect anything today?DS received his appointment over the phone on a Wednesday, then the portal updated that Friday morning.

I'm not sure if they call every accepted candidate before the portal updates, but if so, that is expected either the afternoon on Tuesdays, or Wednesdays. They meet on Tuesdays (at least for the northeast, according to WP Admissions) to discuss the next round of appointments. Hope this helps.

I agree, that is usually the case. There have been some this year show up on Sundays and last year as well. One Mom I have talked with in the forums said her son was "eating a peep on Easter" when his appointment popped up on the WP portal.DS received his appointment over the phone on a Wednesday, then the portal updated that Friday morning.

I feel like I have read somewhere that during the busy times they meet more than once a week. Perhaps we are in the "busy" time and things might possibly happen more than once a week....I agree, that is usually the case. There have been some this year show up on Sundays and last year as well.

Yes, absolutelyMy DD already accepted Civil Prep. If slots open up, could she still receive an appointment this year?
