If a candidate has an LOA and a nomination has shown up in the USNA admissions portal online, how long is it usually until the appointment arrives in the mail?
Additionally, do the appointments come in the regular mail?
I am a LOA recipient for USMA and I received my nomination 2 weeks ago tomorrow. My BFE arrived yesterday so it only took USMA 2 weeks to process my nomination and send my offer. While I know that is USMA and USNA might be different, I thought I'f share my experience.
I had an LOA and my first nomination showed in my portal on Oct 29, and my medical waiver was cleared on Nov 15. One of my senators called me on Nov 16 to say the BFE was coming soon. The BFE arrived on Nov 30 and was dated Nov 24. So if it's been about two weeks/14 days, and you've got an LOA+noms, waivers, etc. then the appointment should be getting to you pretty soon!
It did take a loooong time for the nom to show up in the portal at USNA vs USMA, however, so total time was faster for USMA vs USNA (just one data point).
