Same for my DS. Hurry up and wait is the name of the game

I saw last year that next mid-March was where a lot of appointments were given out.

Skyhawk · Feb 18, 2022

Seeing a lot of Saturdays and Tuesdays on the appointment list, maybe they are days to look forward to? Idk, just thinking of anything to pass the time.

It sucks waiting. I just want to be accepted so that my long-term goal is complete.

I sat two months on a medical DQ so to be honest this type of waiting feels great lol!

Portal updated! Good luck all!

Patience is the hard part! My college transcripts are still this very scary red X on my portal. It freaks me out sometimes

When I sent my college transcript through parchment, it never reached USAFA. I would suggest mailing it to admissions.

Hey I did a thing! Also would everyone like me to add people who I know but aren't on the forums? I know all the information for them. But I won't update if we want to just keep it forum members

From the appointment thread--bringing it over here.

Personally, I don't see why not? It helps us be thorough and would be an extreme help to data junkies.

@FlyFalcon

I have no vested interest here, but adding non-forum members (what would you call them, FutureDoolie1, FutureDoolie2…) may be cumbersome and may introduce inaccuracy.

You could certainly make a post in the thread, saying something like “I have personal knowledge of 5 people in my school district in the state of X who have been offered appointments, and I don’t think they are forum members. I believe they have these kinds of noms among them: ______ (if you have first-hand accurate knowledge).” Whatever you know to be a fact, which doesn’t reveal information that may identify them.

A simple post like that gives additional insight as to how many appointment offers may be out there, nom sources in a general way and reassurance the flow is occurring.

And congratulations!

Anyone from CA receive their Senatorial nominations yet? Haven't heard a whisper from them.

My son received a nominatin from Senator Padilla. It is in his portal but he was not notified from his office.

Understood hence why I asked thank you for the input and the congratulations

Congrats to the Falcon Scholars reporting this week!! Been following several of you the past year, especially the NWPers. Your fellow NWP upperclass peeps will be looking out for you.

Today is 20 days and a wakeup until recognition for the '25ers.
