USAFA Waiting Thread C/O 2027

Alabama here... My son is also waiting. We have a friend, and his daughter was given an appointment last week. District 5.
 
I haven’t seen anyone post about an appointment in close to a week! Does anyone know why that is? Maybe there will be another large appointment push this week?
 
I'm from KY and I received an appointment on march 8th
Where in KY? When you have more posts you can PM me if you’d like. I’m in KY and,y son is a C1C graduating June 1, 2023 if you have any questions feel free to reach out. Also, add yourself to the appointment list.

Thank you very much for the offer. I'm from district 2. I don't know how this form works, so I don't know how to add myself to the list sorry. I am sure it is not difficult.

Congratulations on your appointment. I added you to the appointment list, you just need to put your nominating source (sen, rep, rotc, pres..) and appointment from (college, HS, self-prep..), as I left those blank.
 
Hi

No big 'Monday Traunch' of notifications today?

This thread has been quiet. I was hoping to see some more activity. My DS received an email today from Greystone Prep. It feels like a precursor to a TWE but it could just be a complete coincidence. Did anyone else receive this email?

Nope! I’d say coincidence. But without a doubt, I’d say it’s a longshot to get an appointment now. Not saying it’s over, but getting close. If a lot of people choose to decline their appointments I’d say there’s a better chance, but I don’t think the odds are in our favor at this time.
We’re just working hard on Plan B and hoping for the best. I wish everyone here the best!
 
Well,

One man's comfort... lol. I don't know, either. I'm just chewing my nails to the quick over waiting for the news. I don't know what all the abbreviations stand for (DD, DS, etc), buy my son is far more calm about this than I am! He got the 'NO' from Caltech yesterday. Still waiting on USAFA, Princeton and Yale. He wants USAFA badly, so that's where our hopes are. His SAT wasn't spectacular at 1230, but his grades are solid and he's got a pretty cool life-story, so...

I appreciate the dialogue here.

1230 SAT will be tough for Princeton and Yale. However SA look at things differently, good GPA and leadership qualities and athleticism very important and also nail it with an awesome interview.

Hi

I hope you're wrong about that. May I ask what you're basing this opinion on? Have they gotten through their stack already? In my DS's case, the admissions people told us last week that they just sent his file to the board who decides. They also mentioned late April as the time to start looking for the TWE. Did you hear otherwise?

Nothing official. Asked the ALO his personal opinion, and statistically, the odds were lower after the big appointment drops but not to give up! Seems like good common sense to me. He’s heard of applicants even getting the TWE then later getting a last minute appointment. In other words, it ain’t over til it’s over. He has always advised to always plan for the worst and hope for the best, you don’t want to be left without good options if an appointment wasn’t offered.

Every day that goes by it’s less likely. Not giving up by any means, but also doing a couple of college tours next week. Worst case we spent a few bucks that we didn’t need to. Best of luck to you, let’s hope for some good news soon!
 
Is there a specified day or time they update portals? Have talked to friends who have gotten appointments and have been looking for those days and times, but it's been a waiting game since December. First time posting here
 
The last 3 years have each seen about 190 offers of appointment reported on this forum. Since there are only 115 reported for this year, it would seem likely that there are a significant number of offers still be be reported.

Stay positive, but keep your contingency plans in place.
 
Looking at the updated table for appointments today, it seems like anyone from OH is still in it for the most part. Assuming equal distributions of users per state, only 3 so far have reported appointments and they were all in 2022. The primary wave will probably be coming soon then for anybody waiting in OH.

Tigers2023- I would seem to disagree with that. My application file was just reviewed by the board mid last week, only 6 days ago! I bet many people are in the same boat, not hearing because their file has not even been reviewed.

RiceCube- Im in the same boat as you! There has been very minimum input from people in PA. When I spoke to admissions at a prior time, the lady said that "they haven't made it to PA yet." This was just a few weeks ago. Hearing that, it really does seem like most of the appointments go out by state. Especially seeing multiple of each state on the appointment list pretty much at the same date. Example TX.

I really do believe that there is another appointment push because of the delay of application reviews and the seemingly lack of input from many of the Northeastern States.
 
Still waiting here our sons friend from the same school received an appointment for usafa but he is still undecided.it was a hit to our son the are using the same nomination source but no twe yet so the other kid is holding out for usna. He did receive a three year rotc scholarship today so we are moving in the right direction
