From my knowledge of Greystone, they have only been at 2 different universities since their existence. Curious why you say they "move like the wind".

I've heard from a few that have gotten e-mails and a few that haven't. No rhyme or reason from what I can see. Nothing like having to keep waiting when you know a decision has been made. Maybe check your spam if you haven't yet.

Have you clicked on "Review"? I would think that's where the decision would be.

Thank you! I assumed that was probably the case, but wasn't sure.

Last week my DS's portal had a few changes take place (X's to checks, etc). Since then we have noticed a "Last Updated XX/XX/XXXX (insert time)" a few times each day. Is this an automatic thing that just takes place in the system periodically throughout the day, or does that mean they could be...

My DS is a college re-applicant and current Prepper. This wait is all too familiar and seems to be even more stressful than last year. He has solid Plans B & C in place, which are both great options, but USAFA is his #1 goal so hopefully those appointments roll in soon. Good luck to all hopefuls!

:bump8ls: Just felt like this needed a bump since there are so many posts in the 2025 Appointment thread that have a better place to be than there.

How did I not even think to look that up? 😂 I wish the answer to all of my questions was this easy. Thanks!

This may seem like a silly question but is there an equivalent to Boys State for females? Mostly in regards to how SA's view it on applications, but also in lines with the program.

Letter of Assurance Make sure to check the acronym list for anything you are unsure of. It's a big help because these forums are full of acronyms. https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/the-acronym-list.11568/

That made me laugh because that's exactly what our Congressman told my son 🤣
