    Friday appointments

    DS also got a phone call on Friday the 13th from senator who nominated him. This was his second attempt also. Last year applied too late for congressional nomination. And ended up no nomination at all. Went to 4 year institution on AFROTC scholarship. Large Detachment. Took advantage of all...

    Senator Call?

    My guess is you're in!! ...DS received same kind of phone call on Friday too. It was his nominating senator calling "to be the first one to congratulate him on his appointment to the United States Air Force Academy!" Hopefully you'll here those same wonderful words today!

    Where did you see this? I just checked USAFA Admissions on twitter and didn't see anything. Just want to make sure I'm following the right account :) Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

    For those of you still waiting...

    I'm sure the 10% figure that I saw was a complete estimate based on historic info ... how could anyone know for sure? Point being that just because an appointment isn't listed on the Appointee Thread doesn't mean anything really, as not everyone is participating in the forum/thread. I too am...

    I haven't noticed anyone saying they have received an appointment since the "wave" of appointments from 3/20. I agree that there have to be more coming.

    For those of you still waiting...

    I saw somewhere on this forum that there is about 10% participation on the forum. And there are only 90+ appointees listed on the 2018 Appointment Thread. My DS has two classmates that have received appointments, neither of which is listed on the Appointment Thread.

    For those of you still waiting...

    My DS's ALO said he would find out before her. However, a friend of a friend of a friend who know someone in Admissions, said my DS's "file" was in the "last group" for review/decisions end of March/beginning of April. My DS does not have a nomination yet. Missed opportunity for...

    Newer Member - most stressful time of my life...I think

    Hi all, I've been a member for a few weeks now. This forum website is wonderful, but also overwhelming. My DS has been awarded a 4 year Type 7 AF ROTC scholarship. All of his college choices, however, are out of state, so he will be converting it to a 3 year Type 2 scholarship. Wants to be a...

    Still haven't heard

    Unlike many USAFA candidates, my DS didn't realize the USAFA was what he really wanted until October 2013. Had planned to apply for AFROTC scholarship and attend 4 year traditional school at a highly academic institution. After discussing the Academy with alumni, and going on a tour, he came...

    AFROTC Board Results January

    So excited yesterday at 2:08pm Mountain Time, when the portal finally updated and said Congratulations, 4 year Type 7! Didn't check it after that, until this morning .... same result as many people. The portal has now changed back to the original message (Like the "congratulations" never...
