I was in in same boat - LOA and nomination. I got a call from my congressman (CA-49) yesterday who informed me of my appointment. He also mentioned that I will be emailed within the next week by admissions. If the appointments are done in batches, that would lead me to believe that yours will...
Although not anywhere near the level of concern your parents have for you, my parents were initially hesitant about me going to a service academy (mostly safety concerns in the military). However, after they saw how consistently dedicated I was, how hard I worked, and how much I changed just...
I believe you are correct. My application was submitted in late August. I got better ACT scores and submitted updates to my file in November and received an LOA a few weeks later.
I have received an LOA and my portal updated today with a nomination from CA-49 :). The listed actions on my portal is "none." How long will it take USNA to pair it up and send an appointment? Thanks!
Nothing here. Did get a call from my admissions officer a couple hours ago to make sure I was contacted by the track coach. Anyone else receive a call today? I'm beginning to think that coaches are getting their remaining athletes in first this round and other non-recruits will be reviewed and...
When applying to service academies, leadership experience is key. Academics and athletics mean pretty little without leadership experience you can point to. That said NROTC is a great demonstration of your commitment and leadership development. Your heavy workload and improved test scores also...

Got a call during school on the 15th. I'm on the west coast (pacific time). Bears den should update on the 16th (Friday) after 5pm eastern time (2pm pacific) for those in this round.
