My son got a nomination from a MOC, then an LOA but was previously DQ'd medically...I can't imagine they give him an LOA if they weren't serious about also giving him a waiver but who knows...

My son just got DQ'd by DODmerb yesterday so no news is better than bad news

Son got notice of his Senator nomination interview in early Dec . Looks like about 40-45 students vying for this senator's nomination slots (so approx. 1 in 4 chance of a nomination)...will be done via Zoom...

So my son's portal also says complete pending review...except his app isn't complete....still missing some items especially nom...is it a glitch?

Wow...end of Oct was it for nomination submittals here...package was in months ago, but the letters of recommendation came down to the wire...wow, son managed to corral all the teachers to get them in so now he has all 4 nomination streams ready for Dec interviews...

I think it is the end of Nov for the kit, check your portal...should have a deadline there.

Not official, but I believe for the Air Force Academy, only the candidate kit is due in Nov...the rest is due in Jan. WP is all due in Jan...no advance deadline.

It was after the interview concluded...he came during dinner

Lol...we offered home cooked carne asada tacos...took a lot for him to decline and he was smelling it... but all good.

Son got his interview and it went about an hour and 20 minutes...I know duration is not a true metric of the officer's opinion of the interview, but I imagine it is a good sign that the talk went on past an hour...and my son asked some very good questions that the officer never heard before...

Son just got an LOE with an overnight stay offer...said he was a competitive candidate...

That is a good point, the Admission officer said something about no changes afyer submission but it was more implied/vague rather than a bright red line statement. I'll have him reach out to ask if he can add it and they can say yes or no.

This is a very important question. Son has been trying to get the application submitted so he would not be stuck doing everything last minute and blowing a deadline. After he submitted, he got a national award that we would like to update his application with, but we heard that final is final.
