USAFA Class of 2021 Appointments

Any appointments today?
Not that I know of. Do we know when the Review Boards meet? I know the USCGA meets on Thursday and we usually hear of appointments Thursday and Friday. Just wondering if the USAFA has a similar process. Hoping my DS hears soon :)

I'm not quite sure about when they meet but I know they usually update application portals every wendsday morning.
 
I believe that the USAFA board meets on Monday but I'm not completely sure. I know appointments usually go out on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Same here. My DD is waiting to hear from USCGA (dad class of 83), USNA and USAFA. The wait is harder on me. Can't come soon enough.

Sounds so familiar. My DS has applications at the exact same SA's as your DD. Yes, the wait is pretty tough.
 
ParkMom/DS2/No LOA/Appt. Feb 8, 2017/WV-01/Senators Manchin and Capito

DS2 received a phone call from both of our Senators on Wednesday afternoon with the amazing news. DS1 is a 2016 (Klepto!) grad and we are excited about the opportunity for our youngest to continue the Long Blue Line!

Congratulations from the Northern Panhandle!
 
Congratulations!!
Our DS has received appointments from USCGA and USMA but no word yet from USAFA (he received two nominations). DS is fully qualified and extra qualified on the academic side. Is there a date by which we could safely assume an appointment from USAFA will not be coming...? Thanks in advance.
 
It seems like no appointments this week? I am getting more worried as time keeps going.

sportsfan - I know, it's hard not to! We are in the same boat, playing the waiting game. It seems like the USNA appointment thread has 100+ offers of appointment, USMA has 70+ and USAFA only 40 something. Trying to be optimistic that USAFA will be sending out a flood of appointment offers very soon. :)

Like many others, I am still anxiously waiting for any news, but perhaps the lack of appointments this week indicates admissions is getting ready for a larger divulgment of appointments than the slow trickle that has been taking place. I mean we are QUICKLY approaching March and this is the first week of 2017 that no appointments have been reported on the forum. Of course, this doesn't mean none were offered, rather just not reported. This is merely just an observation that could very well be wrong. Best of luck to everyone still waiting!
 
If you do a search of past years appointments, it looks like the second Wednesday of March has had a large number of appointments. If this stays true, I would expect March 15th to be a big day for appointments.
 
On your appointment letter, what is the date?
Congrats.... my DS was nominated by Sen. Nelson as well and Congressman Grayson.... we are still waiting... curious if you received Sen. Rubio nom? DS received a letter saying that since Sen. Nelson already nominated him, Sen. Rubio would not. I guess that's normal?? Congrats again... you should be very proud!!!
 
Good Afternoon my fellow Enlisted Members and high school/college students!

I'm currently a C3C at the Academy. I was a prior myself who applied to the Academy through the LEAD program. I was accepted into the academy directly. I also went to college for a year doing ROTC. I usually visit the forum around this time to answer any questions that you might have. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Bonne Chance!
 
March 8 is 2nd Wed this year . . . but yes; I expect lots will be done by mid March. USMA surprised us early so still hoping for the same at USAFA; lots of logistics involved to visit 2 SAs overnight etc etc. Even a few days is a great help.

I certainly understand the anticipation and excitement as you wait to hear. With that in mind, I offer two comments that I hope will offer a little understanding and peace of mind.

1. Recalling the Class of 2020 appointment thread it appeared that there was only about 10%-20% of the total class that particpated in this forum based on that list. (The last 2020 listing had 139 appointements noted in June of 2016; there were 1142 Basics that started I-Day) I would guess that a much higher percentage of people don't know about or participate in this forum. So using the appointment list on here probably isn't a good indicator of the total number of appointments, where the overall process stands, etc.
2. FWIW, my DS didn't receive his notification until the beginning of April. There's still a lot of time to go before appointments "dry up", if you will. I've even heard stories of appointments being offered just days before I-Day, so there is always hope! Or maybe in other words it is difficult to predict what will happen. Hang in there!

My husband was called two weeks before report day for the USCGA '83 so it does happen. He accepted and retired 30 years later. Happy ending. Hoping my DD does not have to wait that long but she would gratefully accept if so.
