Portal Access Down?

Congrats to all receiving appointments. I know you are all proud and excited. I wish you all the best of luck. Still waiting here in NJ but it appears it won't happen. Senators slate was just filled. There's still the Congressman slate but it may have been filled for all I know. We have a Presidential nomination but I'm not to optomistic about that. I just wish they would give us the TWE already and end the suffering. Haha. Not really suffering, just agonizing. But I know we are not the only ones. For all those still waiting, you're not alone. Best of luck to all.
Same here in DE. Still no update (good or bad). Sitting on pins and needles. It would be nice to know one way or the other.

How did you find out the senators slates were full? Did you just call the office or something?

No. I saw an update on here From someone who received an appointment via Senator Booker. My DS did not receive a nomination from our other Senator but as far as I know that slate is still open. We did receive a nomination from our congressman but have not seen nor heard anything about that slate yet as far as being filled. Still playing the waiting game.
 
Okay thanks! I'm getting down knowing that I received two nominations and still not hearing. I just wish they would send that TWE so I could just move on already!

Yup. I feel the same way. I wish you all the best. Hopefully you get the appointment. Hang in there.
 
My DS also received one email Saturday. We assumed it was a TWE since he did not get a congressional nomination. However, the email stated This message contains important information about your offer of appointment. Now that we can check the portal, it says he was given an LOA. So confusing. Why would they issue DS an LOA at this time, when all nominations would have already been submitted? Any insight would be welcome!! We will definitely be making a phone tomorrow :)
birdsnest2021, did you guys get any information today about the LOA. When DS called today they were not especially helpful. He does not qualify for a presidential nomination as we are not military or rotc. He already applied to the 4 likely - 2 senator, 1 congressional, and VP. His admissions counselor seemed to think there was nothing left to try, but I can't figure out why they would send out an LOA at this stage of the game when most of the congressional slates would have been resolved. Any new info from your call?

So what you're saying they could not explain why your DS got the LOA?

My son called today and they were very helpful once he got in touch with his counselor (others were not knowledgable of the situation). They said that the board reviewed his application and wanted him at USAFA. :) So they are going to work towards getting him a nomination from a congressman (assumes other nominees declined their nom and it can get re-assigned) or from VP when those come out in May. I'm sorry to hear they weren't as helpful or positive with your DS today. I agree that it doesn't make sense to send out an LOA at this time if there isn't hope of a nomination. If nothing else, I think the LOA would be a signal to the VP that they want your DS and a nomination would be possible. Our fingers are crossed for all still waiting for news!!

I just read birdsnests post and I think to be more precise I'm sure your sons case is the same. The AFA wants your son and thats why he got LOA. Its just metter of time. Stay hopeful and good luck.

I hope you are right! I take it that there is nothing more my son can do proactively, but just wait to see if the AFA wants him enough to find an alternate nomination source. Thanks for your encouraging words. And good luck to everyone like us floundering in the the mystery of the admissions process!

Apparently not.
 
Okay thanks! I'm getting down knowing that I received two nominations and still not hearing. I just wish they would send that TWE so I could just move on already!
Don't lose faith yet....my DS has 2 nominations, is overqualified for Prep so it's not an option, and has a very strong package but hasn't heard anything either...... the good news is he hasn't heard ANYTHING... that includes a DENIAL..... it's not over yet!!!

We know that feeling. My DS has 3 nominations and we are still awaiting some sort of news, not only from the USAFA but the USCGA too. He did get a denial from the USNA though, but he had no nominations there so it was expected.
