USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

Waiting on Massachusetts!!

I’m sure the first MA appointments will be LOA holders. Then once the Senator noms come out hopefully us MA people will hear some news!

Not that this thread is statistically accurate ... but it looks like 40% so far are LOAs.
40%; good to know. This exercise in patience is tough on a mom. No LOA here, but 3noms, so hoping for an app for DD. No guarantees, but lots of hope.

Your wait is less painful than mine.

And you are a patient mom. I’m a man quite incapable of patience.

I hate this. :)

It’s awful. Worse for DD, but she’s taking it well. Mine less painful? Tell more.

DS got an early LOA ... and admissions told me yesterday he is being considered as a top candidate ... he will have multi-noms. But he is colorblind and needs a waiver.

It’s sitting with the superintendent now.

DD received a Med waiver, but for something else. DD’s noms (NJROTC/Sen-GA/Rep-GA) came through 8/18, 11/18, 12/18. Med waiver late 11/18. But it’s a big stack of highly qualified potentials in Annapolis. So we wait. I wish you and your DS the best!

LOL I want to join that Facebook group of parents for plebes.

Hanging around a support group of impatient parents might make me worse. ;)
 
Thought I saw directions to new FB group for 2023 listed here (before DS received appointment). Could not find it now?
There is a fb group for 2023 parents. Forum rules do not allow links to other social media sites, but just search fb for the 2023 BLB group.
BLB stands for Blind Leading The Blind :shake:

My DS just received letters from both Senators in OH, just this week. He has his MOC priority nom, so they both stated that since he already has a nom, they will nom other candidates. I think that’s great! He says it’s more competition! Lol I did noticed the only candidate from OH that has posted was an LOA.
My DS got his Nom from MOC (Dist14) for OH and we’re told the same thing. Waiting and prayers for a BFE. Good luck to you and your DS hopefully we will be able to represent OH together!!

All 30 to this point are direct appointments. Pure coincidence, or a result of some factor in the process?

My DS is currently part of the foundation program and he will not find out if he gets an appointment until mid April. I'm really hoping to update this thread (and change my screen name) at that time.

Hoping for good news for your DS and family too. :)

You mention in another post that you were appointed. Did you mean to add your name to make it 31?
