USAFA Class of 2023 Appointment Thread

Does anyone know if Congressman Mac Thornberry(TX. District 13) has been notified of appointments yet?

Also I am new on here as if last night and curious as to what DS and DD means. Sorry if that question has been asked before.

DS = Dear Son, DD= Dear Daughter. At the top of the page there is an acronym list that you will find very helpful. I was using this list every visit when I was new. Have a great day!
Thank you!

Yes he got his nomination back in January from Member of Congress. (MOC)
 
If we assume 10% then every line is worth 10 so 3 declines equals 30 in “reality”. Now, just to address the 10%, I agree that at the end of the entire process the number of posts on SAF for appointments is around 10%, but this is a group of very informed, motivated applicants. I tend to this this group generally receives appointments a tad earlier in the whole process (LOA’s, presidentials, etc). Keep the faith.

Very true. See....I’m could never put those graphs together

Yes, this is assuming that the candidates that report their appointment to SAF are a representative sample of the entire candidate population. This may not be the case as you suggested.

I did not mean for the post to imply that the chances for an appointment were small. On the contrary, I wanted to show that there are still a significant number of offers to be expected. In the past, candidates have reported appointments as late as the end of May.

I think I will hold off on more analytics until this admissions cycle is finished.

At USAFA tour today, one of the admissions counselors said that 80-90% of appointments would be given out the beginning of April. After all the postings this week, that seems awfully high to me, but still gives us hope!

Some news we like to hear!!

Well wait hold on a second. My admissions counselor said “80-90% of DECISIONS are sent out in April.” It sounds promising at first but what is being said is that 80-90% of notifications to candidates will be sent out in April. If over 10,000 people apply, and only about 1,438 people are getting in, it would make sence that 80-90% of decisions will be in April because they are not appointments. 15% of decisions are in March, those being appointments.
Does that ~1,438 include prep school?

FYI - USAFA reported that ~1,170 accepted their appointments for the Class of 2022 and the AoG reported that 235 cadet candidates reported to the Prep School for induction day last summer.
 
From the post above, any idea what the yield rate was? For example, if you want 1,200 new cadets, how many offers do you have to give to get that many acceptances. In my experience with college admissions, the colleges are always concerned about the yields.

Although, does it matter for a SA, they can keep granting appointments until they get the number they want. Hmmm, I need to think about it.

From the demographic profiles I have seen:
  • Class of 2022 - 1,434 offers of admission yielded 1,182 admitted (including int'l students and turnbacks)
  • Class of 2021 - 1,508 offers of admission yielded 1,216 admitted (including int'l students, turnbacks, and reappointees)
  • Class of 2020 - 1,492 offers of admission yielded 1,168 admitted (including int'l students, turnbacks, and reappointee)
This 3-year span shows a yield rate average of about 80%.

Hi--In one of these posts (I just cruised through a lot of them again but couldn't find it) there is a photo someone posted as an example of a TWE from last year. But the photo had an article as the second upload and on that article for Class of 2023 I believe I recall it said USAFA was planning on about 1,400 offers to get to a class size of 1,150. That's 82%, so right about in the expected yield rate stated above.

If someone can find that post and photo, the article was interesting.

Waiting is a nice problem to have. For many, there was or is nothing to wait for. DQ'd or TWE already.
