USNA family coming to USAFA next October for the Navy-AirForce football game. Arriving on Wednesday night and departing Sunday morning. Younger son is interested in touring the academy on either Thursday or Friday prior to the game. Never having been to Colorado we would also like to do some...

My son was told today that at least one of his classes will be from the regular classroom, with a zoom meeting connection to another classroom where the remaining in-person military professor will be. First one he heard about. Still waiting on info for the others.

Orthopedic injury that needed final waiver review at USNA. LOA was received in November. Provided the requested waiver docs and had the clearance within a few weeks toward the end of December. Nomination received end of December, fully qualified offer received mid January.

At the time the above email was received, he was still needing the appointment, and a medical waiver clearance.

Last years application cycle, my son’s portal updated as you noted. This email arrived in his inbox the next morning: We are pleased to advise you that the Admissions Board has found you qualified to compete for admission to the United States Naval Academy with the Class of 2027. You...

12th? My son just got assigned there 😀

My son is entering next week as a recruited athlete. His team sent this info out last week as part of plebe summer important dates to keep in mind. So info is definitely coming early in the summer.

Son and I were at a Welcome Aboard event in the Philadelphia area yesterday where Dean of Admissions Latta spoke. He made some comments about application numbers this year - said they were very happy with the app numbers being a significant increase over last year (no specifics cited). Running...

For my appointee son, no email and nothing in the portal. And the above poster said the emails aren’t issued until the end of May. One of his summer seminar friends had no idea the stuff was ready to go until they were texting each other earlier today.

So for those families that aren’t on this site or Facebook for instance, how are they notified that the PTR is ready to be acted upon? Waiting for an email that doesn’t arrive until the end of may, when the first materials are due back to USNA on 5/15?

DS, admitted to the incoming class of 2027, attended track camp after his 10th grade year. Attended NASS after 11th grade. The combination of both experiences galvanized his decision that USNA was the place he wanted to be. So he put the work in both academically and on the track, and ended up...

Received clarification from USMA this week. His application was withdrawn since he told a USMA coach that he committed to USNA. No action on his end; USMA unilaterally withdrew his application due to his athletics commitment to USNA.

Do you recall if you were offered 2 or 4?

Thanks for the advice. Already have a hotel booked in Providence for the game weekend this year. Just needed to figure out the tickets piece. My son was appointed to class of ‘27 - and we live about 10 miles from Lincoln Financial Field in Philly. Of course he’ll never see a game there with...

Wasn’t sure where to put this question but figured someone here would know. Do incoming plebe families have the opportunity to buy Army-Navy football tickets through the academy?

One more data point (which are all over the place this year): My son’s DODMERB dashboard still shows “Awaiting receipt of remedial”, but his USNA portal shows a medical clearance date of late December. A few days after the USNA medical check mark showed on his portal in the above date, he...

To my eye, it looks like it is on the River side of, and physically connected to, the soccer building. In the current grass area.

Weird. Thanks. Army has been having some portal issues this week, I wonder if this is related.

Does accepting an appointment to USNA automatically withdraw apps to other SAs? Asking because DS accepted his USNA appointment, then received notification less than a week later that his Army application was withdrawn (with no action from his side). It’s a moot point because he was going to...
