    Thanks & prepare for plan B!

    I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who contributes to this forum. Last year at this time, we were navigating through the applications, interviews, nominations and didn't know anyone going through the process. The minute I found this site, it became an addiction. As a mom, I was able...

    Class of 2015 - Mailbox Stalkers Club

    USAFA_Flath - DS talked to his AFA admissions counselor yesterday. She said she wished they didn't even put that sentence on the qualified but no vacancy letter telling candidates they may be called to fill a decline. She said the chances of getting a phone call to replace someone who declines...

    Question about the "qualified but no vacancy" letter

    GiuseppeVerde there was no change in the online status before/after the "no vacancy" letter arrived. It still says Candidate/Complete. Good luck!

    Question about the "qualified but no vacancy" letter

    Flieger83 thanks for the great explanation! DS was pretty somber this morning so we want to help him move on to Plan B in a positive way. He is pilot qualified. We'll ride it out and see what happens. Flyerdreamer, good advice for everyone on the physical conditioning! Thanks for the info...

    Question about the "qualified but no vacancy" letter

    Thanks Tailwind Angel for the info. Yes, please let everyone know the wording of your letter when you get it. Pima, thanks for your input as well. You always have great insight. I wasn't too familiar with the Falcon scholarship so I looked on the internet last night and I don't think my son...

    Class of 2015 - Mailbox Stalkers Club

    usafa84 - everyone is blue at my house tonight too. DS got the "qualified but no vacancy" letter today. Even though we tried to be realistic and be prepared, it's hard to not hold out some hope until you see the TWE. Best wishes for a BFE!

    Question about the "qualified but no vacancy" letter

    DS got the TWE letter today telling him he's qualified but there are no more appointments available. However, the letter says he will be notified immediately if he's chosen for a vacancy if another candidate declines. Do all these letters say this? I hadn't heard anyone mention that before...

    Quick Question

    This might be a dumb question but do they send out TWEs to those who didn't receive nominations? Or do they just assume those people will know they are rejected?

    The next steps

    DS got an email from his ALO that said "the remainder of offers of appointment to USAFA will be selected at the board the first week in March".

    2015 Mail Stalkers

    DS did not get a nom to USNA but I have to say I really enjoy reading about the BFEs arriving in the mail. What a thrill!

    Waiting List?

    When the appointments are sent out in March, do a certain number of people get put on a wait list? (not that we can stand any more waiting!) I was just wondering if the only 2 options were an offer of appointment or a rejection. Thanks!

    Send in Fall grades?

    Here's a quick question- my son's high school has said official transcripts with Fall grades are now available. Should he send one in to AFA or will they request one? Thanks!

    9/11 ACT results

    Hi, has anyone seen the 9/11 ACT results get updated? We were told 6-8 weeks for new results and are getting antsy because the 9/11 scores were much better. Anyone else waiting? Thanks!

    Completed File?

    Glad to hear we aren't the only ones wondering when the September ACT and October SAT results will be updated. We called the AFA a couple of weeks ago to check and were told it would be 6-8 weeks from the time the results became available. The USNA had them updated in no time.

    How depressing!

    How depressing!

    My son had his first MOC interview this weekend and was told there are 300 candidates this year! Apparently it is the biggest turn out ever - ugh. So we are trying to be realistic - if he doesn't get a nomination from our 2 senators, congressman or VP, he has 2 plan B college apps in the...

    How long before B&G interview is submitted?

    My son has his application 100% completed, nomination interviews scheduled and had his B&G officer interview 3 weeks ago. However, his online application is still showing that the B&G officer hasn't submitted the interview. Are we in too much of a rush or should my son send him an email to see...
