loa

Hi, I have received an LOA last week for USNA. The only issue is that I might have compartment syndrome in my legs, and if so, I would need surgery for them down the line. The issue is that I really want to go to the academy but I don't want something like this stopping my dream as a whole...

Hello, This past early September, I received an LOA for the Class of '23 at USNA. As I still need a nomination and know the LOA in itself is no guarantee of getting one, should I inform the offices of the Congressmen/Senators in my state of this? Or, alternatively, should I just bring a...

I am applying to all 3 SAs hoping to get an appointment to any one of them. I would accept an appointment to any SA if offered. Unexpectedly, I received an LOA from USMA last week which really was a surprise considering how competitive all SAs are. I know I am competitive but the LOA was still a...

I have heard several stories both on this forum and elsewhere of candidates being admitted or receiving LOAs as early as October or November from getting their applications in early. This being said, if I submit my application in the next week or so will I have a chance at this, and more...

I just got a call from an admissions officer and she is willing to offer me a letter of assurance (LOA); however, as a reapplicant she stated that I must first pass the CFA! So, the CFA is my top priority at the moment. My DODMERB is complete and now I am just in the waiver process with USMA. I...

Purpose of an LOA and what the significance of getting one means?

I have an LOA from the Naval Academy but somehow I slipped through the cracks during the congressional nomination process. Nobody gave me a nomination to USNA, how good of a chance do I have of getting a Vice presidential or Superintendent's nomination? Thanks to all

I received an email today notifying me of a change in my application status. I checked the application portal, and my status is listed as: "Conditional Offer of Appointment LOA" and my required actions are listed as "Obtain a Nomination". I have already had congressional nomination interviews...

Hey, I have a LOA to USMA, but I have to get a medical waiver. I know it's impossible to tell if a person is going to receive a waiver, but am I more likely to receive a waiver if I have a LOA? Or is it still possible that I'll be denied? Thanks.

In mid-July, I was awarded a presidential nomination. Everything besides my transcript, DoDMERB and CFA are in the system, and the transcript and DoDMERB are on the way to admissions as I am writing this. It is my understanding that once my transcript arrives, my package can go in front of the...

Hi everyone! Haven't posted on here since Feb. but I have a lot of updates! Got accepted to and went to AIM Week 3. Was one of the 2 Honor Grads and today... I GOT A LETTER OF ASSURANCE?!!! Never saw this coming and I am still in shock. Does anyone have any further info on LOAs? I had never...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here and I am looking for some help. I am currently in the process of completing my application for the class of 2022 and I am looking for some help on the personal statement portion. Can someone tell me how important this portion is as well? Below is the...

Hello, I'm currently applying to the USNA and I've been wondering what is required to receive a LOA. Are test scores and class rank the main factors? Do they take in EC's into consideration? All answers are appreciated!

My son received a LOA last fall, received his nomination, aced the physical test, and was DoDMERB disqualified (we expected it). He had all testing done and submitted all documents for the waiver by early February 2017 and received his waiver on May 2017. Unfortunately, the LOA "expired" on...

My son received his TWE this morning. He had received an LOA, but was Turned Down Medically. Is there any type of appeals process that he can try? Thanks!

Hello All, I am in need of some advice with my application process. I have had an LOA since early March and have been deemed medically disqualified since February 23rd. I am a recruited athlete and currently have an offer to another university with a big scholarship (that can be taken away any...

DS received LOA in September and was Medically DQ'd in January for complications resulting from an illness 5 years ago. He has been awaiting for decision from waiver authority for nearly 2 months (follow-up testing and evaluations sent in at the time DQ/waiver started). I've heard that the...

Daughter received LOA in October and interviewed with one senator and one congresswoman-other senator never responded to application. Received one "no" and are being strung out on congressional results. Promised before Christmas, then updated to early January and still no word. Anyone else out...

Has anyone heard back from Senator Flake, McCain, or Gosar in district 4? I still haven't gotten anything back from them or in the portals (applied to USNA and received an LOA for USAFA).

In a state of disbelief right now. I went through my congressman's nomination process relatively confident due to receiving an LOA beforehand as well as being told by admissions that I am one of, if not the best in my district. My application was great, the interview was "meh" (Not bad, but...
