500 USMA Appointments Mailed Out Today

My Plebe was led to believe that USMA will be expanding its numbers over the next couple of years. I am not sure who told him that, or how reliable that info is. This surprised me, but on the other hand his 2020 class was large, and the new barracks opening next year is very large, and old barracks are being remodeled. Not sure why they would need so many more rooms if not expanding numbers.

Heard the same thing from my Yuk just last night. The incoming Plebe class is expected to be bigger. Both the Cow and Firstie classes are below 1000.
 
Received BFE in NH on 1/19. Had to overnight immediately to DD who attends boarding high school in VA with DS. After the student body/faculty returned from attending the Presidential Inauguration, DD organized a surprise meeting with classmates/faculty and presented him with his BFE. We had to live vicariously through pics/video. Watching the video of him jumping up and down with joy stirred the same emotions we felt on the day he was born.

The Class of 2020 was right around 1,300. Class rankings came out this week and the class is now down to 1,245.
 
Does anyone else not see the offer posted in their candidate portal despite receiving the package a few days ago? There's nothing in my portal concerning accept/decline, oath of allegiance, instructions, etc...

It's not in my portal yet either, but I heard it can come up to a week later. I really want to hit that "Accept" button already lol
 
What does the BFE look like? It says its from admissions DD just got one but she's not home!

The Envelops is pretty thick and is all Black (with some Gold Outlining). On one side there is the West Point Crest along with United States Military Academy West Point in BIG Letters. On the Reverse side, it has a smaller version of the crest and title in the top left. It should be from "Director of Admissions" and should also have a Priority Mail sticker.
 
Still haven't received BFE.
I passed the CFA back in August, I'm academically qualified and I've been medically qualified since October. I never received a 3Q letter but I wasn't worried because I've seen a few posts saying that now everyone gets one. (Also my admissions counselor said I had everything completed).
I have a principal nomination that's been available to see in my portal since Jan 1 so I really thought I would be in the first wave :(
Any thoughts as to why I wouldn't be? Should I be worried now about never receiving that 3Q letter? I live in CA-31 if that has to do with anything.

If you aren't principal nominee or congressperson does not do principals then WP may have to wait for all applicants in your district to finish application to rank order nominees by WCS and make appointments. There may not be a "clear winner" in your district yet.

That's what I'm confused about, I am a principal nominee.
 
It CAME, it CAME!! Praise God, Hallelujah! I didn't want to post sooner because I wanted to surprise her and I knew she'd be looking on here! I'll let her post it on the appointment thread, I bet you'll know which one is mine.[emoji6] Oh HAPPY DAY!!!
