ALO interview isn't shown on application portal

[analytic]

First time posting with three questions.

My DS finished both CFA and DoDMERB early this month, and received nomination. His ALO interview was done last year. So we have been watching his application portal. Understandably, DoDMERB doesn't show up yet. But ALO info isn't there even after DS sent email to the blue team. Should we just stay tight a few more (weeks)?

I also see the appointment list has 15 already - according to class 2025's list (193), it's about 20% of the total. Can we say there are 70 - 80 appointees now for class already 2026?

Are those early appointments mostly from athletics recruits since all three service academies compete for them I believe?

Thank you.

The first question is reasonable, I'd wait for a response from Blue Team or talk to your ALO.

As for the second two...

I am a reapplicant, and because of that I understand the desire to analyze and breakdown every post on this forum, check the portal an unreasonable number of times every day, and look at all sorts of statistics, graphs, and numbers to ease the itch about this long wait- predicting "gusts" of appointments, if we're still in the "game", etc. And the conclusion I've reached is that it is not a healthy use of time.

This may not be the answer you are looking for, but I do write this with the most positive of intentions. If the application is complete, then everything that your DS can control is done, and worrying or learning about anything we can't control makes this process a lot worse. If we are to get appointments, we will get appointments, and if we don't we don't...

I'm excited for your DS and wish him the best in receiving an appointment to the Academy - but scratching the analytical itch many of us have does not make it go away, it just makes it worse. Reiterating - I know this doesn't answer your question but many almost tear themselves apart over this, so read this knowing I have the best of intentions!!!

Good luck!!
