No, I was speaking more of the person who had their application completed and their nominations early. "Obviously, non-MOC nomination". But your Son's ROTC nomination in November isn't quite the same. I was speaking more of last summer. Not the end of the year when the overwhelming of applications and nominations are produced.
I can tell you not to worry about it, but I know people do worry. I can tell you that whether you worry or not, there is absolutely 0% of affect that any of that worrying is going to have. As the Serenity prayers basically says; concentrate on the things that you have control over. This isn't one of them. It's simply a hurry up and wait situation. We've seen individuals who have been given the BFE, and yet their status didn't change online for more than a month. We've seen status's change, with no appointments. If you can think of a possible scenario dealing with the applicants, their status, and the eventual appointment process; I can almost guarantee you that someone has had that scenario happen.
If you've been assured that you are physically, medically, and academically qualified; then that is all you need to worry about. If you weren't, you'd have been made aware of it. You have the nominations, so there's nothing left there. Simply wait.
FWIW: My son's status NEVER EVER CHANGED to say "Qualified Candidate". (2007) In the status block in July, it changed from "Applicant" to "candidate". "He had a presidential nomination". In the DODMRB section, it said Qualified. That's it. Nothing else with those words. At the end of October, the status simply changed to "Appointment Offered". He received the BFE about 10 days later. He signed it; mailed it make; and a couple weeks later, it changed to "Appointment Accepted". To be honest; I think it stayed like that for the next 8 months until he left for BCT. Don't worry about what the status says.
