Is this SOP to receive these things once the application is complete?
Reminds me of the scene in "A Chrismas Story" when Ralphie received his decoder ring in the mail. Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!
We've just been trying to ignore it and soldier on with the plan B apps - my son is facing early application decisions in the next few days from institutions as close as Auburn and as far away as Norwich. The more options the better! Particularly with AU - it's a very close second to USAFA on his short list - Admission there will perk him up pretty good (and depress his step-mother who went to Bama) 
The postage was over $4 for this catalog. Multiply that by a few thousand applicants and that is a huge chunk of change. I would think that they would hold off until an offer was made.Already downloaded ours... Hope they save the postage.
well - the USPS could probably use all the help it can get...
Particularly since it's available online... Hey CC or Flieger - make a suggestion to the money saving program and save the taxpayer some cash! If people request a catalog, USAFA should send them one, but in this day and age a simple email to an applicant with a link should do it.

- If he ends up attending the school, He will be the first of our family to do so since the Civil War... (Kinda Adam's Family isn't it... 
) Plan B rolls along.
My son just received a call today from Norwich also. He was accepted into the Mechanical Engineering/Corps of Cadet. At least he has Plan B, now onto Plan C, D, E,& F. But obviously, they would all go away if Plan A happens. Good Luck to all other potential applicants! Keep working hard!!
