Got a call from my admissions counselor about an hour ago saying that I received an appointment to USAFA! I guess there's about to be another outpouring of appointments soon Though I haven't really posted, this thread has been a source of helpful information and relief through this long period of stress. I'd like thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for inadvertently keeping my hopes for an appointment alive for so long and pray that everyone recieves good news soon!
Emailed my USAFA counselor today to make an edit to my file. She told me that I should know within a week or so if I'll be getting an appointment or not.
Breathing a little easier...guess I'm still in the running for now.
they shouldnt look at anything in middle school/junior high?
Damn no I was mistaken.
My brother got a TWE from USNA but did not get a TWE from USAFA; he only get the prep notification.
With that in mind I'm still wondering then; if the TWE for USAFA stated that they cannot offer you an appointment to USAFA but did not mention anything about prep school or falcon does that mean prep and falcon options are out or in?
My USNA letter states that I cannot be offered an appointment to USNA or get offered for the preparatory programs. USAFA did not state anything about prep or falcon.
Soooo confused
I thought the portal only updated on Sunday?? are you referring to your Air Force Academy application?My portal was just updated and I was offered a spot on the wait list. Does anyone know anything about this wait list?

I believe being on the wait list means that, right now, there is no vacancy, but if some of the offers that have been made previously do not get accepted by the deadline (which I believe is April 15 for the ones recently sent) then, you may yet get an offer.
Several months ago the portal would update every couple of days. I would try to view it before going to school(5:50 ish), and I would receive an error message because it was updating. This could have changed to only Sundays, but at one time weekdays were also update days.

That's just the AF servers syncing. The actual updates regarding appointments and such are said to come out only on Sundays. I'm up every morning around 4:30 and I see that message every morning.
DS just got email offering a waitlist option. Went to the portal and accepted waitlist spot. The waitlist says he will know by May 15th. Just got to pray that people decide to take offers to other academies!
Congratulations to all those who have received appointments so far, and good luck to those of us still waiting and hoping!
Same letter for my DS today.
