We were notified via an email from admissions on Saturday 29 Apr. Still have not received a BFE and the deadline to accept is tomorrow.

Our BFE was sitting on our front Porch, FedEx delivery, when we got home from a family function yesterday afternoon.
 
My DS contacted his USMMA liaison by telephone yesterday to let him know that he had received an appointment and he would be accepting. Liaison had no idea yet, he said sometimes he is the last to know. LOL. He was very informative and answered a few questions and was extremely supportive and seemed genuinely happy for our DS.

My DS also replied to the email he had received yesterday from his admissions officer, letting him know that he is accepting.

Form was faxed today.

Tomorrow morning the form will be mailed. Liaison said it does not need to be overnight expressed, admissions knows they sent this on Friday and do not expect the mailed copy back overnight. Actually they sent a self addressed envelope with postage paid with the form Liaison said use the envelope that was in the BFE.

DS is also going to call admissions tomorrow to let them know as well.

We can't due any more than that considering the short notice. Whew, the past 24 hours have been a whirlwind.
 
My DS was notified of his appointment by FedEx on Thurs. 4/27/17!!!!! He signed it, mailed and faxed and also emailed. The football coaches have been talking, emailing and texting with him. He heard from them again that night! So he will be at his dream school and playing football for the Mariners this fall!

Things are heating up here on the appointment thread! Edited to add @usmma_mom @TexanBison1998 @KrisKatz @Spooky6243 and @7peasnapod . For those of you who did not specify, would you please let us know what state, congressional district, and what type of nomination you received. Thank you and congratulations!
 
I know...our plan B was in full swing to include campus visits, new campus orientation, and $150 worth of t-shirts for the family at the campus bookstore.

Spooky, you can always use those t-shirts as gifts to new grads going there! KP shirts trump all ;)

Then mail the Original (Keep a Copy of it) to them FedEx overnight.

There really is no need to FedEx the form. They are fine with using the envelope provided and using regular mail. Fax (or email a scanned copy) and then mail the original. The fax or email is what alerts them of the acceptance.
 
kriskatz. 2020 here as well. pm if you need anything, or start a new thread.

Texas is in the house!! Glad to see the representation is continuing. Texas is always one of the top couple of states numbers wise. Spooky-just fyi, USMMA is a little bit different than Texas States. lol.
 
Pretty exciting time. Our Congressman just sent an invitation for our DD and her family to have dinner at his house with all the service academy appointees and their families. Another example of our kids having such great opportunities ahead!

My son is from District 10 in VA and received a Senatorial nomination.
 
Pretty exciting time. Our Congressman just sent an invitation for our DD and her family to have dinner at his house with all the service academy appointees and their families. Another example of our kids having such great opportunities ahead!

My son said our MOC also invited him this morning during the phone call to attend a celebration in June with all service academy appointees and their families. I think it is a great opportunity and reward for all of their hard work their achievement.
