Do we know how many appointments have been made to date? Or how many appointments are left? Tks
 
What is the difference between applicants and candidate pool?
This online form gives you the opportunity to self-report important qualifications, including your grade point average, class rank and extracurricular activities.

If your self-reported qualifications meet our candidate guidelines, your application will

be promoted to candidate status.

Applications are those who apply and candidates are those who are qualified...I believe
Applications are those who opened a PCQ, candidates are those who meet the minimum standards for appointments. Those who are 3Qed are a smaller group. Using data from previous years, that number is between 3300 and 1700

It really seems like a waste for everyone involved to not do the DODMERB up front before the whole application train gets going. I mean, my DS got through the whole entire process, offered an appointment, and was DODMERB disqualified. Now he got a waiver and has since been qualified and accepted, but how many candidates are just disqualified by DODMERB with unwaiverable items? The country is wasting a whole bunch of nominations that could go to qualified DODMERB candidates if they were just screened up front.

That would be ideal but at the same time USAFA pays for the exams so they want some sort of weeding out process for unserious applicants. Would be curious to see how many nominations are actually wasted by an unwaiverable medical DQ. Im positive that number would be virtually nothing compared to the amount of pointless medical exams that would be done by applicants who don’t finish the entire process.

Isn't the spot just offered to the next person. People can still get an appointment even right before BCT.
 
I think the academies know what they are doing. The current process identifies the best candidates on the factors the applicants can control. Academics, leadership, extracurricular activities etc. If they screened on medical the quality pool would be diminished and then the decision on waivers would be void.

It’s a brutal reality that you can go super far in the process and get DQ’d.

Good luck to those still in the game!
