Congratulations! What a great way to start off your morning!I heard nothing from USAFA since I completed my app since November. I got a email this morning saying a I have a new message from admissions concerning a Falcon scholarship
Congratulations!!! Check out R-MA in Front Royal, VA.The program is excellent! DS loves it! All 8 Falcon Scholars received their appointments.I just received a Falcon Scholarship!!!!!!! Wow I am on cloud 9 so so happy and proud!!
FYI Letting you all know, my son, who had an offer of appointment to USAFA, declined today in favor of West Point. He had not received anything from USAFA since his application was completed months ago until last Friday morning when he was emailed that he was being offered an appointment. He thought about it for a few days and declined this afternoon. I hope one of you gets good news soon, because an appointment is now back in the hopper! Best to all!
More than likely for last minute appointments. There still may be a few slots to finalize the class of 2021 out. And, it only takes one person to make a stupid mistake (arrest, fail a core class, last minute mind change, etc.) to open up another slot.Considering the fact that USAFA has no wait list, can anyone reasonably speculate what scenarios would make someone who is nominated and medically qualified (3Q'd?) still officially have Candidate status at this point? DS has reached out, no answers being given.
Many congratulations to your son,BTW. I guess the shock has worn off by now? I know slots will open, but based upon last year most of the appointments were from TWEs. If there were appointments to be filled after the dreaded April 17th date and people were left Candidates due to those unfilled slots at that time, I just wonder they are still unfilled by now.More than likely for last minute appointments.
