Hopefully so. This way they can take the count, whatever it is, and send it out right away. They will probably give you two more weeks to accept. I would think they would want to arrive at a "final" count as soon as possible, so the sooner they notify, the sooner they will know what their numbers are.

No one in admissions asked ME of course, but I think you guys should have been among the FIRST to know, not the last!
Good luck to all!

DS called a couple days ago, and said he wanted to use some of his leave, to come home in a couple weeks. He was going to ask when he got to work.
He was told yesterday to hold off on the request for a few days. Not sure why, but of course in my mind, everything revolves around the Academy, and any news, so I'm hoping that's the reason he has to wait.

Ha Ha! Thank you so much! We are all grateful for your support of our young men and women who are already serving!

Thank you!
Maybe your son's CC is better informed, because I just went back home to California for a week of leave. Hopefully there is some good news when I return!
Hmmm, interesting.
Doubt if we will hear much of anything until after April 15. They need to determine which and how many candidates they can make offers to, once they know how many previously made offers have been declined. I think this is why they are using the waitlist process. They asked the waitlisted candidates to respond whether or not they wanted to be waitlisted in an effort to reduce the number of offers they might make to waitlisted candidates that ultimately get declined. Once they have an accurate count, they will send out offers to the wait list, and possibly direct appointment LEAD candidates as well. There are 240 slots at Prep, as many as 50 of which they are allowed to give to LEAD candidates.
After they have made the next round of offers (after April 15) they will look at the rest of the list to determine who they should offer Prep slots to, which means that if a LEAD candidate qualifies for Prep, those offers will likely not be made until May.

Found out today, it was held up for something else. All good, and today is a great day for him, but it didn't have anything to do with the Academy. We will be booking the trip home, tonight.
Back to waiting...
ha ha! Anything to take the mind off, right?
After the gym I've been going on 1 Hour+ runs just to keep my mind off things.
I talked to a LEAD rep on the phone about 2 weeks ago and she said that they were going to meet next week. I think they're just waiting to see how many civilian slots they fill before they give us the news.
