My son's portal shows the application status as "Letter of Assurance." We have not had any correspondence from USMMA; what exactly does this mean?
I’m pretty sure a Letter of Assurance means that you are effectively accepted pending final details. CongratsMy son's portal shows the application status as "Letter of Assurance." We have not had any correspondence from USMMA; what exactly does this mean?
Beach mentioned a key point…”and you secure your nomination.” But congratulations to the OP (and others), you are all on your way to a potential exciting journey. From AdmissionsDS got one also. It means that as long as you are 3Q (academically, medically, and physically) qualified and you secure your nomination you will get an appointment. It's a great thing! Congratualtions!
Yes similar process, but on the positive side, you can get a nomination from any congressman in your state. It’s not always understood by the offices, but if someone were coming late to the game and missed their congressman deadline, they have the ability to get a nomination from somebody else in their state. He should make sure he lets them know when he’s interviewing that he has that LOA. Congrats!He passed his CFA and is DoDmerb qualified. He has his nomination interviews this weekend. Is the Nomination process for USMMA the same as for the other academies?
My DS is a plebe right now. The process is stressful, but also rewarding in the long run. My DS never got a LOA and his SAT's were not off the charts, so like Capt MJ says, don't waste to much mental energy on the LOA. Just do the steps and make sure everything is complete. I also really recommend an overnight if you can. It will really put into perspective the whole regimental process if he hasn't been around the military much. Good luck to everyone!New to the forum....first post actually, but have relied on a ton of posts on here as we have navigated the application process with our DS this application cycle. Was curious if LOA's are fairly rare with USMMA and just reserved for the cream of the crop? Trying to be realistic with our kid on the competitiveness of the process. He has a high GPA, good fitness score, solid but not rockstar sports & community categories. I think his achilles will be his SAT scores currently, although he has a few more sittings. Right now we are focusing on his interview with congressional staff scheduled for Monday! Best of luck to all you going through this exciting but nerve-wracking process!
Appreciate the response TrackDad. We are working to line up an overnight yet this fall. Agree, figure it will give him the best snapshot possible on what it is like as he heads into the home stretch of his application and testing.My DS is a plebe right now.

Congratulations, that’s great.Just checked my son's portal and there is also an update of his status to say "Letter of Assurance". Woo hoo! Now we know that the DODMERB waiver process will start to move. In the meantime, we've already scheduled an appointment with a specialist to run the tests we know will be asked for.
I don’t think you can get an LoA without passing CFA scores being submitted, so it must already have been put in. When did your son submit his application?I don’t remember. It said either submitted or complete. I am wondering now if an actual letter or email will come? Anyone know? My son’s CFA is not even showing as complete. He did it a couple of weeks ago, but not sure it was submitted.
They are not showing as complete on his end but maybe they have them. I think he submitted the 12th or 19th of October.I don’t think you can get an LoA without passing CFA scores being submitted, so it must already have been put in. When did your son submit his application?
