92%. All items are done (including optional LoRs) other than noms and CFA, which is scheduled for next week.

I'm in a similar boat. No LOI last year, but they instead invited me to the Falcon Visitation Experience. Most people who went to FVE got offers of appointment. I wonder how many LOIs they send out per cycle.
I also received one, but what I found is that it's not necessarily like an LOA. It's essentially saying you are a competitive applicant. We like what we see, but finish up on the application. An LOA is a conditional appointment where you must meet the conditions outlined in the letter to receive an appointment(your seat is reserved). There have been plenty of people who received LOI's but have been turned down. It's a good sign, but not an indicator of an appointment.
Really? I'm only a little over halfway and I got one
It might be done in the same way they gave out FVE invitations. That whole program was designed to encourage applicants from low-interest groups to finish their applications and accept their appointment. I imagine it’s a similar case with LOIs
No. Think of the LOI as encouragement, keep going, don't give up, etc. Considering it's the 31st of October, I would hope everything that is under your control is complete by now. Don't wait to complete the CFA. Injuries, illness, weather, lack of facility, lack of proctor, etc, bites people every year. Don't be that person.
