LOA Question

[Slim-Cheezy]

So I just received an email from my admissions officer congratulating me on my LOA, but my portal doesn't display one. Does this just mean it has not showed up yet, or am I in for the biggest psych out of my life?

It hasn’t shown up yet.

Congrats.

Meet the conditions of the LOA. Secure the nomination.

Ok,thank you.

No ..the big psych is when a MOC calls telling you have been Appointed, and then you check your portal and its not posted yet.
Seriously, it is well established that there is often a delay between the occurrence of an event (submitting portions of the application) and it reflecting on your portal. Why would the granting an LOA be any difference.

PATIENCE folks ..... you are heading into the wrong business if you need instant gratification. If an Admissions Officer said you have an LOA, then you probably have an LOA -- it will show up. (Of course,there is always a chance of human error, but I suspect the Admissions Counselors are pretty careful about those things)

Good luck.

Congratulations to you on your LOA! Your application portal may show your status as "USNA - Conditional Offer of Appointment LOA" under the Admissions Application Status. The actual LOA will likely follow in the US Mail. Good luck with your remaining conditions, and be sure to continue communicating with your Admission Counselor as the process evolves. As Old Navy BGO says - patience is key.

Congrats on your LOA! Everyone here basically covered everything but it took my letter a week and half to get to me so don't panic if it doesn't come instantly.

Getting an LOA is great. But your work is not done. Get those final deliverables done!

Also, continue working hard on Plan B, Plan C, Plan D…. An LOA is conditional, and every year there are recipients who sadly don’t or can’t fulfill the conditions. You just never know.

Just a follow up response. It ended up being the psych out of the century. Admissions officer followed up and apologized saying he read my file incorrectly. Not a very happy situation.

That’s awful. They better give your application extra attention for that mess up. I’m sorry.

That's certainly discouraging, but keep positive and continue to complete your application.

The admissions officer made a mistake and apologized. Special treatment isn't warranted here and shouldn't be expected.



My hope is that in the coming months, the OP comes back to say that the plan actually did come together and I-Day 2022 is in their future.

Sorry to hear this. Bear in mind that your goal should always be an appointment, not a LOA. As unfortunate as it must seem, stay focused on the overall goal and press forward. Good luck finishing up your application and on USNA's decision regarding an appointment.
