LOA

... and an LOA is not the goal, an appointment is.

DS scored 1520 on the SAT's, GPA 4.7, and has a very strong resume with EC's and strong CFA scores. He's been granted a nom for both the USAFA and USNA, along with a LOA from USAFA and USCGA. However, USNA remains his first choice. He's heard nothing from USNA, though, so is an LOA at this point impossible? We're in Virginia, and I understand VA is a very competitive state for USNA. I also heard that there have been some complications with the admissions process in VA, but I don't know that for sure. Anyone have any insight?

why would you want an LOA now if application is all green? you want an appointment at this stage unless DODMERB is still outlier

I believe LOAs are given for this ...

Also a nom. That’s another still relevent piece for an LOA. Although not specifically in this case.

Point is still the same...the goal is the appointment.

He’s medically cleared for USAFA. He submitted waiver info as requested for USNA a month or so ago, but he hasn’t heard anything. He knows via Dodmerb that the info was received.
