Thanks for all the input! To be honest, I feel incredibly relieved to get the LOA, and being from a small town and not incredibly competitive state or district (East TN), I feel as though the interview for at least my Congressman will be more or less a formality. I planned to keep working towards all my other options due to the urging from my parents and BGO. I also require a medical waiver but I believe that it will be easily attained.
Just curious, how did you first hear you got an LOA? Was it the actual letter in the mail? did your MOC call you? Or was it on the application portal?Candidate for 2020 here. I just received a LOA today, and I must say, I was completely taken aback. I had no idea that one would be coming my way, and I was actually under the assumption that I may not be appointed at all. So I had several Plan Bs in place (Every other service academy, ROTC Scholarships, local university that I received a full ride to, and several other universities). USNA was the only application I had complete due to it being my number 1 choice, and I was wondering what some opinions would be about finishing my other applications. Do I go on as if I never received the LOA, or do I close out all my other applications due to the LOA? Thanks for any feedback!

Coach, please tell your son congratulations from a fellow candidate and that I am praying that we both end up at the academy. Once again I apologize for how I may have came off to you and anyone else, and God bless!
