[RunningMom]

Nothing yet for my DD either, but no TWE.

 

[AJAX09]

Same here. DS still waiting.

 

[Jetbill]

DS, MOC nom, self-prep (NWP), very well qualified, still crickets here. We TX and a lot of self reported appointments for TX. But we only need 1.

 

[renotahoegal]

does anyone still not have a decision? I am on a presidential nomination, I have received nothing in the mail, and no portal updates.

My DS is waiting on an update with 3 MOC nominations... still not a peep... think he might break the internet reloading the portal at this pace...

All silent on the USAFA front still. I wonder why it takes them so long compared to the other service academies.

I haven't seen many non-LOA appointments from CA....any news from CA (especially in the SoCal area) would be greatly appreciated.

Most CA are non-LOA in the appointment graph, where exactly are you not seeing any? I think so saw one LOA and the rest non LOA.

 

[Syprk]

None so far from GA either.. someone please let me know if anyone from GA gets notified!

 

[Eom24]

Anyone from New York still waiting?

 

[Hopefulmom1234]

My DS is still waiting. However, I have been wondering on how one is notified if given a TWE and then later selected for an open slot? Does he need to continue monitoring his portal like he has been or will they go about notifying in a different manner as they will have assumed you have moved onto plan b and are not monitoring the portal?

So as not to be disappointed - my understanding is this is an absolute anomaly. You will hear about them occasionally for that exact reason - it is the very rare exception.

Just a couple of appointments noted on April 11 since the big wave. I can’t help wondering - was 2022 the year of just one big wave and some small trickles only to be followed by a massive wave of TWEs on April 15 ……..or - and this is pure hope - is there one more small mini wave on April 15?

 

[dav1y]

I am assuming people will probably wait until the last minute to decline their offers (I just only declined mine today), which might mean a small wave of BFEs (along with a large wave of TWEs, unfortunately) on the 15th. This is just speculation of course, but I'm hoping that one of y'all might get the BFE in place of me declining my offer. Best of luck to y'all still waiting!
