Questions, Chatter, Congrats for the 2026 USAFA Appointment Thread

[fude87658]

Is the application portal down? I keep getting Error 404 when logging in. Refreshed, nothing.

Good for me.

Good for me.

Opened it in a different browser and it worked. Thanks

Try logging out then back in, worked for me when I had that message.

 

[USAFA 2027]

for those who got an appointment, did you get an email notification?

 

[Mdm26]

No. Noticed during a random check of the portal.

Senator called, DC number. My understanding is they are given three days to reach out before the portal is updated.

thx for the info!

thanks for the info

DD received a congratulatory call from Senator and a member of the interview panel. The person from the interview panel stated they get 3 days to inform appointees and the actual nom would go out the 19th. Hoping those that have not received a call get great news on the 19th.

AZ Senator's team reached out and setup a Zoom call. Told DS that it will be in portal ~19th.

 

[Skyhawk]

Got my medical waiver approved 24 hrs after I finally got everything submitted, feeling pretty good about an appointment right now! Staying hopeful!

Does anyone see their MOC nomination in their portal checklist as ?

Yes, I understand it takes admissions a while to update things, but it's not showing in the portal... and I don't want to bug these busy folks.

All mine appear (MOC, Senator, AFROTC). My Senator one appeared the day of notification and MOC appeared 9 Dec.

Anyone from CA receive their Senatorial nominations yet? Haven't heard a whisper from them.

I have heard from people on the forum that CA candidates have received nominations from Padilla.

My DS's Senatorial nomination appeared within days after call from Senator's staff. It has been over a month since Congressman called and still no nom in portal. Trying to be patient and not bother, as well!

Patience is the hard part! My college transcripts are still this very scary red X on my portal. It freaks me out sometimes
