Hello,

I was just curious about how everyone found out about their appointment. More specifically, if you were given a notification when the appointment appeared on your portal.

Also, how many nominated candidates are given an appointment per district? I received a nomination back in December but I have not heard anything from my Congressman yet.

Thank you

Your Congressman can have up to five appointments at USNA charged to him at any one time, which works out to 1, sometimes 2, slots available per cycle. Of course, other people who just happen to live in your District may have been or will be offered appointments that were or will be charged to other nom sources, such as Presidential, other service-related, JROTC or ROTC, senatorial, etc.

Have you been tracking the posts about the two portals being available, and how to work between the two? I haven’t followed that closely, but another link has been posted several times. I think this is a one-time thing due to the IT system switch over.

Your elected representative can choose to call or not. Something from USNA is going to tell you your status. No news is good news at this point.

Update: I found the thread I was looking for. Comb through it. It mentions the “new portal” is the place where appointments and LOAs have appeared.

"New" Navy Portal Not Working?

I was just wondering if anybody else is having trouble logging into the "new" navy portal. Instead, when you log yourself back in, does it take you to the "old" portal? Thanks.

Also, in years past, you would receive an email that indicates there is new information to check. Don’t recall the verbiage, but specific to an appointment/LOA, a separate email was sent that there was correspondence to review. Some have indictated that this email went to their spam account. Didn’t for DS’s.

Thank you for such a detailed response! I have been following the two portals - I check almost every day just in case.

You say that no news is good news at this point. Could you enlighten me as to your reasoning behind this

Appointments are still going out.
If you have received no notice of status, you can hope you are still in the race. No news is good news.
Until it’s not.
If you receive news of a declination, the race is over for this year, though there could be a nano-sliver of hope for NAPS or prep scholarship or final waitlist (the small list of people told to be on standby at the very end of the cycle, who could be called up and offered an appointment if the number of candidates declining appointments was running ahead of the predicted rate for the cycle.
