Has anyone received notification of acceptance to the Summer seminar program?
 
Probably won’t hear anything until late march. Last year, I heard in the last week of march. For ss, I believe all notifications come out at once.
Last year I heard back on 2 April. I would Imagine that they wait to release SS acceptances until after they have released the bulk of appointments for the incoming class. @jewelae Good Luck!
 
Not yet, but hopefully soon. From the USAFA FAQ, it said "Summer Seminar selection decisions will be viewable on the application portal by the first week in March..."
 
As a reminder, your acceptance or rejection to summer seminar has absolutely no bearing or indication of your chances at an appointment. For example, my DS was rejected for summer seminar but received an LOA and a very early appointment (not recruited, nor a perfect academic score) to USAFA. Something to keep in mind as you jump on the emotional roller coaster that is the USAFA entry process.

When did your DS finish his application and receive his LOA?

I second this. I got rejected from summer seminar but just received my appointment to USAFA today. Keep your head up if you don't get into seminar, as admissions truly is an enigma. There are a multitude of reasons for everything that occurs to your application for which you will never get an answer or explanation. Don't lose hope.
 
I wouldn't read too much into SS. I got in for 2020 before it was cancelled, and didn't get into the Academy the year after and probably won't this year as well. Control what you can control!

Congrats on you appointment!!!!

Oct/Nov. Very early. No idea why. He isn't in any underrepresented groups, really nothing special, other than so well-rounded, he's pointless. What this means, is there is no way to guess what happens inside the black box called admissions.
