Fingers and toes crossed and still waiting. She's proceeding though and accepting an AROTC 4 year scholarship for Embry Riddle at her JROTC awards ceremony today. Maybe some Murphy's law?
Did you get a call?Received my notice of appointment officially this morning! Headed to school now...best day of my life! I am pulling for everyone else to get the good news. Hang in there!
DS also received a Falcon Foundation Scholarship offer this morning and has 1 week to decide. He also has a 4 year AFROTC scholarship to consider (and a USMA appointment which he has decided to decline). After mourning the loss of a direct entry appointment for a few hours, I think he will take the FF Scholarship as 99.8% get appointments upon successful completion of their prep year.DS received Falcon Scholarship this morning - he also has an AFROTC scholarship. Any seasoned players out there with advice? We need to research the Falcon Scholarship opportunity more - anyone know the percentage of those who receive an appointment after completing the year of prep? We'll scour these threads for more information also. Hang in there to all those who are waiting!
Still "candidate" status and very stressed!
anlee sorry sweetie , the end has got to be near for you and the rest including my DS to hear ! I saw you were also a USNA candidate , I feel for your stress ! Is this your first year applying for service academies ? Hang tough girl whatever the outcome you will survive !Still "candidate" status and very stressed!
You hang in there too JLI22 ! Got to hand it to you DD’s out there going for acceptance in a male dominated profession , I come from one myself ( firefighting ) but wouldn’t change a thing, love the support I got from my brothers in the industry and the male leaders early on that taught me I could do it ! I would be super excited if my daughter would pursue a military career , your parents no doubt will be super proud whatever the outcome for even putting yourself out there through this grueling process . Don’t stress it’s out of your control now , take a breath , enjoy your schooling and friends , and strategize your next move to get to your end goal if the academy doesn’t come through . Like I told my DS , resilience and drive is what will carry you to success .Still "candidate" status and very stressed!

Definitely makes the days longer though....anlee sorry sweetie , the end has got to be near for you and the rest including my DS to hear !

A male dominated environment doesn’t scare me! I was the only girl on the wrestling team for a few years and the bonds I made with my team are unbreakable! I will continue to pursue a career in the military- whether that be through the academies or another route. When I received my rejection from the Naval Academy (Monday) I really started to realize how important it is to live in the moment and enjoy everything we have! Best of luck to your DS!

Confidence in spades! You’re already a winner. You don’t need anyone telling you you’ll go far. You know it already, so we’ll just sit back and enjoy watching your ascent.

How did candidates heard of their appointment today? Did the portal updated to offer of appointment, from USAFA via email or members of congress via email or phone call?
God Bless!
