at this point last year there were already 8 or 9 appointments listed. so far this year only 2 or 3. is it just me or is the forum quieter than last year.
right, i mean there are just less people on the forum this yearIt’s all a function of how many USNA applicants are active here in any one cycle. No way to draw a correlation to rate of appointments that might be going out.
It was a lot more active last year. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think my mid posted anything except maybe in the appointment thread. I scoured every thread for as much information as I could find and passed on the most pertinent to him. DS likes to learn things the hard way. So far, so good, though All the best to you.Some might just not feel the need to post?
There's no seriously kidding going on about the importance of Bacon here.
It's a vortex, sucking up all the posts on SAF. 22 pages and over 9,000 views.
It was the same for me. DS had the same sports' schedule as yours. It was a welcome distraction from the waiting. Good luck on his season and keeping him on track!My DS is waiting: staying busy with sports Football right into Wrestling. I'm sure other parents are dealing with the anticipation, trying not to show it and encouraging DS to keep on track.
My affect is flat. I’m boring rather than bored.There was a lot of confusion last year regarding the government shut down and its affect on the admissions process.
BTW, we could have a discussion on effect vs affect if everyone is bored!
Update: Still waiting to hear result for USNA appointment: a positive note DS was selected for a four year national NROTC MO scholarship made it in the first rounds.It was the same for me. DS had the same sports' schedule as yours. It was a welcome distraction from the waiting. Good luck on his season and keeping him on track!
I'm hoping to receive an appointment very soon, as I believe I just received the waivers I needed to complete all the required actions for my LOA. If anyone could help me understand if I did get both waivers, I would really appreciate it. I made a thread in this subforum.
