USAFA Class of 2021 Appointments

[KrisKatz]

CA District 39 here.
Just got informed by AFA Admissions Officer today that my DS would hear in or out by Apr 21.
I don't know if that is good or bad.

Thank you lionking1964 for your information. Passing along any information from USAFA admissions helps the rest of us waiting.
Looks like there are 5 of us from Southern California still waiting, unless I am missing someone.
My DS is CA-25
CB_Dad_5 is CA-31 with a DS
fearthegoat17 is CA-37
lionking1964 is CA-39 with a DS
afamom99 is CA-45 with a DS

Got another Californian here waiting as well. I also am in CA-25 and received one of the alternate nominations.

Sorry I missed you rich. I will put you on my list with us So. Cal's

@KrisKatz, Glad to be of some help!
Considering the forum represents 10% of the total applicants, I can safely say there are about 50 candidates waiting to hear from USAFA in California?....lol

I was looking over the list of appointments to see what districts in Southern California have already gotten theirs on this forum. Looks like five CA-36, 42,43,46,52.

There are 53 congressional districts in California total.
KrisKatz confirms there are 5 districts showing winners.
So it is true that the forum is supposedly at a level of 10% representation......lol.....

I don't know which districts they're in or which MOC slate they were appointed from but there are at least eight CA appointees in the USAFA Class of 2021 Parents' Group on FB.

TN-02 My DD got offered a Falcon Foundation Scholarship.

 

[CB_Dad_5]

TN-02 I got offered a Falcon Foundation Scholarship.

Was that today? How did you find out!

 

[sherrie]

My DD just got an email this morning.

 

[sherrie]

We don't fully understand the meaning of a falcon scholarship. I have to admit I am so disappointed she did not get an appointment, I am almost ready to cry but don't want to do that in front of her.

Quite often here on SAF, the sponsored prep scholarships are referred to as the "golden ticket." For good reason.

One way to think about this is USAFA wants your DD so strongly, and believes in her, they are willing to wait for her, giving her the opportunity and the financial help to buff up whatever area they found lacking.

If she successfully completes prep, remains physically and medically qualified, and gains another nom (usually not a problem), then this time next year, you will likely be doing the happy dance.

The year away from home develops maturity and independence that will stand her in good stead and give her additional confidence. She will have a set of friends from prep, so she will already know classmates. There are cadets of all ages in the incoming class. Many are prep, multi-year re-applicants; not all are direct admits. No one cares once you are at USAFA.

These prep schools have a long history of success of helping SA applicants get their appointments. Jump on the website for Falcon scholarships and start looking at the schools.

She will not be behind. Take the long view. It is extraordinarily difficult to get into a SA. She now has a near-guaranteed seat.

If your DD wants USAFA above all, they have told her they want her, but she needs to do this one more thing. She is understandably doing a bit of grieving for the door that just closed, but there is now another one, standing wide open, that goes to exactly the same place. Let her think it through with heart and mind.

thank you for your information. We have been confused and worried she wouldn't get into the AFA next year. Between this information and speaking with a couple of the prep schools we have found out that the USAFA sets aside the 60 falcon scholarships appointments from the year before for appointments as long as she reapplies and gets good grades. So we will better about it.

 

[Hebaragi]

Thank you Hebaragi.
I just noticed that your DS got his appointment 3/15 from CA-43, another Southern Californian.
Congratulations to you and your DS.

Thank you

We have been fortunate not been in too long for the waiting game. I hope to see more So. Cal. Appointee soon.

 

[Bob92057]

Patiently waiting here in CA-49 too....

 

[Khoody]

TX-03 waiting as well... I'm confident that the deadline to accept an appointment is tomorrow 4/15... I'm curious if we will all be notified by then or if this year will be a special circumstance.

Did it show on portal? Or just in her e-mail?

We are wondering the same thing (MT).

She got notified by email and it was on her portal too when she went there, but email first.

Well the falcon scholarships are having to accept by Friday or it is withdrawn and my DD was just notified today, she has to state the prep school too so they may not give much time in-between notification and acceptance deadline for appointments either.

If you want more info on NWP, call Mrs. Durbeck.....I'm sure she will tell you her phone is ringing off the hook right now! [emoji16]

Thank you mommahedg. Would be nice to know, but I can't access the FB group. I was looking at the list of appointees on this forum and came up with 9 from California, probably the same appointees.

Seriously, it give me hope and encouragement to look over the posts. We all have this major milestone in common and it helps that we can share information and encourage each other.
