Congratulations @Milkbone123 !!! Well done!
Thank you!Congrats CadetH4330! Way to make GA-9 proud!
I think you're right. I got the good news from my Senator today! I was told that an official notification of appointment from the Academy would be sent out March 13thGetting the feeling that calls are going out tonight. My DS just heard from his congressman with the good news. My wife is still crying, happy tears. Blue chip recruit for the fencing program. But it was the academic rigor that sold him. And after meeting and spending time 1:1 during the Summer Seminar with instructors in his intended major, he knew this was "home".

Thank you very much!Congratulations @Milkbone123 !!! Well done!
Hard to say :/. The academy says that the "majority" of appointments will be given out this month. My best guess is that most will be given within the next few weeks? But there is nothing supporting thatWhat do you suppose the actual number of appointments given totals to date? The total reporting on this thread is surely only a fraction. I am guessing about 500 so far, so about 1/3 of appointments have been given. Thoughts?
@2021mom I was a self-preppie! Best decision I've made in my life. I made relationships that'll last a life time, got into crazy good shape (lost 10 pounds and set a new personal record in the mile of 5:59!), and increased my ACT/SAT test scores! A very valuable experience that I wouldn't trade for the world!Hey @Milkbone123 were you a Falcon at NWP or self-prep, if you don't mind sharing? I think it is so so encouraging to share success stories!

Very excited to announce that I received word from my congressional office that I will be receiving an offer of appointment March 13th, the day after my birthday!! This Mainer is very happy! This is my second time applying. I attended NWP last semester and that helped immensely both academically and physically! Thank you all for the encouraging and uplifting posts, it has been a wild ride! Going to add myself to the list right now

Based on last year's appointee list on this forum, I figure an 8:1 ratio, which puts us around what you guess - slightly over 500 appointees so far, a third of the way through. Hang in there everybody, the biggest waves are approaching!What do you suppose the actual number of appointments given totals to date? The total reporting on this thread is surely only a fraction. I am guessing about 500 so far, so about 1/3 of appointments have been given. Thoughts?
Can anyone provide any guidance here please?
@AFA-Joe
1. Just because somebody in your congressional district received an appt doesn't mean that his/her appt was charged to your congressman. It could have been charged to a senator (maybe even the senator who didn't nominate you) or even a presidential nomination. You don't know, unless you know for certain that that particular appointee only had one nomination source (your representative). And even if he/she was appointed from your representatives's slate, others on the list are still eligible for appointments. Some representatives have several appointed from the same slate.
2. What Senator calls went our yesterday? Certainly not everybody's Senator made calls yesterday. Only some did - across the nation. Do you know for certain that the Senator who nominated you made calls yesterday?
3. Yes, you can end up in the national pool, from which 300-400+ are offered appointments. If your application is strong, it's not that much of a crapshoot. Only a third of appointments have been made so far, plus a few more have been notified by phone that they will be receiving an appt within a week. Still many left to go. Appointments come from now until June, although most will occur in the next 4-5 weeks.
4. Plan B needs to be developed out as if you were definitely going there. That's always the case. Even appointees need to keep up their plan B in case of physical injury between now and I-day.
Unless you know something we don't know from your comments above, it is too early to call it over.
