USAFA Waiting Page C/O 2028

ALO updated DS last night… DS is in the wings for an as of yet unaccepted appointment in our state. It just reminded me that there’s always someone on the other side trying to make one of the most important decisions of their life - praying for that appointee and all kids who are finalizing plans as we draw near to May 1.

That is great information to have. Praying for decisions and for each to end up where they need to be.

I’m impressed with some of y’all’s ALO interactions. My DS has not had a very responsive ALO. And he’s found him pessimistic when he does get responses. We’re currently waiting to hear back from his now.

I have to say, DS has a wonderful ALO. His eagerness to talk with DS by text, phone call, and in person, has been a bright spot in this journey!

Hoping your DS gets some clarification on his situation soon!

This is reassuring news. My daughter has yet to hear anything at all. I hope it's the same then for her! We are from Maryland, Cardin's nomination. Her ALO is amazing, and has been trying to make her at ease with this whole process, its not for the week minded.

Are you guys on the waitlist or have had no correspondence? I had the Cardin nomination as well from Maryland and I received a rejection not too long ago. I wish you the best of luck!
 
DS just got his denial email tonight. He is heart broken, but the good lord must have a different plan for him.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
I wish him the best of luck, tell him not to ever give up! Encourage him to chase his dreams! Like many of others have said that I've read, re-apply if his heart is set on USAFA. In the mean time, he could attend an ROTC program for Air Force, or if his goal is to serve, apply to any of the other venues to reach that goal !!! Should my daughter get the same news as him, this is exactly what she plans on doing !!!
 
They do have to give you a decision either way, right? This waiting is brutal. We have not seen any updates at all ...
They’ll notify. At this stage, and based on last year’s pending people, I think its safe to assume we won’t hear anything until May 1 or after. Keep living life! I have gotten so much done this week thanks to the need for distraction. 😅
 
Got a twe from usafa last week. Got into usma yesterday. I am stronger academically vs athletics. Trying to make decision on 4 y t 1 usaf rotc at Virgina tech - physics vs West Point. I’m grateful but was hoping my choice was two academies - I am army jrotc in high school. Trying not to process why I came up short at usafa but wondering.

I understand the decision making is tricky, but having a direct appointment to “only one” SA and the option of a 4 year afrotc scholarship are options many would love to have at this stage. Being offered full tuition in two branches of service - those are incredible options.😉

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve. But I’d be lying if I did not say I am torn up by decision.

I understand. There are lots of these stories represented on the forums right now. Candidates who had the decision made for them (TWE/no ROTC), candidates who received an offer they weren't expecting (Prep/FFS), or who received an appt to an SA that was not their primary. Lots of pivoting happening - and lots of people who can speak to the options before you. Stop tearing yourself up internally and start asking questions. You'll figure out where to land, and that will be the best day. ;)
