Is April 21st the date when most candidates should be notified of their status?

That’s the big question. In years past that was a fairly good marker for a lot of notices coming through but as of now everything seems to be running a bit behind, maybe because DODMERB was down so long? Who really knows, we are all guessing at this point.

Gosh, I hope it doesn’t go past the 21st!!
 
Just analyzed the previous “waves” of appointments, I was able to come up with the most common days that they come. 7 have come on Mondays, 5 on Tuesdays, 3 on Wednesdays, and 2 on each Thursdays and Fridays. Just interesting, it may be random but it appears that most appointments come at the beginning of each week.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't look for a wave next week. If that were coming, I believe some people would have already received calls from their MOC and posting about it here. Of course, MOC calls preceding a wave could occur next week, but at this point I wouldn't be expecting a wave of portal notifications next week.

I'm starting to think April 21 may be a slew of direct appointments, USAFAPS, FF, and TWEs, with the offers having until May 1 to decide. Then backfill offers until everything is full. Just a WAG.

I think you are right about April 21st
 
Does USAFA send out rejections on a rolling basis or do they all mostly get sent out at the end of the admissions process?
 
USAFA will start to send out "non-select" notices on April 21st...don't expect a "slew" of appointments alongside the non-select notices.

It seems like it would be good policy to make cuts earlier in this process. There are a bunch of applicants that aren’t competitive. Most of us think they are competitive (or their parents do), but really aren’t in the running. Ends the waiting for those that are clearly not getting selected (for whatever reason).

Do you have visibility on appointment numbers? Are you suggesting that appointments are going to materially roll into May? Is there an explanation why the posted appointment numbers here are 40% below final appointment numbers posted here for the last three years, which have been remarkably consistent?

What I have visibility to, I can't reveal as I'm an active ALO and USAFA/RRS has not released the information. I can say what I did; April 21st they will start "rolling out" notices of non-selection. Beyond that, I don't have their total numbers of appointment offers/acceptances, etc.

Has nobody been rejected up to that point?

Fair enough, and the April 21 date for TWE is no surprise. But your statement, "don't expect a 'slew' of appointments alongside the non-select notices" seems like a conundrum unless I'm overreading it and the phrase "alongside the non-select notices" is carrying the bulk of the weight. Bottom line is that the visible evidence -- four years of posted history in this forum and this year's DoDMERB delays, which USAFA admissions itself evidently pointed to in an admissions briefing just a month ago in which they apparently said to expect a lot of April appointments -- still suggests a lot of missing direct appointments.
 
If you MOC is no longer in office, would I receive communication from the current occupant?

You should, if they choose to communicate- My dd is in the same position. You receive the nomination from the district. So should be communicated from the MOC from the district.
 
Anyone from Alabama received or waiting for an appointment? Seems to me there haven’t been a lot from here that have been given out.
