USAFA Waiting Thread C/O 2027

Has nobody been rejected up to that point?

I have a friend who was sent a rejection letter in January. But, to be fair, his CFA was sub-par and his leadership experience was negligible. He got the nomination but was sent a denial within a month.

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).

I agree. I was rejected by USMA in February, despite being 3Q and having 2 NOMS. GEtting the TWE earlier gave me more time to move into plan B

I generally agree with one caveat. In what appears to be an unusual situation like last year, in which there were only 1,775 "Qualified Candidates," admissions may legitimately not know until very late who won't make it. There were 1,375 offers of admission, and then some number of offers on top of that for USAFAPS and FF. So of the "Qualified Candidates" last year, the vast majority received some sort of offer.

Last year seemed pretty anomalous in that regard, but without knowing how many "Qualified Candidates" there are, it's hard to know how many such applicants are truly out of contention.

Sorry to hear that!

Maybe USAFA is sending out rejections, but it seems like there are a ton of us waiting. Maybe all competitive, but my guess not. It’s really hard to tell unless you are reviewing the records. But I’m sure there are those are below the cut line and it seems like an early rejection would help you move on a little better. I’m sure those still waiting are working on Plan B, but it really helps to know for sure and move on. Just an opinion….

Oh, don’t get me wrong, if you’re legitimately still in the running, then certainly keep your file open. It’s like being waitlisted to a university, if enough applicants go to other schools, you might backfill a slot.
I just haven’t heard of many of us getting rejections. It seems like a flood of twe’s going out in late April.
 
Can someone share what a USAFA CPR portal looks like? DD just showed me hers and it doesn't look like it has in the past, but she doesn't have an offer

The portal looks different than it did? Mine doesn’t even say CPR- I just have a “100%” and all my checkmarks.

CPR is a USNA portal thing and does not apply to USAFA.

When you have a decision, there will be a the big Golden envelope that says your decision is ready where the 100% is now. Impossible to miss.

Thank you. DD also applied to USNA and I've been over on their thread so the "CPR" was stuck in my head. Not intended to throw anyone off. Yes, hers just shows 100% with all the check marks.

Good Luck everyone still waiting! We're down to the last few days (hopefully).
 
I saw an email form someone from the USAFA that was sent to my son. I did not open it. The subject line stated something about " Identified as an Apointee seekin a medical waiver".
He and his momma are in Costa Rica on a school trip.
USNA and USCGA granted his waiver and received appointments. USAF is his dream school.
Thoughts?

You don't know if it is time sensitive? Can you contact them?

I texted them and told DS to check his portal. They will be home Sunday. Hopefully it is not much of a time sensetive thing.
He will check it when they have wifi.
Thanks.

That's interesting. Aside from the obligatory initial contact with the mentor ALO that my son initiated, my son has not heard a thing from his mentor.

Well my DS mentor is MIA from the get go. Luckily he was able to push through with the others and got through. Now that he received his appointment certificate, the SA has notified the mentor ALO and so far we heard nothing from him.
