USAFA Waiting Thread C/O 2027

Are the candidates chosen from the National Wait List also part of the 600+ offers that were sent out?
USAFA didn't tell us "who they are" only a number and a time period.

ALOs can share "some" information but most is held by USAFA for their release. I can tell you 600 +/- was accurate. I can tell you that MOCs are given up to a week to make the announcements if they choose before USAFA releases the information. I can't tell you who those offers go out to but...with 535 members of Congress...probably a few have more than one opening they're going to fill...

That last part is ME speculating.

Does this mean that those offers could be coming out this week? Or are all of those offers part of the last wave?

The numbers on the 2027 Appointment List, so far, do not support that 600 appointment offers have been communicated to applicants in the last week or so. Since March 7, which appears to be the date that the first MOC call went out from this list of 600, 30 names have been added to the Appointment List. That is significantly fewer than the typical Appointment List posting rate of 14% (e.g. last year 194 out of 1375). In other words, if 600 applicants were informed of appointments, that would typically result in at least 80 posting it here. That hasn't happened; in fact, not even close. So either the percentage of applicants posting here mysteriously went way down this year for some unknown reason (or there is some inexplicable delay in posting on a wide scale), or appointees have not been informed yet of their appointment among the 600 for one reason or another.

I like the way you think @franknd
 
I sure hope this is true. With 600+ offers going out last week per @flieger83, It's plausible that posting of offers to this forum are just delayed. This delay could be caused by a lack of awareness SAF even exists. Recent appointees who are unaware of SAF may come across the forum as they google commonly-asked questions about the Academy, BCT, etc. and end up adding their name to the list with their March 14th appointment date. The chart technical analyst in me says that the March 14th announcement was definitely another "breakout" but it remains to be seen how big of a run it was. The pattern seems to be closely following that of c/o 2023 with a slight delay in timing.
If you read the post closely, he said that the offers went out to the MOCs last week and that USAFA gives them a week to notify the nominees if they desire. After the week, they will post them to the portal. I would take this to mean that the offers are in the portal tomorrow, but most likely next week.

No.

It means what it says: 600-ish offers were sent out to MOCs a week ago...they had time to make their own announcements if they chose.

When USAFA will put them out to the portals? I don't know but clearly, some have already "dropped" as some posters here have said they received them.

Read nothing into what I wrote: I don't know ahead of time (maybe a day if I'm fortunate, but RR doesn't consult with me), the numbers, etc.

I realize this is hard and possibly harsh but: just sit back and wait. It will all be revealed when it's time. And NOBODY on this board controls the process.

I should have written, "or some appointees have not been been informed yet . . . ." It would seem that at least somewhere north of 215 of the 600 have been notified since March 7.

@allvolTNTami - Would you please share your TN District?
 
Is there a hard date that USAFA stops taking updates from candidates such as academic or athletic awards received?

I don't believe so. They accepted an award and letter my DS received two weeks ago. They acknowledged receipt and upload to his application.
 
OK thanks. My DS tried to provide some updates and was told no additional updates can be made at this time. Should he read into that at all?
 
@backpacking2026 if you don't mind me asking which Colorado Senator did you get your nomination from? My son got his from Bennet and both of you got your appointments. I was just curious if you were both Bennets picks or if you got yours from Hickenlooper.

It's nice seeing five Colorado kids on the list so soon.
 
I have watched this incredibly helpful forum for nearly a year, but only "officially" registered just a day ago.

I want to thank so very much all those who consistently contribute such valuable insights and updates around this mysterious process to rest of us who know so little about it, feel like we are completely in the dark, but are holding on to high hopes for our kids with big dreams. This has been by far the most valuable, informative and support resource available. I especially appreciate the "insider information" coming from those in some way currently or previously affiliated directly with the Academy. I know I speak for many when I say how grateful I am for your wisdom and willingness to share.

On Thursday, I read flieger83's post stating "600-ish offers were sent out to MOCs a week ago...they had time to make their own announcements if they chose." I thought wow, 600 - that's a lot. Watching the self-reporting appointee list grow to near 100, this news provided a big boost of hope. And what a special personal touch to potentially hear the big news directly from your nomination source. Again, who would have known about all this other than someone tied in and wise to how and when things are truly happening, offering this to us.

Maybe it was the luck of the Irish at work yesterday, but almost exactly 24 hours later, my son received a call from one of the Senators who nominated him. The biggest gift of all was that my husband happened to be with him when he received the call, and heard my son's end of the entire conversation, watching his elation unfold real time.

No update in the portal as of yet (so I hope I'm not jumping the gun!) but mostly wanted to express my gratitude to this group. And also to confirm that flieger83 must be on to something, with likely many many more calls being made now and in the coming days! Wishing the best possible luck to all!
