Congratulations! Which team, if you don’t mind saying?
 
That must mean you log in to the “application” page. That confused me for a little bit. You can log into Bears Den and hit “application” at the top to go to the page I think you are referring to
yes. so DS checked this morning and once he clicks on the "application" tab at the top he gets an error message. never happened before....

If you did not log out of your previous session on the Bears den then you will get the error page. I’ve had to close out all the pages and clear the history and try again.
 
Not sure if I should put this out there but...

Of course I’m proud and I’m glad I took the chance to apply! Plan B and C are already set up and in motion. I checked the portal religiously up to 6 times a day. Almost any time I opened my laptop or browser on my phone. I saw that all check boxes except the evaluation board were gone and that one remained check and it led me to my decision.

I am so sorry. DS was same last year. A quick question if you don't mind. Are you a reapplicant? The reason I ask is that DS is a reapplicant and has 2 profiles (1 from last year and 1 for this year). There was nothing for this year but when DS checked last year's profile, your same Capt Fredie's letter pops up. DS is a little confused and wanted to see for some reason they replied in his profile for last year in error.

Does the letter in the old profile mention the class of 2025 like the one posted? If so, I’d assume it’s for the current admissions cycle. If not, it’s probably an older letter.
 
It’s often said that the Service Academies bring out characteristics in young men and women that they didn’t know they had. In my DD’s case, that certainly holds true, even though she has yet to step foot on the campus. Because of the vision of attending a Service Academy (that started a few years ago) , she became an athlete, a leader in school, a 2nd LT in Civil Air Patrol, and so on. The best part has been riding in the car together to all those activities.. laughing, complaining about trivial nonsense, bragging about small victories, Starbucks at 4AM, developing a world class work ethic and attitude, and the bonding that comes with all that. lt has been an amazing journey that we wouldn’t trade for anything. I hope that her waiver is granted and that USCGA is another piece of the definition of who she is. I am certainly grateful for ALL the brave young men and women who want to serve our country. Good luck to everyone this week!

There is a date in the upper right hand corner I cropped due to identity reasons. He can check that. I am not a reapplicant.

Was this on your Bears Den page today/for this year (class of 20205)?

The letter mentions the class of 2025 but it is dated 4/1/2020. That is why DS is confused.
 
DS checked his portal too. His rejection letter was posted. Now I can stop visiting this forum and over-analyzing all the posts 🤣 In all seriousness, we are bummed but we know this was not God’s will for him. Best of luck to all applicants (& parents) still waiting to hear!!

Where do they post the rejection letter. The bears den portal(the website where they have checkbox for teacher evaluations, CEEB, etc) or the application portal that we complete our application?

The ApplyYourself application portal you use to complete the application
 
Do you know where admission post the decision letter? The homepage of the website or in the “message center” of the website?
The homepage. Once you login, it’ll be right there underneath the names of your recommendation providers. It will say Decision Status: Available Beginning [date] with a link to your letter, whether accept, waitlist, or reject.
