DS found his acceptance letter in his account tonight, no call first. He’s a recruited athlete and had an LOA.
Where in the portal should I keep an eye out for the acceptance or rejection?

Did the checkbox that says "cadet candidate review board evaluation complete" update before or after you were notified?
 
Hard to tell. DD received the email stating that her status had changed, checked the portal, clicked the link, and opened the letter.

If I had to guess, I would say that the email is automatically generated when the status changes, regardless of the nature of the change.

CGA26 - did your son have a LOA or recruited athlete?
 
He was very competitive in other areas as well though - class rank, test scores, etc
Well my DS is still playing the waiting game. Recruited for baseball, 50something out of 620ish, 1310 SAT, all AP classes junior and senior year. Plus work, a couple of clubs, business academy and a little volunteer work. So we will see. The coach told him to apply EA.

Hopefully you’ll hear soon! Mine has had multiple calls with the coach, visited the Academy (inc. attending a practice, a scrimmage against another school and hung out with team). He was told to apply EA as well and the coach kept him up to date on the application status.

Good to know. My son visited the academy as well in September at the coach's request. He spent 1.5 days up there attended class with some of the swabs, attended a practice and spent time with the coaching staff and then was taken to the football game on Saturday. The coach has been calling my DS about status and sent me a couple of emails keeping me in the loop but as of now he just says application is under review and he submitted all the materials he could in support of the application
 
Sounds like they’re very similar. I’d bet needs at the position they play dictate how a coach ranks his recruits. My DS did have higher test scores and is valedictorian as well. That could’ve played into things also.

From what I'm looking at they're accepting recruited athletes first in the EA, then all the other people who applied without recruitment?

You’re basing this on a sample size of 5? Recruited athletes who are academically competitive are instructed to apply early action, so there will be a lot of them to hear from. Doesn’t mean they are being reviewed first.

Just a guess haha I just did base it off of what I saw in the forum and am probably wrong. Sorry if that mad you angry from seeing that. I apologize.
