THE FORMAT: This is the simplest and oldest format, a straight text list, no formatted tables, that is described in following paragraphs. If you decide to import a table or spreadsheet format to “help” the thread, please take full responsibility for it to the end of the cycle. Provide clear instructions. Check in regularly to help those who have trouble with it. Rescue those who give up or don’t bother and just leave a name in the hope someone will scoop it up and add it. The Class of 2025 list sputtered to a halt in a shambles, with names left behind and frustration abounding, until a kindly poster re-converted the data back to a simple list. Most posters can handle the simple list, and other posters find it relatively easy to help duplicate a simple list. Having a complete list at the end of the cycle can give hints of trends and is just plain fun to watch.

HOW TO ADD A NAME:
This is self-reporting, self-updating and DIY. Mods don't update the list. Kindly posters occasionally do, but the burden falls on posters to copy the list, add their entry and post the updated list.

WHO SHOULD POST: This is meant primarily to be a list of appointees to USMMA (candidates with sponsored prep school offers [Class of 2027] should celebrate in their own thread), so we can see the class build. If you have a question to ask, it probably deserves its own thread, and this one can stay relatively true to its purpose.

HOW TO CREATE UPDATED LIST:
Copy the most recent list, paste into new post, use the next number, enter your info in a similar format, post. If you don’t do this, and just post an entry and not the updated list, you risk the next poster updating the last list, the one without your name, and leaving your entry stranded and not included. Please do the neighborly thing and update the entire list with your entry.

USING THE QUOTE FUNCTION:
Just using the Quote function and adding an entry does not create a complete, updated, new list, usable by the next poster. But - you can try using the Quote function, deleting the “quote stuff” at beginning and ending of list text does give you the list in non-quote form. Add your entry.

Don’t forget to go back and update Undecideds! Same drill - Copy list, paste into new thread, update your entry, post.

We were very pleasantly surprised to receive the LOA this early considering she was not a recruited athlete. Her sister is KP '24.

Nice to see! LOAs always bring relief.

It’s not clear from your comments whether DD has an actual offer of appointment in hand to act on in her portal, or at this point, an interim Letter of Assurance promising an offer if all conditions are met, such as the nomination, DoDMERB, etc. These appointment threads usually reflect those with live offers of appointment. It can get confusing to those following the cycle’s production of actual offers of appointment if the list mixes the various statuses.

Great news on the LOA. Best wishes and good luck to DD for success in getting a nom and completing all qualifications!

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. From the letter: "The Candidate Evaluation Board has recommended you for an appointment to the [USMMA] at Kings Point. Accordingly, I have reserved an appointment for you contingent upon a nomination and continued excellence in school."

Her application is complete with exception to the nominations. My source at the Senator's office (Delaware) is telling me that this year they have less than half of the normal applicants for nominations.

Feel free to delete my addition to the list if needed.
 
Here is the current list of candidates with actual offers of appointment.

Let’s hope any candidates fortunate enough to receive the rare gift of a Letter of Assurance (LOA) quickly fulfill any requirements and just as quickly see the appointment offer pop up on their portal or get The Call from an elected official.

Hey, I am waiting for my MOC to officially announce nom, but I am also (highly likely) going for T&F. Any chance your DS is a 110H or short sprinter? Hope I am not being rude or intruding. Just want to see if I can kinda know someone going in :)

Not at all! Thanks for reaching out. He is in fact a sprinter! I am very new to posting on here so if you message me he said it would be great to share contact info with you. And congratulations!
 
I tried to figure out the proper way, but I misread the directions. Sorry about that.
Good feedback, the clarity of the directions is always a major factor.

The important thing is - you are a proud member of the list for this class, no matter your eventual decision. Nice to see the accomplishment sparkling away.

Second attempt to post this, but since her LOA said she would have an appointment contingent upon a nomination. Well, the nomination came in so here we are. Now, we are waiting to hear on the other schools.

Merry Christmas and good luck to all the others still waiting!

Cheers,
