Just curious what is the significance of Jan 8 for USMA and/or why did you think that would be the first appointment timeframe?? Thanks.
Last year USMA sent a wave of appointments on the second week of January.
January 8th does not mean anything other than hope.
See the USMA appointment thread from last year and then make your conclusions.
