Almost everything was submitted in December. But the last pieces (some teacher recs and the HS counselor portion) were uploaded by February 22. DoDMERB was done in November followed by a technical DQ for the acne medicine until requisite paperwork from the doc was submitted to DoDMERB clearing the way for a qualified.for those of you appointed recently (within the last week) when did you finish your application, if you don't mind me asking? Excluding DoDMERB
It's the calm before the storm.
Fingers crossed here too! But, I have to say, moving full steam ahead with Plan B (College Programmer if NROTC falls through too) has helped us a lot. We are passing the time getting to know the battalion, picking out dorms, going for a self-guided walking tour, etc. It’s kind of exciting
DS is still waiting with no LOA. We’re visiting plan B this week on spring break and hoping that distracts us! Honestly, he is handling it better than his dad and I. We are on pins and needles, and he’s just casually checking his portal every few days and telling us this is his first military test to hurry up and wait!Can I ask a question (well, I'm going to ask - feel free to not answer, haha)...
How many candidates are here waiting with NO LOA? I know there are lots of DDs, DSs and parents in the forum and only a fraction actually post. It seems that the majority of the posters are waiting on waivers but have LOAs. I have been wanting to ask because you know, perception is reality.
I'm wondering if the postal service in its typical awesomeness as of late has just been holding onto a TWE and we've just been hanging out here for fun. As much as I do love you all. I keep telling my DD that she's still in it until she's told she's not.
I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for letting me vent.
@Capt MJ - I think it's time for another interlude!![]()
My DD seems to be handling better than me... She just wants to know so she can get her mind in the right space. She has some offers, still waiting on others. Weird thing is, she doesn't really care too much about going to visit other schools right now. She said that if she doesn't get in this year, wherever she is next year will just be temporary because she's going to be applying again. And again, if need be. I hope it doesn't come to that, but it's not up to me (or any of us).DS is still waiting with no LOA. We’re visiting plan B this week on spring break and hoping that distracts us!

Do you mind sharing your stats Woop199?Waiting here in Texas with no LOA. Neither my USAFA or USNA applications have been updated...
How do you know if it's been updated? I check it several times a day, becoming an obsession :/ But it always looks the same on the My Progress tab.Do you mind sharing your stats Woop199?
1480 SAT (770/710), 4.0 GPA, principal nom, national honors society, leadership role in a big local volunteer organization, 2nd place in national scholastic poetry contest, varsity swimmer, JV cross country, held a few jobs, etc..Do you mind sharing your stats Woop199?
Oops - sorry!! I'll see if I can figure out how to move them.No offense to all of you, but this is an "Appointment" thread. You should take the "waiting" posts and move them to a new thread for USNA "waiting" like was done for the USAFA applicants:
Waiting Game
Just wanted to make a separate thread for those of us waiting.... trying to avoid so many messages in the appointment thread (I'm definitely guilty of those off-topic posts :)). Just a place to posts all our anxieties and even speculations. Best of luck to you all :popcorn1:www.serviceacademyforums.com
