USNA Class of 2027 Waiting and Speculating

For those you out there who have already received a decision (LOA or acceptance), what day of the week did it show up in the portal? I remember reading somewhere that decisions go out mostly on Fridays. However, it's totally possible this pattern doesn't actually exist.

This is probably the most frequently asked question on SAF, and also the meaningless... Don't waste your time thinking about when Admissions might update your portal. It could be any day of the week, including weekends. I get that everybody is anxious, but its a long time until April 15, and I can guarantee that nobody has been harmed because they discovered their portal has been updated the day before they looked.
 
DS said his portal status went from saying "Conditional Offer - LOA" back to " Complete - pending review". Seeing the listed LOA go away is a little unnerving. Is that a good or bad thing? I can think of it as the conditions of LOA were met and his file is getting one last review. This happen to others?

in the same boat as well. Praying for good news on both our parts :D
 
DS submitted his first semester college transcript today, and he emailed the records specialist in the candidate guidance office to let her know to keep a lookout because it was on the way. She emailed him back shortly thereafter to let him know she had received it. We checked his portal and indeed his status had changed from "incomplete" to "complete - pending review" and the checkmark for the college transcript had showed up under the progress tab. However, when he checked back in less than an hour later he had moved back into "incomplete" status, although the college transcript checkmark was still there. He should be in "complete - pending review" status now that the transcript is in and it was changed over immediately once the transcript was received...so not sure why it would revert back so quickly? I know some people have reported having an LOA status revert back to CPR right before getting an appointment, but this doesn't seem to apply to this situation since there was no LOA etc...Any thoughts on this? We are all just anxious to get the ball rolling since it feels like a slower start as a re-applicant waiting for first semester grades!
 
I wouldn’t put too much stock in what the status is every moment or hour. This is a fluid situation and admissions is dealing with more than we can imagine every day. As hard as it is, hang in there.

And even though applicants would love to get results to applications now, bear in mind these admissions folks are human, too. They also deserve to experience the holidays.

Take deep breaths, tend to what you can, respond quickly to any requests for information and spend quality time with family and friends. No matter the outcome that time is fleeting.

Woke up this morning and it was back to CPR...sure glad I didn't call/email admissions over this!
 
How long between receiving the email notice of appointment and then getting anything in the mail? Still waiting one month for the BFE with the folder from Admissions. Some private colleges came in so quickly after initial acceptance. TIA

Howdy from Texas❣️My DD’s journey sounds similar to your sons. Her first nomination just post to her portal today, she all attended Summer Seminar where she was awardees the Outstanding Candidate Award. We are anxiously awaiting an appointment. However, we called USNA and they were having issues with the Dodmerb portal. So her medical is still not showing complete. Hoping it doesn’t further delay the process. In the meantime she was just awarded the NROTC Scholarship and will use that at A&M as her plan C.

Hi! That's great! Yes, we are aware of the Dodmerb issues but I think his got in way before that happened for us is been already 3 months wait!! He is an alternate for the NROTC scholarship and will be used for Citadel or VMI as his plan C as well. So, we just try to enjoy ourselves and try to have the best memories before he goes! Time will go fast! Yes, we are anxiously awaiting an appointment as well! Merry Christmas 🎄

Honest to goodness it is a really long waiting game. We constantly reminded our DD that God had a plan for her even if we did not know it. We are both civilian and had know idea how hard the process would be. Each step she took grew her as a person and it was the best process ever. Our district did not hear till the week of April 15th. We also reminded her the odds regularly, by the time you come to the CPR with Noms stage there are no bad candidates. I worried more than she did... She executed back up plans, applied for scholarships, ran a charity event and did homework. Remind him it is his senior year... it is only once.

This is great to see your son has rock-solid alternate plans. It’s also nice to see the focus on family time.

Just to set expectations, every year there are those who diligently work hard and get everything in early. They can still wait until April to hear news of an appointment.

And every year, there are fully qualified candidates (medical/DoDMERB, physical/CFA, academic/all other evaluated areas), with 1 or more nominations, who are not offered an appointment. There are simply not enough seats in the class for all the strong candidates out there.
