USNA Class of 2029 Waiting, Speculating, Hoping

This is getting real.
Nominations, Appointments;
When will we all hear?
Depending on your state and when you complete your interviews and application it can vary greatly. Noms can take a few weeks or months from what I have seen posted. USNA appointment can be quick as in my DS case, or right up until I-Day as it seems to happen to 1 or 2 every year.

In SE PA my DS was fortunate to have completed his congressional interviews by November. Received LOA from USNA on morning of 12/23 and then that afternoon notified via email that he received USNA & USAFA PA-6 nomination from Chrissy Houlahan. Then received USMA Senate nomination from PA Toomey in a letter on 12/31 and USAFA appointment in mid Jan.
 
Well it was a really rough ride last year. Although DD#1 was eventually qualified through DoDMERB with no waivers needed it took them months to get their act together. There was some problem and the academy finally had to get involved. She had received an LOA and the only thing pending was medical. I had no experience at any of this and I don't think I was much help to her. She piloted this ship all on her own. She is currently a plebe in class of 2028.
But wait!
There's more!
Now after summer seminar and visiting on plebe parents weekend and talking to Big sis, DD#2 has decided to apply to USNA for class of 2029. I didn't realize I got to do this roller coaster twice! In a row no less.
I would love to do a survey of the students at USNA and find out how many are only children or firstborns. And then how many are middle children.
DD#3 is a sophomore so she would be in class of 2031 if she applies and is admitted. She has a recent health challenged to overcome first.

Good luck to all applicants!!!
