Is this common?



My son has applied to both USNA and AFA – Congressional nomination in December, rejected by DoDMerb, but then approved waiver (for USAFA) in early March. USNA approved academics and physical fitness. But, no LOA.

So far, our congressional office has not heard YES or NO from either academy. His contact at USAFA hoped to know last week, but is now saying maybe mid-April. USNA is also saying mid-April.

The waiting is not fun – is this common? Does anyone have insight into what is likely happening ‘behind the scenes?’

Thanks in advance.
