AFA has fewer applicants

We are in nearly the same situation, but have had a little more communication with the admissions officer at AFA and our congressional staffer in charge of the nomination process. At this point, the early decision and regular decision candidates have been notified. If you haven’t heard anything yet, you are still in the pool of candidates to backfill as appointees make their final decision. Since many appointees have multiple appointments (AFA, USNA, WP, etc.), there will naturally be more openings, especially after the 5/1 deadline for accepting the appointment. While there is still a chance for appointment - and CC members are very encouraging! - chances are very small at this point in time. We have moved on with our second choice college plans and are amazed at how good it feels to not be waiting anymore. Good luck and I hope you hear some good news soon!
