AFA has fewer applicants

<p>Is this common? </p>

<hr>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
