momof1: USNA has whatever email address the candidate submits for each teacher, so it’s important to make sure that the address is typed correctly BEFORE the application is officially submitted. A typo in the address might be the reason the teacher hasn’t received any info from USNA. As a post above stated, each teacher should receive the request from USNA immediately after their address is submitted.

LOAs are not the be all and end all of pursuing an Appointment, but my daughter was very glad to have her entire package completed before beginning senior year. As I have posted before, given the length of time it took for her medical waiver to be granted (1 Aug initial exam, waiver the following 13 May), she would not be part of the Class of 2012 if she had not turned everything in extremely early. Besides that, her teachers were, frankly, glad to have her request during the summer, when they had plenty of time to deal with it, without a deadline looming, and without other students’ requests.

Just a different perspective.
