<p>Thanks again to all who have replied. I sent my counselor another email asking if I meet the “minimum requirements” that the nom letter mentions. All she said was that my file looked good, I would hear something between now and March (!) and “that is all [she] can tell me for now.” Does USAFA’s staff take classes on how to be as vague as humanly possible? 
Just kidding of course. It’s almost February so I guess that means only another month or so of waiting!</p>
