<p>Just wondering, is it possible to check your admission status anywhere online? Or does everything come via mail/email?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

2

<p>The admission decisions come in the mail, they won’t be anywhere online.</p>

<p>But… you can see the status of your individual parts of your application online! You just won’t be able to see admissions decisions online.</p>

<p>A number of candidates have noted that they’ve gotten the news of admissions decisions as their DoDMERB status has changed on that website.</p>

4

<p>The USMA candidate portal may also show the appointment before you receive the letter in the mail.</p>

<p>M2inOR,</p>

<p>Are you <em>positive</em> that is shows up online? Because I was told that it only comes in the mail, and would be awesome if it really does come online!</p>

<p>Positive?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>My son’s appointment as well as his nomination appeared online in his portal. He saw the info online before receiving anything in the mail. This was back in late November/early December 2009. He also accepted his appointment online in his portal, and the portal reflected his acceptance of the appointment.</p>

<p>Prior to receiving his appointment:

  • in October he cleared his DoDmerb; he had an administrative remedial due to surgery for a broken thumb earlier in the spring. He took his initial physical in June. Also in October, he attended a USMA admissions event for Oregon, where he met briefly with Major Golden who is the USMA regional admissions liaison for the Far West region. He also spent some time with a Colonel who also was visiting from USMA.
  • in November he received a “triple qualified” and then an LOA letter from the admissions office. He also met with his representative’s nomination board. Just before Thanksgiving, he was verbally informed that he would receive a nomination.
  • In early December, he eventually received the package from the admissions office indicating his appointment. The appointment showed up on his portal a day or so in advance.</p>

<p>Of course, that all made for a very nice Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.</p>

<p>Thanks! That’s good to hear.</p>
