<p>Well there has hasn’t been much going on, so I figured I’d start a new thread…</p>
<p>Anyone been accepted yet? If not, when do you think we’ll start seeing acceptances? Sorry if I’m a little apprehensive.</p>
<p>I’m really surprised with all the “highly qualified” individuals on here that we haven’t seen anyone get accepted yet, oh well.</p>
<p>I thought it took a long time to get the acceptance/rejection news. Maybe I am wrong, how long does it usually take? Less than a week? That would be awesome.</p>
<p>For SS, I got accepted the same day, but I applied in February.</p>
<p>When did yall apply? I applied last night... and waited for hours for the confirmation email... literally like 2 1/2 hours for it... still no email... I get an idea... AIM mail apparently marked it as SPAM! Man was I mad. It was sent as soon as I sent in the application though. Not acceptance, just the confirmation.</p>
<p>I applied yesterday on the fourth, like you. So the decision comes in the form of a second email after the confirmation?</p>
<p>I have no idea.</p>
<p>I applied the night it opened, around 7 PM EST. Man I thought I would find out in a day or too seeing that I have a pretty good looking application. Sounds like its going to be a long time before I find out...</p>
<p>By the night it opened, are you referring to January 1? Because it wasnt open for me until the third I think.</p>
<p>Applied right after New Year's last year and got an e-mail acceptance on Jan 25th. The registration packet came the first week of April.</p>
<p>I finally got it in yesterday:). Hopefully we'll be finding out soon. What sessions did you guys choose A or B or both? I chose A or else I would have missed 2 regents.</p>
<p>Last year S applied at the earliest possible moment -- Jan 1, I believe. He got an acceptance e-mail on the first day that the holiday season was over.</p>
<p>DtD,</p>
<p>Yes, I applied the 3rd also.</p>
<p>Darla,</p>
<p>What do you mean by the holiday season ended? When the cadets go back to school?</p>
<p>Well I'm not as worried seeing that no one else has been accepted. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Josh -
"What do you mean by the holiday season ended? When the cadets go back to school?"</p>
<p>I was talking about when government employees had to go back to work after the 1st. (My husband works for the government. Since Jan 1 was on a Sunday last year, he got Jan 2 off.) We "assumed" that AFA employees got the same time off. Son received e-mail on the 3rd.</p>
<p>Darla,</p>
<p>Do you mind posting your son's stats so everyone can see how they compare?</p>
<p>well my brother just got accepted to USMA SLS. It didnt take long at all for him, but they have rolling acceptance I'm not sure about USAFA</p>
<p>Yeah, I applied the 3rd. I know the West Point SS gets back to you like three days later, but I have no idea how long the Air Force Academy takes to get back to you.</p>
<p>If you are rejected will you receive word as quickly as if accepted?</p>
<p>SLS opened applications on December 15th though, so I would expect that the first qualified applicants would normally be getting accepted now for SLS.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it was supposed to open on the 1st but because Gerald Ford died, it extended the holiday and closed Federal facilities until the third, that's the first day I was able to apply anyway, and I was trying every couple of hours.</p>
<p>Just a head's up, the Air Force Academy tends to take longer than West Point and even Annapolis do. When I first started applying to USMA, the admissions panel let me know before a week was up that they wanted me (I didn't even have half of my application done). For USAFA, I pretty much had everything squared away before school started in September, and I didn't get an LOA till October. Things just take more time with the Air Force, in my experience. But it's definitely worth the wait! :)</p>
