So far, only offers. However, we haven't seen many TWEs yet.

To be honest, I had hoped for a prep option for both of boys. Oldest has thrived in all three areas at USAFA without it, but he would have had adjustment time and made so many connections during a prep year. I won't be sad for one second if DS#2 is offered prep.

Do you have an LOI in your portal?

They have to wait until appointments are accepted and appointee kits are completed. Last year it was delayed because several appointees were dragging their feet on their appointee kits so it does vary year to year.

That sounds encouraging!

My ds's did too! Guess we'll know soon. I think I'm more nervous for him now!

Some rejection letters (TWEs) have gone out.

I'm not sure anyone but admissions knows. I suspect that most will hear by the end of the week, but that there will be a small group who is kept hanging.

Two years ago, ds#1 was initially awarded a type 7 after the first board with a 1390 SAT (his highest one-time sitting since AFROTC doesn't superscore). It was upgraded to a type 1 after the last board. This year, ds#2 was awarded a type 1 (only type they have now) after the first board with a...

That sounds like an appointment should be coming for your ds. From what I understand, he would only be passed over if he is not qualified and that is probably not the case for him. I wonder if they have been trying to finalize where appointments are being charged before sending out final...

Which TAMU outfit is your USAFA hopeful thinking about? That is our new plan B conundrum. So many choices. Mine will be AFROTC as well.

My ds is in a similar situation. Only 1 nom (from a TX senator so we have to think he's decently competitive). He already received AFROTC and 4yr AROTC during the first boards. He got an LOI back in October and has heard nothing since. Sent in an update this week and was told, "thanks and...
