DS's classmate received a TWE two weeks ago.

Your DS is absolutely amazing. His resilience is commendable and his resume is a true testament to the harshly competitive environment this year. Your son WILL SUCCEED anywhere!!

DS's classmate received his TWE two weeks ago.

Wishing you the best. Love your fighting spirit!!

Thank you for your words of wisdom. It gives me such comfort. Our emotions are still so raw that we will have to wait a bit before discussing re-applying. Just letting DS decompress from his tough week. Heart is heavy but trying to remain strong for him. God Bless everyone on this forum.

DS's plan B is UT at Austin. Going for the NROTC college program. He was denied the scholarship earlier this week. He has received numerous rejection letters from colleges this week. It has been quite a wake up call for him. A big lesson learned.

D22, University of Texas (Austin) NROTC. However, DS is still in the waiting game for West Point.

We received the dreaded TWE today. We are from Southern California. I wish my DS was active on this forum. He would realize he is amongst great company. He is hurting pretty badly. Don't quite know how to console my boy who is now a grown man.

BamaMama, DS's MOC interview was mid January. His nomination was then posted on portal end of January.

We are from CA-48.

My understanding is that after all the slates are determined, it is mandated that the service academies appoint the top 150 candidates (WCS). DS's nomination showed up on the portal on Jan. 30th. Feb. 5th is pretty late... I would consider this good news for you.

We are from CA-48. Wanted to spread the hopeful news to help others cope during this excruciating process. Best of luck everyone!!

DS's school had a visit from USNA Admissions today. DS was informed that admissions is still figuring out the congressional slates that were submitted late (like ours) and that the top 150 were not pulled from the NWL yet.

So sorry posted on the wrong thread. However, I know that MOC interviews for USAFA were done at the same time as USNA and USMA in our district. So I think it would be safe to say that the nominations were submitted to each service academy around the same time.
