Same questions here too. I wonder if they even look at the past application or will it be all new. Since it would be an application from a college freshman won't that mean new counselor and different board? What about the sports involvement - is a year-round AAU type sport good enough? I was...

My DS wrote on the thread about Junior in H.S applying... “Sir, do you know of a thread that advises TWE recipients starting their first year of college and who would like to apply for 2016? For instance, what classes to take to be most competitive, sports opportunities, ROTC (yeas/no) etc. I'd...

DS got the QNV letter. He sounds surprisingly okay, but I know he wanted this. Bummer

Wow, FalconFamily started this thread on March 1st. What a journey!! We still have no word, but will remain hopeful til the bitter end. My DS called the AFA counselor who remained vague but said he will 'hopefully get the letter today" - this was yesterday. So, immediately he thinks why...

My son was advised that kids don't kow all they should know to do well on the SAT and ACT until after their Jr year. Have him take them (do both) in June, right after school ends so it's fresh. Also, my DS took ACT in December - the Academy accepts SAT/ACT score up to the end of January (good...

Heavy sigh! No BFE, no TWE, no online status change, a tight-lipped AFA counselor, and........another day of waiting. Poor DS had a moment by the mailbox, though. He said a envelope came for him, not TW but not BF either, from the USAF!!! Opened it and it was medical board saying he was...

No BFE, no TWE, no status change online....plus, I call the USAFA counselor and she wouldn't give me any information. Why do some counselors give out info and some don't? I'll know soon enough, but still, it's a little frustrating! Good luck to all still waiting

No BFE, no TWE, tried to call but it went straight to voicemail (gee, do you think they are busy over in Admissions?) and NO STATUS CHANGE. I feel like Charlie Brown with his head up and the balloon over his head saying "AAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH". Thank-you. I'm just venting. Super excited to...

No BFE, no TWE, tried to call the Admissions counselor and no answer. So we live to Mailbox Stalk another day

District 1 here - no news is good news???

Also, Christcorp (luv him) started a thread for juniors in HS to give them a checklist as they start the process. I asked how to prepare as a freshman in college. He and another poster offerred some good tips if you want to go take a look. Hope I won't need this info, but...... Happy Tuesday...

AKA MikeR'smom....No word yet here in NW Florida. Waiting for 1415 again when DS gets home to check mail, and then waiting for the 1416 phone call (hoping!!).

Hey Neighbor, waiting for word over here in FWB! Good luck

Sir, do you know of a thread that advises TWE recipients starting their first year of college and who would like to apply for 2016? For instance, what classes to take to be most competitive, sports opportunities, ROTC (yeas/no) etc. I'd appreciate any advice

SMNE. Drat! Last week during Spring Break I barely thought about it, but today I was a "little" tense :eek3: knowing that SOMETHING was coming, then.......nothing came. Well, no news is good news. Good luck to all!

So sorry for all that received the dreaded TWE today and congrats to all that received the BFE. I'm on pins and needles as DS is scheduled to arrive home around 1415 central time. Hoping for that phone call at 1416 with whoops and hollers, but I know the odds are against it. Trying to be...

Tailwind Angel, I am feeling your pain! So excited/nervous and hopeful/dreading.... Am not planning on throwing up, but my trash can is right by my desk, so am prepared for anything!!

Can't figure out how to change name to "MikeR'sMom". My DS is leaving the Stalking up to me and is basically saying 'que sera sera'. How dare he? So looked at caller id and saw District of Columbia, did a Reverse Lookup and saw it was a wireless #. Am 99.99999% sure it was a hideous sales...

Good morning fellow Stalkers. You all are fun-crazy - I feel like I fit right in! Today and tomorrow are probably going to be big days and I'm "feeling the burn". The facebook page said the BFE's went out Monday, but probably physically din't go out til Tuesday so......:confused:

Good luck everyone! Has anyone, confidentially, performed any rituals to improve their chances? My DS is drying off with the towel he got in summer seminar and I will only drink for the AFA coffee mug I got when my little brother was there. That and happy thoughts should seal the deal, don't...
