Happened to my DS My DS also received principal nomination, yet USNA sent him a TWE, while West Point appointed him. Confusing, to say the least. There is more if you are interested. Send me a PM if you want to know MOC response to situation. My purpose is to let you know, you are not alone in...

Mentor1-My DS received TWE last year, so he proceeded with Plan B. He has been in a prestigious program, yet he re-applied and received BFE yesterday. Many fellow students have asked him why he would choose a service academy route when he is having a FUN college experience ( his Frat brothers...

Late notice Last year my DS did not receive the dreaded TWE until beginning of May! It was a long wait. A painful moment. But the moment passed and DS proceeded forward with Plan B. In the past year he became very familiar with Army, leading him to apply to West Point...BFE arrived...

You were right Sledge! Just wanted to follow-up...DS was contacted by Congressman last week and Appointment displayed in Portal this morning! Whew! Glad that step is complete, on to getting him ready for R-Day. Thank you for guidance and support! I will continue utilizing this resource and...

Katcali- I can identify with you completely! Each family has a different set of norms, but my DS would wonder who I was if I did not get in the action. I have held a letter up to the light! :redface:

My husbands cousin is USAFA alumn...has had a long successful AF career as a pilot. Congratulations! I hope the very best for you :)

Sledge thank you for your reply...you are definitely easing my crazed nerves! And you are absolutely correct about a late submission; my DS was unaware his ACT writing score did not submit with his overall ACT score, until his congressman Rep called to let him know it was "missing." So, there...

He's medically qualified.

Principal nom just received same email My son just received the same email. He has a principal nomination and his congressman has been very involved to this point with his admission's status...kinda wondering what is next? The wait is a killer!

Principal nom still waiting... My son has a principal nomination and just received notification of full qualification from Admissions Board, yet we are still waiting. Should I be worried at this point?

Thank you for letting me know your status...it helps ease the anxiety a lil bit. I hope the very best for you!!

Thank you for the advice. I will have him to do that. My son and I are attending the West Point Founders Dinner on Saturday, and I think he was hoping to know something before then. I realize it's not probable, I just don't want him to expect an appointment to occur at the Reception. As...

I am not sure. We have received zero correspondence. He contacted admissions today via email, but no response at this time. I can see on the portal that he is medically qualified, but the other 2 areas are not listed.

Just wondering if anybody from Minnesota District 8 has received an appointment? My son was given a principal nom from congressman, yet we still know nothing. Guess I am as impatient as everybody else at this point.

Spud- You are dead on, your Freshman year is identical to my sons experience! Thank you for responding. I expect him to receive denial as you did, and I hope he has the character to do as you did.

Further info I would like to add additional information to my above post. This is my son's second attempt at getting into a service academy. In 2013, he received triple qualification but not a Principal nom, in May of 2013 he received denial letter from USNA stating although highly competitive...

My son is in 2nd semester at state University and just received Principal nomination from Congressman. I am very proud but also concerned his first semester college grades will cause him to be denied. I won't go into detail regarding accomplishments, but will that matter if he completed his...
