It can't be said enough times. EACH APPLICATION IS UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL!!! Your chances of an appointment are ALSO UNIQUE. I know people want to be told "Where they stand". But it doesn't and can't work that way. What makes it more difficult, is that when a person declines an appointment, that too is unique. If a person who was offered an appointment using a MOC slot, presidential slot, etc... and they turn it down; the academy is going to go back to that slate first to make another offer. They aren't going to the national pool; even though those from the particular slate are in the national pool. In other words, you could be the #1 NON-Selectee from the National Pool; sitting in the #1 slot; and 20 people could be offered an appointment ahead of you because the vacant slots are in their districts, state, presidential slates, etc... And unfortunately, there is nothing that anyone here can do to help you know "Where you stand". A counselor can tell you one thing, that "Sort of" applies to YOU. Yes, another person can call the same counselor because their name is the same letter of the alphabet, and can be told something totally different because of their application, their ranking, and the vacancies that affect them.
Sorry that this is not an answer to many people's questions, but it's the way it is. There is no new WAVE of letters, appointments, etc... being sent out. From here on out, everything is pretty much on an individual basis. If you haven't received a TWE yet, then that's good. It means you are really close. What you're waiting on is for someone to turn down an appointment in your slate/category or for something to be worked out with qualification for someone in your slate/category. Does that mean you are getting an appointment? No. It simply means you still have a chance. Someone with a TWE mathematically has a chance still of an appointment, but I wouldn't count on it. Best of luck to all of you; and relax. There's nothing that you can do here to change the outcome. mike.....
