I am so sad for your DS. I went through this last year with my son, who also received the TWE. He was not a legacy, but his stats otherwise were similar. He was so disappointed and really derailed for a bit, especially since an NROTC TWE followed closely after. But I wanted to share with you his journey since. He signed up for the NROTC College Program, really loved it. He is at Villanova now as a MechEng. He reapplied both to NROTC and USNA, and was notified that he received an NROTC scholarship in the fall. He was ambivalent about continuing his USNA application, but decided after the fall semester that he wanted a more military environment, sent his fall grades (3.9 GPA) and received the BFE this year. Another of his NROTC classmates also reapplied, was accepted, but has elected to stay in NROTC. I am certain your DS will be happy at FSU- awesome school! but if he still has the desire for the USNA- there are many of last year's TWE crew- like me, spelly and others- whose DS and DD have BFEs for the class of 2019.
