Someone, I think it was in another thread, explained that the "top tier" of candidates get their notification early. In the same way, the very bottom of candidates also received TWE initially. Each successive "round" of TWE and appointments the candidates are closer to each other in terms of what the admissions folks are looking for, so to speak. So at this point, the lines on the graph have nearly converged and you could literally jump from one line to the other based on the smallest of factors, some of which are likely out of the control of the candidate (i.e. It ain't all test scores or physical test results at this point. Sure they are a factor, but other factors like geography, gender, race and who knows what else could be THE factor at this point.) Regardless, I have convinced myself and my son that staying in this game is a real testament to him and his accomplishments. It's going to be a razor thin margin at this point and regardless, as many have said in other threads, he needs to hold his head high and realize he got very far down the path. Whatever is going to happen, he can't change that outcome at this point. Neither can I. Honestly, I am not sure God himself could. It's just fate at this point.
I could be entirely full of crap, but I have been reading alot since that is what you do when you are on the island this late in the process. I login to his portal at least twice a day, and I believe he does as well. His BGO does at least once a day as well. We are all eat up with anticipation.
