Well, the TWE arrived today. Saw a white envelope through my mailbox door and I was fairly sure I knew what it was. I can't say that I was surprised, my 1st semester grades for Chem and Physics 1 weren't that great. Other than that, I though I had a pretty good record -- nearly everything from last cycle was improved. The good news is that I'm doing really great academically this 2nd semester.
So, at this point, I'm on the fence about applying for a 3rd time. I know others have done it, but if I were to arrive at I-Day for c/o 2020, I'd be 21 years old and have completed 2 years of a Mechanical Engineering major. I don't know if I'd want to start over as a Plebe, even if I did manage to validate some classes. Wouldn't it be kind of weird being put with 17 and 18-year-olds? Even at this point, I already feel as if I've distanced myself/grown so much since high school, physically, mentally and academically. Not trying to sound like an elitist, but he majority of Plebes are straight out of high school.
I am definitely going to miss, and be thinking about, I-Day induction this summer. I so wish I could be there and it seems like going through this process for another year would take an eternity. My Congressman must think I'm an idiot if I ask to be nominated for a 3rd time (I was nominated by him for c/o 2018 and 2019). I'll still be hanging around on the forums though. Good luck to everyone entering the Academy this summer.
