Still in the game

I've not been part of this group because DS got his appointment early on BUT I have kept up with you all-sometimes hourly. I so wish they could all be at IDay. I really hope they all know how fabulous they are to have made it this far. To you moms and dads-kudos as well. Rearing driven and accomplished kids is no easy feat. Still hoping for those who have not received news yet.
 
I am very sorry and sad to hear of the TWE's that came in the last 24 hours. Today we got a BFE. Actually got two of them from different universities with generous financial aid packages. Not what we were looking for but not something to disregard either. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Good luck to all and a huge congratulations to all that have finished this tortuous journey even more so to those that received the TWE. Now life can go on with some degree of normalcy and many can be content in knowing that they were among the chosen few to get this far in the competition. Definitely not any consolation but perhaps a sigh of relief and a chance to breathe again. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that remain as we wait in anticipation to ponder and eventually see what next will bring.
 
Sad to hear all the TWEs. God bless you all. TWE arrived here today too. DS on CGA waitlist so hopes still high for an appointment. If not, solid plan B (NROTC at SUNY Maritime College) and reapply next year. All the best to the remaining candidates and congrats to all the appointees!
 
All - I'm so sorry to hear about the abundance of TWE's. I was rather stunned as I had not checked the portal today. As others have said - you or your sons/daughters will land heartily on their feet and find another way:thumb: Making it this far in the process is a testament to their credentials.

I sit here on pins and needles - DS left this morning to participate with his CAP squadron in the Bataan Memorial Death March. He finally has a weekend off - and he decides to go on a 26 mile walk/run/hike - go figure! I told him we would NOT get the mail. I'm beginning to regret that. But bad news can wait another day, and good news should be his to discover first.:rolleyes:
 
So sorry for those who got the TWE today. Best wishes to you on Plan B. We are still on the island of hope. til Monday......
 
Where are the BFEs???

Ohh, and another thought - WHERE ARE THE BFEs:confused: You'd think that USNA could have sent out a few BFEs mixed in with all the TWEs:help:
 
The mail finally just got here. Lots of it but nothing from USNA. So we remain in the wait until next week. everyone have a restful Sunday.
 
End of the road

Got the TWE today after getting home from work. Really tough especially since earlier today I had a nomination ceremony held by my MOC. Guess it's time for plan B... It's the end of the road for now; not sure if I am ready to go through this whole process again starting April. All the appointees I knew, the current 1/C's at the Academy, I won't be seeing them on July 1st...
 
Voted off the island today - TWE arrived today as well. Heartbreaking. DS is out with friends - dreading telling him tomorrow. I just can't believe it - they all work so hard to have their dreams come true. I guess God has a different plan for him but why did he put the idea in his head to begin with ?!?!? Good luck to all who are left. GO NAVY!
 
I'm losing all my friends. I am so heartbroken.

I am in tears for all those that received the TWE today. I just read five pages of one of my favorite places to be and am in kind of shock. So sorry to hear. I wish you all the best and am praying for healed feelings and emotions.

Good luck in all you will do and good luck for those that are still waiting.
 
Sorry to hear about the TWE's :/... I didn't receive a nomination but I haven't gotten a TWE yet. Any ideas on why it hasn't come yet?
 
So sad to read today. No mail for us. Just still wondering and half dreading.

Encouragement

Last year DS received TWE in April. We shared the same roller coaster of emotions many of you are feeling. We were never sure of where he fell short. DS pursued plan C and chose to reapply. He challenged himself to be one year better. This meant another year of emotions and mailbox anxiety for us. He did receive a BFE this year, so we are thankful for the many folks who encouraged him to reapply. It has been a very long year, but a great one.
