Ah, well that's a decent thing to hope for then, hopefully when those TWEs go out I'll keep that in mind.

So for this, would you have had to apply already? Do they offer this even if you don't apply?

If you spend this year as a freshman at a public university then reapply next year AFA, I would assume you have to go in as a freshman, so what happens to your credits from that first year University?

Some credits maybe applied depending on if they meet AFA requirements.

Not sure what you mean by "Turkey Shoot". Thx

USNA issued a large number of denials in a single day. Perhaps a reference to the 'Great Marianas Turkey Shoot' in 1944 when naval aviators shot down a large number of Japanese aircraft in a single day.

DD told this am that Prep/Falcon have not gone to board yet (will be before April 20th), so a couple more weeks. let's hope lots of our DD/DSs get an offer!

Is that possible/likely after TWE? Or is that still for the CPR amongst us?
 
From reading last years TWE posts and the year before, there may be wording on the TWEs that says basically end of the line for USAFA/Prep or just USAFA...if it's the latter there is still a chance for a Prep/Falcon offer.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's heard of the "Marianas Turkey Shoot." Down south that usually refers to shooting easy targets, and many of them. Hence the use in 44. I guess the USNA is shooting down the hopes of many a poor lad or gal this week. So many fine kids. Hope they all have plans B & C....

Enjoy paranoia math for days.
Ok, so I did the math comparing last years appointment numbers with the trend using the average growth rate of the offers of appointment compared to names on the forums. I found that compared to last years total number of offers: 1559 ( http://www.serviceacademyforums.com...rofiles-usna-offers-vs-usna-acceptance.48348/ ) , the forum represented 128 ( http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/class-of-2019-appointment-thread.39955/page-30 ) of them, or about .08210391%. So I then took the average of the last 4 years increases (which were 261,23,61 ) which gave me about 115 additional appointments per year, meaning that this year there should be a total number of appoints of around 1674 (1559+115). By then comparing the percentage of what the forum represents to the total number appointments, I found that this year's thread should be around 137.44 names (1674 * .08210391). We are currently at 117, meaning that there around around 20 names not on the forums or, by finding the number of offers per name to be around 12.17 by dividing the total offers by names on the forums (1559/128). Which means that 243.59 offers of appointments have yet to go out by finding what each name would represent per 12.17 offers of appointments ( 12.17* 20).

In English: Stay positive, no use in being negative.
