If you received a TWE...

After talking to the counselor at the USAFA about the QNV letter, I asked about the bold faced part of the letter. Almost zero chance of getting an appointment at this point as they have already factored in a rejection rate (i.e. given out more appts then vacancies). We have moved on (not sure if my daughter would have accepted it anyway, more my idea than hers), but if your son/duaghter really wants to go, they just need a year of college under their belt and reappy. They will have a good shot at it even though next years numbers will be even lower than this year. Doesn't have to be thru the FF or prep school either.

DS rec'd the TWE to USMA today....after getting a NWL Qualified letter last week. Very Sad.... still waiting on SOMETHING from AFA....Have a feeling its coming soon... I just hope it doesn't come a day after getting the TWE today! DS is confused... why even put him on the NWL last week at all? He is going to reapply next year if the TWE comes tomarrow from AFA. He has a 4 year AROTC and will do that as he works hard in school and tries again for AFA. When somethings been your dream since the 3rd grade you have to give it more then one try....

One more try!?!? More like try every year until you are too old. If it is your dream, never give up! Don't let one letter stray you from your goals!

TWE from USMA yesterday after a WL three weeks ago. I was triple qualified, a legacy, two nominations and sister of senior. I found out from one of the USMA coaches today that they cannot even get the recruits they need. Today I received a letter that confuses me from USAFA. It reads like WL but does not say WL anywhere. I have a great Plan B so I am OK. Just tired of the wait! I gues that is why patience is a virtue!

Yah, yesterday I received the TWE that states, not word for word but implies, that i'm on the wait list... This was my third time applying. I went to NWP and am doing AFROTC with a 3.0 college GPA. Kind of frustrated.
