Plankton has been wanting to get his hands on the Krabby Patty secret formula. There's enough Academy stats out there so we have an idea of where applicants stand. Complete the application and you have a chance! If you want to increase your odds (still no guaranteed appointment), do your best to...

DS applied in 2016 with Latin and received a TWE on April 17, 2017 w/o any mention of "due to Latin". Well, DD was also interested and took Latin and is applying for a 2019 appointment. Has anyone heard of someone actually being declined due to not having completed modern foreign language? TIA.

Ew3081, what's the status of your application? Share some good news! I'm back after my DS was declined in 2017. My DD started her application this month and is now in candidate status and her nomination was received. We wish all the applicants good luck!

Ok, thanks, we did the same thing but no scholarship, congrats again!

RickD, Huge Congrats! You DS may be first TWE to BFE this year in this forum. Just curious, did your DS contact USAFA Admissions upon receipt of TWE? Let's hope they send out more BFE after TWE. I think they had 6 or 7 last year.

I was just curious why or how this thread has 6 pages. Now I see. To me commercials are there to increase awareness, increase interest and/or increase participation. Increase diversity? I say yes based on this web page...

Good luck at UND. My DS also got the TWE last Monday from USAFA and he is going to the UCF engineering which is about 7 points lower national ranking compared to ERAU but more affordable for our situation. His goal is to join the AF via AF ROTC.

Awesome record! That's a whole lot of very hard work getting all those accomplishments at a young age, Bravo Zulu! You'll get in. It is the SA's loss if they don't offer you an appointment and join the SA that you have your heart set on.

DS received the TWE from USAFA last Monday. We are sad but life goes on especially with UCF Engineering and AFROTC. I hope my DS would reapply. I think right now he doesn't want to think about it which is ok. We are giving him time and space to get over this. Best wishes to those who have...

Yours and many others have such excellent credentials but despite that, the admissions board determined they do not fit the whole person criteria needed for the 2021 class. Painful to take but they have made their decision. We and many others also got the TWE. Not much else to do but move on...

TWE today for DS, we are all sad but only for a while. We learn from this, move on and Plan B is good to go. Even though many are called but few are chosen...at least we had the opportunity to compete. Thank you to all in this forum for the tips, replies, info, opinion and advice. Best of luck...

Follow the rules even when no one is looking but in this case when everyone is looking.

OP, you should have applied to the USNA only since that's what you were set on. I think you won't enjoy USMA; make it easy on yourself and wait for good news from USNA and go NROTC for Plan B then reapply for Plan C. Good luck!

Zeno, you should post limited info in the USAFA Class of 2021 Appointments thread.

Congrats on your appointment! There's more to your application package than just GPA and ACT. You met USAFA's criteria for whole person concept and would be a good fit for this year's class. How did you know you barely scrapped by 1 point on the CFA? What are you hoping to major in? Your...
