    TWE Mass Wave

    I never thought this would be my reply, but my dd got her twe last Thursday and it turns out that she is grateful that she got it. Don't get me wrong. She was hysterical all day. She put her heart and soul into applying for the USNA for the last 2 years. She has been living, breathing...

    Any improvements?

    Thank you... You are right on all accounts which I cannot deny. It's just frustrating to see all the advertising for STEM and NASS and to be part of a team with a permanent career, so on and so on, and yet as we go through this process come to realize how few spots there really are for the...

    Any improvements?

    I for one would love to know what goes into the admissions thought process. My DD unfortunately got that TWE email this morning and we are completely dumbfounded. She exceeded all of the criteria they were looking for from the SAT scores, GPA, athletics, medically qualified, was invited to...

    How to handle full-ride scholarships as we wait....

    No they do not know that they are plan "B". We were hoping to know something by now by either USNA or USAF but no offers but also no TWE's, but now they are putting pressure on her for an answer so we weren't sure how we should handle the situation. Just move forward with plan "B" in hopes...

    Potential to be Recruited Athlete?

    I am sure I am going to receive some backlash with my response here, but I wholeheartedly disagree with "there is nothing wrong with doing the five and dive"! And I honestly wish the military could figure out who actually wanted to get into one of the academies and actually serve their country...

    How to handle full-ride scholarships as we wait....

    I do remember seeing things about this once before. I guess I need to go hunt and peck for them and find whatever I can about them. I agree, I plan on waiting until the last possible deadline before committing. Thanks for the assistance.

    How to handle full-ride scholarships as we wait....

    As my DD waits patiently (haha) to see if she has been accepted to an academy she continues to get calls from an amazing college who has offered her a full-ride scholarship. She has not yet accepted the scholarship or committed to them hoping to have been accepted to an academy by now. We...

    Any CPR receive TWE?

    My ex and I were stationed in Guam 1988 - 1992! Absolutely loved it there and have the best memories there! Best of luck!

    Anyone know what is allowed by academies for IUD's?

    That's just it, we are just not sure who to call or talk to about this to find out. She would want to do it sooner rather than later due to your point as you noted, but is a mute point as far as the military is concerned if she doesn't get in. So, I thought I would throw it out on this...

    Anyone know what is allowed by academies for IUD's?

    Okay, I know this is a crazy silly question. But, we are still "patiently" (not) waiting to hear if my DD is getting an appointment or not by one of the academies. And we are thinking it may be a good idea for her to get an IUD because it is known to eliminate or reduce (significantly)...

    USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

    Agreed...... I talked to my DD about this again last night as we try and remain patient and I told her that if she does not get into one of the academies now then to go to college and keep applying, because ultimately she does want to serve her country. And eventually be part of the best of...

    USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

    Okay, so I am confused by this, why then are we told that the majority of the appointments go out by mid-March? Based on what you are "spelling out here", the majority is already said and done!? This is very discouraging!!!!!!
