@Patterndesigner I feel your frustration in having to wait so long. My DS did not hear until 4/23 via official TWE that he did not get an appointment. We had reached out prior to that because we had an overnight visit scheduled for 4/25. Our RC told us it was not likely that he would get an...

I find that almost humorous that information comes from the Academy itself, as we have heard nothing from the academy other than LOE, Qualfied letter and then nothing for almost 3 months. No communication from RC nothing to tell DS if a competitive candidate or not... so let me just say for the...

@sdsmom well said!! DS is also moving forward with AROTC. We could not be more proud of him and all of his accomplishements.

@DrMom I cannot tell you how helpful your encouragement and constant positive feedback has been in all of the posts and threads I have followed. As we near the end of the appointment process, your words of encouragement have been a light for me as a parent to follow. So to you I say Thank You...

I will have to say as we continue to wait, it doesn't get easier, but you start toook at things a little differently. He has not received the BFE and he has not received the TWE. My friends and family now think I talk in some weird code. My DS has a strong plan B with a 4 year AROTC that he...

DS 3Q January 19th and has 3 nominations with a 4.0 GPA and a 31 ACT. That is why he has a solid plan B.

Thanks! The learning curve of the application process and the waiting process have been hard. DS has a strong plan B with a 4 year ROTC scholarship and full tuition to instate University. Hoping to hear something either way soon.

My DS is currently 3q'd, with three nominations and a LOE. I have seen no acceptances or declines from the Midwest yet. Is this the normal pattern?
