Very well said NYmom!!! I especially like that last paragraph.

My son just told us he did not get an EA (AS 200 at very large det) and while we are very disappointed, reading this thread takes the sting out a little more. When he just happens to be in the wrong year- AF downsizing and only taking 30% of AS200 cadets this year. He had already given up his...

My son was deciding between 2 schools (one better financially and direct into Engineering but not in a 'cool' place) and CU Boulder- where also, he was accepted into Exploratory Studies- Pre-Engineering. He is turning his Type 7 AFROTC into a Type 2/3yr. He wants to do Aerospace as well. He did...

I think it's generic, because my DS also received the TWE this morning. He took AP Calc as a junior and AP Physics this year- and his SAT/ACT scores were both high. Sigh. Would be nice to get a "just kidding" letter later!

My DS also received his TWE this morning. Disappointing, but he will move forward with Plan B- using his AFROTC scholarship at University of Colorado.

My son is also medically DQ - for braces! Which, after Tuesday he would no longer need a waiver as they will be OFF! For the couple days prior to his being DQ'd he was listed as PPQ on DODMERB (I have proof as I printed it out!).

I thought the same about Michigan- I only saw 1 and they never came back to say whether they declined/accepted, but they had an LOA....

My DS was PPQ for about 3 days prior to getting DQ (for braces). Now, I'm torn- he's getting them OFF at his next appt. (4/23)- so I don't know if I should have the orthodontist sign another form saying this bc obviously needing a waiver will be a moot point after they are off.

It’s back up now. DS not selected.

I still am getting The System is Locked message. I tried on my computer and my ipad.

I was wondering the same thing. Got the Site locked message and was hoping it was just maintenance!

My DS is also waiting to hear back about NROTC scholarship. He received his TWE this past Thursday with the mass. He has received a Type 7 AFROTC scholarship (that he will use as Type 2/3 year at an OOS school) and as of right now is still Candidate status (but medical DQ for braces- even...
