Thank You Thanks for the info! I know it's a long shot but I've avoided the TWE this long, there's still hope that I could possibly be in one of those 100 or so still left to get appointments. I'm thankful that it's not over until I officially hear something!

From what I've read in several places, after the 150 top NWL candidates are selected, the remaining spots are up to the admissions board's discretion for however they want to fill the rest of the slots. I would assume, let's say they need 10 more Hispanic candidates to meet their composition...

I did CAP and got all the way up to my Eaker. I loved CAP, didn't enjoy scouting as much. I probably would not have been as successful with scouting as I was with CAP, but I got tremendous leadership experience. Yes there's a WCS, but from what I've heard, the RCs have some flexibility in...

Thanks for the info. I haven't contacted my RC about any of this and I am assuming the RCs are up to their eyeballs in paperwork between the Class of 2017 decisions and the SLE selections for the prospective Class of 2018 candidates.

Haha thanks for the comic relief. The cadet that I shadowed for a day tour said they probably use a ouija board to decide. I guess it's just the waiting game like you said.

Does anyone know how often the admissions board is meeting to make these decisions? I heard somewhere they were meeting every Tuesday, is this the same now that the decisions are being made or are they meeting more frequently? Just another nervous applicant wondering how often they'll notify...

Yes I initially applied to a bunch of schools, but removed/added schools to my list based on which ones I got rejected from. I also changed my intended major A LOT this year, like I went from management to accounting to electrical engineering to computer engineering to computer science to global...

Does anyone know the stats for AROTC Scholarships (e.g. percentage of valedictorians, SAT/ACT average, etc.)? I've seen the class stats for class of 2016 for West Point several times, but I have yet to find anything on AROTC Scholarships (maybe I haven't searched hard enough). Also, how do...

Missed you by a week I was in the same, 4th platoon, 8th squad, except in the first session. Those were good times, especially the one night when we played inter-platoon dodgeball! :biggrin:

3Q'ed as well Got medically qualified Jan 31st, got the 3Q'ed letter Feb. 6th. No LOE, no BFE or QNS yet, guess it's just the waiting game

I'm with you I'm in the same boat as you, haven't heard anything and anxiously awaiting the results.

It leaves an impression I've been in contact with my FFR since about 7th grade just from going to my senator's academy information days. I think I started regularly e-mailing around early junior year when I was getting ready to take PSATs and apply for SLE (formerly known as SLS). I mean...

Athletic Leadership Does anyone know if you get any athletic points whatsoever for doing a non-varsity sport? For instace, I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but it's not through my school and I did a few years of JV sports. Also, my athletic trainer who was a USMC officer wrote me a letter of...

Does anyone know if you can still get accepted with a 3Q letter and a nomination with no LoE. I mean yes, I know you "can" technically speaking, but is it really a common thing? Given I'm pretty sure I didn't win the vacancy because I'm from a very competitive district. Thanks in advance...

Right now I have a remedial from DoDMERB for having braces on. All I need to do is get the DoDMERB remedial form filled out by my orthodontist and I should be good to go because that was my only hiccup in getting medically qualified. My question is will the admissions board even review my...
