Yes my DS had already accepted that he most likely did not get an appointment. It was a relief to finally know.

Received mine this morning. Best of luck to those still waiting.
To those of you who received a TWE this morning, I can promise you that if USAFA is what you really want your journey is not over. I too received a TWE last year. I was devastated. However, I took an honest look at my application and saw what areas needed improvement. I decided to self prep at MMI this year and honestly it was probably one of the best decisions of my life, no kidding. I know that if I am blessed with an appointment this year I will be way more prepared compared to if I had went straight out of high school. Additionally, I met some great friends this year that I will have for a lifetime. This year was a tremendous opportunity for me. I'm not going to lie, the next few days might be tough. However, IT WILL BE OKAY!
Please feel free to PM me with any questions about MMI, self prepping, reapplying, or anything else!

Do you already have an appointment? What will you do next year if the twe comes?
DS rec'd TWE this morning as well. He was already leaning toward his Plan B anyway so this just solidified it for him. He was quiet and solemn for about 3 minutes and by the time he left for school he was actually in a better mood than he has been all week. I think he is relieved it is decided.

Sad day here in Texas too! Thank you to all of you, who have had either the joy of the appointment or the sadness of the TWE, for raising such wonderful young men and women! God Bless you all!
Brand new here and to this whole process, but the TWE came for son today....tough - he has a 4.1GPA and a 1430SAT, NHS Board, JROTC honors, 2 congressional noms....hard to take
> what is MMI?
> are there schools that look to TWEs as a source for scholarships? It would seem that the AFA did a deep scrub and schools would look for these cream of the crop kids....
> What is the process get into the Falcon or the Prep School?
> He is already accepted at Embry Riddle and Texas A&M with a $72K scholarship, but if he picks E/R, his scholarships converts to a 3 year(??) while TAMU is a four year deal. Does E/R have a way to soften the tuition blow the first year - it is substantial even after he got a $60k ($15K/year)
Opinions matter - thanks for yours!

No, I haven't heard back yet. However, if I receive a TWE I will enlist and try and get in through the LEAD Program!
