All of the waiting for this. To say the least I'm disappointed.
1520 sat
1/515
Varsity soccer/track
Officer student council
Shift leader at work
Volunteer service
MOC nomination
Etc.
Average cfa ( I guess this was my weak spot)
 
DS just got his TWE. His second one..... my problem this year is he is away at college getting ready for spring football practice. Kills me I can’t be there with him right now. Pretty sure he is finally done with USNA and will fully embrace Wabash as his home. Good luck to all in whatever your futures hold. This forum has been invaluable to me the last 2 years. “WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTS”

Please don't think of it "as hard work for nothing". This process helped make you into the person you are, rolling into the next phase of your life, college. You have met multiple deadlines, coordinated recommendations, references and timelines. You will be ahead of the game starting freshman year. Good luck your future is bright!

Don't think of it like that. Everything you did for USNA made you a better person and leader. You will be prepared for whatever comes next, ROTC, USNA, or even just normal college. That's what's so great about this process. When you're done, all the work you put into it prepares you for literally all possible options that can come your way.
 
Soon today won’t even matter. Today’s disappointment will be swallowed up by the excitement and wonderments of your tomorrows. Be sad for now, but very soon it wont even be a blip on your life radar.

Absolutely, each and every one of you are amazing, special people. And at some point, you will realize how much this past year has helped you grow, mature and become more confident people. Very proud each of you!!

Same here, TWE. Hard pill to swallow as a reapplicant especially since my only fault was my low test scores. Plan B locked and loaded. Thank you to everyone who helped me in this process, Round 3 here we go.

Sorry to hear that....like others on this forum, I too was hoping you would receive an appointment.

I appreciate it, only can move forward from here. For those who got a TWE, don't think your work was for nothing either, look how far we all made it. As down as you may feel, failure only leads to success. You weren't denied because you weren't good enough, there are factors that are just out of our control. I think that this year must have been the most competitive year ever based on what I've seen an heard, so making it this far is extremely exceptional of you. I'm giving it another go, and for those thinking of doing the same thing, I have one thing to say to you all... Bring it on!
 
Sorry to hear the bad news. I always root for every applicant to get in. It’s gonna take a few days to come out of the disappointment, its okay to have emotions all over the place about it. After you grieve the TWE for a bit, eventually a light will come on to embrace the PlanB and get excited about the future again. Enjoy those other options and embrace them 100%. This process grew you in ways you didn’t know yet. If you choose to tackle again, good luck. Have a heart to heart with yourself, BGO and admissions counselor after a bit on what to focus on for next year. If you continue to pursue options that lead to service, thank you. If you don’t, that is okay too, wish you best of luck also. For those choosing service, soon you will learn this phrase (You have learned ‘hurry up and wait’ during this process)... ‘all they can do is tell me no.’ Chase all your dreams, the worst anyone can do is tell you no. Sorry for the bad news, best of luck, enjoy your last few weeks of senior year.
