I’ve been told USMA could make offers of appointment right up to R-Day. How are they selected? From candidates that received TWEs or do they hold a few appointments back? I’ve moved forward on my plan B but was curious?

Nothing is impossible but I'd say realistically there is so little chance as to be none

My son did get an offer of a 4 year ROTC scholarship out of the blue in early last July after he received the TWE
 
BlueBulldog please tell me what happened with the ROTC scholarship offer. My son was 3 Q but did not get a spot in 2023 USMA class. So he accepted admission to a highly ranked private school. A few days ago, he received an email offering a 4 year AROTC scholarship even though he never applied for any ROTC scholarships. I have been searching to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

We had a similar experience a few years ago with my DD. The kids applying for the academy are the same type of applicants ROTC would want. If their is extra funding, cadet command has offered scholarships.

Call the Recruiting Officer at the ROTc unit and he should be able to confirm
 
So, in response.
Do not count on getting admitted after a TWE. Make other plans and live your life to follow through with them.
The bit about the NWL...it is not an actual waiting list, it is the pool of candidates who were found to be fully qualified. A TWE is a TWE.
(And yes, every year a handful of kids get in after the TWE but you must not hold your breath. Write to your regional coordinator and remind him or her of your strong desire to become a West Point cadet and future Army officer--and that you are available from now until R-Day if USMA needs you.)

About the ROTC scholarship, yes, it happens. The Army needs highly qualified and interested young men and women to enter officer training programs. It makes sense that young men and women who are successfully screened for USMA and for whom there is not space in the incoming class, would have their information shared between the two mechanisms. After all, many of the kids who get into USMA have accepted or been selected for ROTC scholarships--and the Army needs to fill those spots with other kids.

Happened to us. Fact.
