    No Appointment or TWE....just Crickets

    TWE is just an acronym for "denial" and BFE means appointment. Your candidate will not receive anything in mail for a denial. He/she will receive an email from academy admissions to check his/her portal and on the portal you'll find electronic correspondence with a "yay" or "nay". Good luck.

    Visiting the SA with a rental car

    We visited USAFA in October with a rental car. They looked at my DL and the car's rental agreement (which was in my name). We didn't take the rental car insurance either. I think as long as you have a photo ID and proper documentation for the rental car and you should be fine.

    would Refund or not, my DS will be doing that by May 1 if he gets no good news. It is a safe plan to have Plan B school available should something happens. We will, of course, be doing the same.

    March 31st Last Day for USAFA appointments?

    "Majority" can be perceived in many ways beginning with only 51%. For those still waiting - stay focused and stay positive. It's not over till it's over.

    College Decision - AFROTC

    Thank you Pima. DS will be freshman in September and would apply for scholarship this fall for his last 3 years. We will definately be choosing an affordable school as we know scholarships are not a given. I will take your advice on the detachment cadet one-on-one with DS - great idea. Thanks...

    USAFA Class of 2020 Appointment Thread

    Yes. My DS is an Eagle. We have not seen any appointments on this forum from our district yet. I'm no expert - this is new to us, but I feel it's still early and the process is far from over. My feeling is that more have not heard than those who have. Hang in there. Try to keep busy and as...

    UVa vs. RPI NROTC

    Both schools are tied at #39 for 2017 Engineering schools according to US news: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/eng-rankings. Since money is not a factor, the school's location and demographics will probably be most important...

    Question for those in the know. . .

    Falcon, I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear and I probably should have started a separate thread. If this were a separate scenario from 845 above, does a candidate with highest WCS on a competitive MOCS slate get looked over because waiver has not yet been initiated? Or is the SA required to...

    Question for those in the know. . .

    Question re: above. If there are 10 candidates on an MOC's competitive slate and candidate #1 has the highest WCS, but has a medical DQ awaiting submission for waiver, is candidate #1 overlooked because of DQ for next candidate with next highest WCS?
