    TWE

    In our experience of applying and then reapplying, every communication was through portal. No actual TWE or BFE in the mail.

    The Waiting Club

    Good for you Eagle Legion! My DS got in on his 2nd attempt but one of his buddies (also a self prep at MMI) didn’t get in until his 3rd attempt. Now they’re both at the academy! I promise the long run won’t feel as long as it seems for you right now. Very best to you!

    Prep schools

    Our son attended MMI 3 years ago as a self prep after receiving a TWE during his first attempt at USAFA admission . He was very strong academically, and though we weren’t ever told what was lacking the first time through, I feel it could have been PFT scores or sports leadership. SAT scores...

    Still waiting

    Just adding that when our DS first applied for the class of 2020, he didn’t get his TWE until mid-April. Second year he was applying as a Self-Prep from MMI and again.....Mid-April (15th!) but this time....appointment!! The first year was agonizing, but second year just as much bc we watched...

    TWE to appointment

    Good idea, a close friend of our DS got a concussion during BCT , and had to leave. He is coming back with the Class of 2022, but yes, it’s still a little ways to go until the official starting line ! Congratulations on the appointment!

    Who has attended MMI?

    Not sure what’s on the packing list but when our DS attended, his best purchase was a comfortable blanket. He had a top bunk and slept on top of the bedding due to maintaining the correct bedding measurements/requirements. The air conditioning is always going and even though it’s hot outside...

    June 28, 2018 In-Processing Day

    If you’re planning to attend the swearing in ceremony the following morning, take YOUR OWN pair of binoculars ! I was first row at the chapel wall, immediately in front of our DS squadron, and couldn’t find him. My kind neighbor allowed me a few looks through theirs, but it’s a sea of camo...

    Sad about your TWE? Read this.

    Our DS’s story first time through as well. He can reapply next year. Take a look at the thread of appointments here and you’ll notice many reapplicants now with appointments for the Class of 2022. I know it’s devastating, bc it has been years of making sacrifices, the right choices and...

    TWE

    At MMI, cadets participate in AFROTC weekly with other cadets at University of Alabama. MMI is a junior college, so cadets in SAP gain 36 college credits, there is also a Flight training program, cadets can earn their pilots license at a very inexpensive rate.

    USAFA 2022 Rejection

    If the TWE comes this year, it is not the end of a dream to attend USAFA. That was our thought first time through this process. In years of prep, researching, Academy visits, summer seminar, ALO, MOC, no one ever, ever mentioned or suggested reapplying or even that applicants even reapplied...

    How do people afford self-prep?

    I can only speak from our self prep experience at MMI. Our DS did not get accepted to USAFA his first try, but like most other applicants did have a stellar resume. This earned him scholarships at MMI which covered 75% of his total tuition. We then paid out of state room and board ......as...

    Appointment Wave

    You can do a search for previous years to see the trends. Last year March 14-15 was a big wave , but not as big as this year’s March 18. There were a few the remainder of March last year, then another wave week 1-2 in April. Our DS heard mid April both times he applied, TWE 2016, Appointment...

    TWC - Qualified - but no room

    Understand the disappointment and frankly the devastating news. Been there with our DS. Learned through the process that esp in competitive districts, those reapplying from last year could have gotten the nod this year bc of adding a year of college and other improvements to their resume...
