Congratulations! What a pleasant surprise!!! How were you notified- through email, phone call?

Sorry to sound uneducated on this topic, but could someone explain what AOG is and how it is offered?

Not necessarily- DS had a friend who got a TWE in April. In June, he got a call telling him he was accepted. USAFA does not have a waiting list, so it appears they still fill slots right up to the end! Move forward with plan B, and if you get a call in June, it will be a pleasant surprise!

That is great news- so encouraging!! Did he receive an email from USAFA indicating there was a change in status or did he just happen to check? Thank you for sharing!

I am also wondering the same about why some kids get in and some don't. I know kids who have prepared for years (held leadership roles, captain of athletic teams, excellent ACT scores and grades, took challenging classes, etc.), visited USNA, went to CVW and summer seminar and did not get in or...

We are in same boat- also hoping a short vacation would occupy our minds! Right before we left last week, another candidate in our district announced he was offered prep school. I kept hoping DS would receive a positive call from MOC or a portal change with good news. We will continue...

Thank you for the reply. We were just hoping this did not mean DS didn’t get appointment and this was being suggested as alternative.

Last week DS received an email stating “congratulations you have received a congressional recommendation for ROTC”. Just wondering if anyone else received this email as we were confused because he did not apply for this. In the meantime, still patiently waiting and hoping for an appointment!

DS checked portal yesterday and candidate visit information and scheduling a visit information was there. He had not seen this in portal prior to yesterday.

I know exactly how you feel- same thing happened at our house yesterday. DS received his TWE- he was very stoic and said he was disappointed but more than anything glad the wait was over- he never showed us how anxious he actually was. Then, he began talking about positive things and...

Thank you for the information- it is very helpful. DS has a solid Plan B, and still waiting to hear from other SA's.

Just heard from my DS- also got the dreaded TWE email and portal update. He was disappointed but wondered about wait list? Last year, a friend in another district received a TWE but then got a call in June- while another received a TWE one week but a BFE another week. We are not sure how the...

Thank you for the information. That makes perfect sense. Reading email from moc office just made it seem like a deferral status would be enough to cause a candidate to abandon the idea or hope of receiving an appointment. Needless to say, caused a little panic! DS did also email admissions...

My DS just received an email from one of his nomination sources asking if he was still interested in other service academies because USNA showed his status as "deferred". This is the first he has heard of this- especially since his portal states "complete pending review". Does anyone know what...

Does anyone know anything about the rolling admissions process? I am confused as we were told during a parent panel that it is best for candidates to get application packages in as soon as possible. DS submitted everything in August, and in September his admissions counselor contacted with a...

My DS has completed application and transcripts were sent 3 weeks ago, but when he checks online it says transcripts not received. His admissions counselor told him it takes up to 6 weeks for transcripts to be processed. Anyone else experiencing this?
