First I would like to say we are in the same boat. The way we have handled it is : move forward with ROTC scholarship. They assume you have an application to a service academy. When you signed the ROTC scholarship paperwork it says an academy slot over rides this contract. The other responders...

I agree as well, time is passing slower than usual here in SC. We are not seeing much movement, not sure if it’s good news or not but so far no TWE. We decided to take a week long vacation over spring break to break up the wait, hopefully when we return we will have more information. It’s...

Since we haven’t gotten the TWE so we / you are still in the running for an appointment. Hang in there !

Where would you see the TWE in the portal? Is it obvious. We keep looking but there has been no change.

Congratulations!!!

We have the same message, but thought they were just for regular tours of academy not overnight. I thought maybe it just went out to everyone ?

Sorry for the confusion and thank you for participating in blog

We are also in SC , my son has 4 nominations ( 2 senatorial, congressional, presidential). The waiting is tedious, have tried to understand the process as best as possible but we have come terms with an April time frame for information as to whether he is accepted. As I have said in another...

Do you mind me asking which state you are from?

Thank you for the clarification.

Is every nomination a direct appointment? It seems as though all the posted appointments were direct appointments ?

I also read on the westpoint web site to call them if you need scholarship and they will help you

It’s funny, when we first started the process I was pretty confident about him getting an appointment but I guess the wait makes everyone second guess the chances of getting in, I see that some students have been notified that they will not get in this year. Since we haven’t received a “no” we...

So far we haven’t hear anything. My DD was qualified awhile ago. He has four nominations ( 2 senators, 1 congress, 1 presidential). Is the Q3 the same as the letter that states you are qualified? Is it common to receive 4 nominations and not make the cut ?

Sometimes unanswered prayers are the right path. This was just one road or path to your future, thier will be many more opportunities for you.

I believe that many moons ago ( olden days) the academies tried to weed out non performers but today they are confident in the applicants they choose and the mentality is let’s get the right cadets through this program. This was a personal quote from an airforce general/ friend
