Go read the Sticky Note pinned to the top of the Nominations forum.
USAFA can choose other fully qualified applicants off the slate and charge the appointment to other nom authorities they manage. You don’t know where your friend’s appointment will be charged. And, presumably you applied for the VP nom, which is managed by USAFA as well.

CFR Title 32
§ 901.19Qualified alternate selection.
Fully qualified candidates not offered appointments in their nominating category are placed in a nationwide pool of qualified alternates. To bring the Cadet Wing up to full strength, additional appointments are selected from this pool in order of merit. The first 150 additional appointments are of individuals having nominations from Members of Congress. Thereafter, three of every four additional appointments are of individuals having nominations from the Vice President, Members of Congress, Delegates to Congress (from the District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, and Guam), Governor of Puerto Rico, Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, or Administrator of Panama Canal Commission.
