Has any one on this forum heard that you can appeal a TWE decision? Or know of a successful appeal? This was new to me, but thought it was food for thought on this forum for those experiencing the heartbreak of receiving a TWE. One of the NAPS parents just posted a comment on a Facebook thread that if you receive a TWE you can appeal a decision one time. The recommendation was to fight for a spot and show you earned it. Their experience was that the DD immediately sent an appeal letter asking USNA to reconsider the decision. DD listed every thing she had done and showed constant improvement from her application completion all the way up to her request for reconsideration. She stated her case in her letter and showed why she deserved to be in the academy. The TWE decision was reversed and DD was offered a spot. USNA recommended NAPS and DD accepted. I'm not trying to encourage everyone to try this process, but really wanted to see if anyone else had heard of a success story and educate. If this is true, there could be a few turn downs that really had some exceptional updates since they completed their application and it just might make a difference.
