Truth here...
I have seen a candidate receive the "you're amazing, awesome, just perfect....BUT..." letter.
And a couple weeks later they were offered an appointment.
Yes, they took it and graduated several years ago!

Last year I got denied. I worked with my ALO and she was able to "pull some strings" to get in contact with a lady she knew on the admissions board. With my application open, she essentially told my ALO that same message: "He seems to be a very competitive candidate, but sometimes we just have to let good people go. We strongly advise him to apply again next year!" Although I did not get a BFE after a TWE, I have heard that same message.
This year as a college re-applicant I am hoping that all of the talk is true that college re-apps are being evaluated now as the later slate in the game, and that I will hear back soon. Waiting this year I feel is more agonizing than last year. After looking at the USAFA self-reported data this year, I am not seeing many re-applicant acceptances ( I know it is only about 10% self-reported, but still). I'm just telling myself that that means I have a good chance of getting in because I haven't seen other Re-apps posting.
