I don't think that West Point gives the number for those who end up being not nominated with 3Q letter. All I can say is that there are many people are 3Q'd with no nominatioms. The number of people with nominations is around 6,000 and those who receive 3Q letter is around 2,500 so it's really hard to know how many get the 3Q letter but not a nomination since 2,500 is the number for ONLY 3Q'd candidates.
Most who are 3Q get a nomination, if USMA is their first choice. The competition for 3Q is much stiffer than for a nomination in most instances. In competitive districts, nominations for 2nd or 3rd choices are usually limited if there are more applicants for those academies than nominations available.I don't think that West Point gives the number for those who end up being not nominated with 3Q letter.

Only admissions knows exactly how academic criteria are calculated, and they are not telling other than academics are weighted 60% of WCS.Does anyone happen to know what the benchmarks are for academic qualification?
No. Some appointments will be made quickly enough that a 3Q letter would be redundant. Also, an RC may choose not to send 3Q letters.So does that mean everyone who receives an appointment gets a 3Q letter in their portal?
I don't suppose you happen to know which of the RCs don't send them? That would really suck if they didn't; I hate being stuck in some weird limbo where I have no clue where I stand.No. Some appointments will be made quickly enough that a 3Q letter would be redundant.

I could be wrong, but I think there is a limit on how many appointments can be given off waiver so you may not be deemed triple qualified. Or it could just be that the letter hasn't been sent yet.
Good luck.
