TWEs will be sent this week

I know what he put. One, it's a joke. Two, he was trying to let math help settle some anxiety. Happens annually on this board.
 
Enjoy paranoia math for days.
Ok, so I did the math comparing last years appointment numbers with the trend using the average growth rate of the offers of appointment compared to names on the forums. I found that compared to last years total number of offers: 1559 ( http://www.serviceacademyforums.com...rofiles-usna-offers-vs-usna-acceptance.48348/ ) , the forum represented 128 ( http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/class-of-2019-appointment-thread.39955/page-30 ) of them, or about .08210391%. So I then took the average of the last 4 years increases (which were 261,23,61 ) which gave me about 115 additional appointments per year, meaning that this year there should be a total number of appoints of around 1674 (1559+115). By then comparing the percentage of what the forum represents to the total number appointments, I found that this year's thread should be around 137.44 names (1674 * .08210391). We are currently at 117, meaning that there around around 20 names not on the forums or, by finding the number of offers per name to be around 12.17 by dividing the total offers by names on the forums (1559/128). Which means that 243.59 offers of appointments have yet to go out by finding what each name would represent per 12.17 offers of appointments ( 12.17* 20).

In English: Stay positive, no use in being negative.
I vote for you receiving an appointment, based on your math skills, and positivity!!!!!!;)
 
That is some cool use of statistics!

I've been thinking on ways to try and keep myself, as well as others , positive. It all clicked when a friend wanted me to prove that sin(90 degrees) =1 and another candidate from the same district and I were chatting about the stats on the appointment thread. So I thought, "hey, let's use this data to see if the list of appointments has hit the cap yet." I'm glad the number actually turned out to show a trend of going higher than lower. :D

Gotta love the geeks, especially the math ones. They definitely rule the world.
 
Have there been any TWE's go out for USAFA? I've seen on other SA but not sure any for us?
 
DS received the dreaded TWE through email this morning.
Oh my, I am so sorry.... I hope his backup plan is something he really can be excited about. So many have posted in retrospect that it turned out to be awesome for them... Hard to imagine right now, but I know it has to be true.
 
TWE like 30 mins ago

Is no TWE a good sign at this point? Or are more likely to come tomorrow/next week?
 
Nothing so far on my son. Will they continue to send them out as the day progresses or is this it for today?
