TWEs will be sent this week

Our DS got TWE's last year. Did not apply to NW Prep until May. Call them direct they will let you know. I had a lot of respect for them in that they only accept self-sponsors if they think you have a shot. DS did great at NW Prep. DS got appointment to USMA this year, waiting to hear from USAFA, TWE from USNA.
 
I will try to explain to the best of my ability (no expert for sure). If your DS/DD is not chosen for a direct admission to the Academy, there are two options the Academy can offer a candidate that they are interested in. One would be an offer to the Academy Prep school. It is located near the Academy in Colorado. Another option is a Falcon Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship is to a few Military schools that prepare your DS/DD to re-apply as a candidate for next year, 2021. Someone posted here, that they applied to one of these Military schools as a free agent. Meaning, instead of going to a 2nd or 3rd choice college; some apply to these Military institutions to improve something in their applications and re-apply.
 
That website says its for cadets who need a little help to get up to speed academically. However, my DD's friend had a 4.0+ gpa and was told she was offered a Falcon Scholarship because USAFA just didn't have enough slots for all the great applicants. I think if you're offered one of these, count yourself lucky! There are only about 100 of them.
 
This board is so quite, I guess with knowing about those who got the call last night we pretty much know we will hear something today... Good luck everyone... Ultimately these kids will be where they are suppose to be and they will do great things! :)

Update just finished. No changes here. At least being up so early I got Laundry done, dinner in crock pot and breakfast muffins made. Lol
 
I am normally up this early, we are already at swim practice! DD has Open Water Swim competition in Fl this weekend.
 
I have to admit with these appointments going out today, I fear TWE's tomorrow??? Sorry, I am normally the last one to be negative... I am so happy for those of you who have made it!
 
Wait so has anyone heard back from other friends and such about receiving an appointment?
 
Now here's a question: If you receive a TWE (Considering the amount of appointments that went out today, that seems likely soon), does that only put you out of the running with the main USAFA program and still leaves you the possibility of receiving a Prep School slot or Falcon Scholarship slot?

Yes, I believe that to be true. There are some USAFA prep school appointments already offered (more will be coming), but I've heard nothing about Falcon Scholarships as of yet.
 
I looked at the Prep Schools appointment thread and it showed only 6 names, even if that only represented a little under 10% the real number that leaves around 200 open slots based on then numbers from last years selections .

If you look at last year's appointment thread, it looked like most (?) prep school appointments were offered in May.
 
Ah, well that's a decent thing to hope for then, hopefully when those TWEs go out I'll keep that in mind.
 
Just out of curiosity what is everyone's status on the portal now (those without nominations).

Thanks
