TWEs will be sent this week

Is no TWE a good sign at this point? Or are more likely to come tomorrow/next week?
My guess, since there doesn't seem to be any new appointments today, is that TWE's will be on the agenda today. I'm just hoping they are all sent out and nothing else comes later, but I sort of doubt that. I would say if you don't get a TWE today, you made it through another round of cuts and that is a good thing. This is just my opinion, of course. I'm certainly not an insider. Stay close to your email inbox today and pray that you don't get anything from the AFA.
 
TWE email for my DS today, I'm sad for him, he was so determined and with 3 nominations we thought his chances were strong

I did read on other SA boards that they only send out in the morning, so if you didn't get one yet, then yes, you made it through another round.
This ride is something else.... When I was my DD age (17) all I wanted was to be married and have children, and I did... But this is her dream and I am backing her 100%
 
Just received her TWE, good luck to everyone else... On to plan B, C and D... I am thankful that she has college coaches waiting to recruit here.. SWIM

Last year, TWEs went out in the afternoon.
 
DS just received his expected TWE, which stated:

We regret to inform you that you have not been selected to receive an appointment.
 
May just be my thoughts but could the order of release be alphabetized by last name? (Nervous and hoping to not get a TWE today)
 
My DS is still in the running and this is excruciating. He has a full ride to a very good second option but USAFA has been his dream since 4th grade. We do have questions on his best plan if he does get a TWE. Essentially, ROTC, try again for an appointment next year, or both?
 
Body of TWE letter:

Dear xxx,

Thank you for applying to the Class of 2020. However, I am sorry to inform you we will not be able to admit you to the Air Force Academy or the Air Force Academy Preparatory School this year.

You can be assured your record received an in-depth review by a panel of experienced Air Force Academy faculty and staff. Unfortunately, every year we are unable to offer appointments to many excellent students who might make outstanding cadets and future Air Force officers. Please be advised that the Air Force Academy does not maintain a wait list.

If you wish to reapply next year, you can strengthen your application by enrolling in college or continuing your college course of study. If you have not already done so, we recommend taking Calculus I and II, college chemistry (with lab), college physics, two semesters of English, and a social science course. If you are currently enrolled in college or have taken these courses, more advanced courses in math, science, engineering, and the social sciences may also help increase your competitiveness. We recommend that you retake your standardized tests if you are below our published averages or are not satisfied with your current results. Also maintain and enhance your physical fitness and be sure to continue in activities that will develop your leadership skills. The application for those reapplying to the Air Force Academy opens on the 1st of July.

Please consider AFROTC (www.afrotc.com) as another road to an Air Force commission. This will provide you with an opportunity to earn your college degree while also training for a career in the United States Air Force. AFROTC is available at a wide variety of colleges and universities across the United States.

xxx, we appreciate your interest in attending the Air Force Academy and wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.
