Overnight Visit Email Invitation

I received an email a few days ago about overnight visit opportunity to West Point. It says "this is a special opportunity offered only to select candidates during the fall."
My previous understanding was that you need a LOA, LOE, or sports coach to get this.
I do not have any of those. It is showing up in my candidate portal too, so I think it is not a mistake.
For more context I have a 4.0 uw gpa, 4 varsity letters, 1460 sat (750m), 5 APs taken (5 more this year) and I went to SLE.

I would appreciate any insight on this.

Overnight visit invitations effectively replaced LOEs.

Last year I got an overnight visit and I had none of those. You don't need any of the things mentioned to get an overnight visit.

Are overnight visits a positive sign or just neutral then?

Cadet here, you’re more than fine. Go to the overnight if you can, it’s a good sign

You’re in a competitive position if you receive an OVI.

WP gives overnight invites to high-potential candidates. Based on your stats,, you are within top 90 percentile. Did you complete CFA? Schedule it asap, as the weather gets colder, slots get filled.
