Very solid credentials for sure. You really should be proud of yourself. Anywhere you go, they will be lucky to have you.
My DS is also applying. Your path might have crossed his if your AIM was also an in-person one in mid-July. As my wife, I, and my son often chatted at home, the entire application process is, in many ways, unpredictable. Part of our human nature is, most people do not like uncertainty. Therefore, see this process as an opportunity to learn not speculating on what you can’t control, but focus your energy delivering the best on what you can control. Later in your life, you will be in many similar situations, full of unpredictables. This is a warm-up exercise.
My wife told me son: as long as your application materials present you to the admissions committee accurately and comprehensively, you have done your job, then go playing sports, reading good books, and hanging out with friends. Don’t worry about the outcome because that’s the out-of-control part. About AROTC, there is a mysterious section called CBEF. No one knows how that part is graded.
Enjoy this process as much as you can, Because of my son’s applications, we’ve done many mini travels, such like attending the CGA events, experiencing AROTC weekend training at Cornell. etc. Fun family time that you all want to enjoy before you leave home in a few months.
