    Please Don't Be That Parent

    Agreed... I called admissions once on behalf of my son. Didn't seem to negatively affect his appt much- he's a happy member of 2020. He found admissions staff to be incredibly helpful each time he reached out, as did I in my phone call.

    Assistance and DQ

    That's a great letter from your doc. How old were you in April 2013? I think the kicker comes when meds are taken after age 14. BUT, your doc's letter is convincing and heartfelt. Good luck!!

    NASS or Boys State?

    My DS did SLE, NASS, and Boys State. USNA allowed him to switch his NASS week to accommodate his schedule. My two cents- apply to everything possible. Work out the details when acceptances roll in. CFA was at NASS. DS did well at NASS and did not consider retesting after that. USNA sent his...

    Chance me/ how to improve application

    Our school doesn't rank, but it does say "top 5 or 10 or 20%". Hopefully that's equivalent to class rank?

    8th grade girl hoping to go into the navy

    This kiddo should be referred to talk to her folks, teachers, counsellors, etc. There is a previous long thread in which she had multiple exchanges with posters and quite a bit of info came up/out. She needs face to face conversations with those who know and care about her.
