Great question, I am wondering the same thing

I just sent you a private message

I want to be crystal clear about this thread. I am only stating facts and will NOT speak poorly of the AFA, or anyone there. Yes, there decision has been very tough on my family but it was there decision. I also think he had a very fair AOC whom I met at Parents Weekend. His AOC even stated...

Please know that my son's GPA was a 1.2 and his Military GPA was 2.9 He had NO conduct issues. There are very few second chances given, so you need to know this. He was placed in Chemistry 110 which combines both chem's into only one semester and he should have been placed in Chem 100 his...
