If it's any consolation to you guys about to have your wisdom teeth out, my son had his removed last month and he had no problems, no swelling and never needed any of his prescription pain meds. Just do everything the dentist tells you. I bought lots of pudding, jello, ice cream, and...

DS got his nomination today in the mail from Congressman Lance (7th District)! We are one happy household!!!

I apologize for what is probably a dumb question....... What does "open" mean?

Yes, congrats, wookieslayer! That's great news - and a load of stress lifted. I guess different districts have different processes, not to mention numbers of applicants to consider. We were very fortunate that both senators held interviews in the same central location in our state (NJ) on...

I came in late on this thread so sorry if I am not up to speed. DS has already had interviews with our two Senators and we have the appointment for the interview with Congressman over Thanksgiving weekend. I just assumed that everyone who applied, got interviewed. I'm wondering if that...

Wow, I think this thread has become a little frayed! First let me say that this whole thread started with a basic question which was more or less “what does the kid need to bring to wear after hours”. And the reason for that question was that there was no way of knowing whether my son and his...

KP13, That may very well be the case! If so, you guys made him feel very welcome and he had nothing but praise for all of you.

A post overnight visit update........ The visit was a HUGE success. DS had a great time and learned a lot. He had exacly everything he needed with him, thanks to the kind folks who provided feedback on this forum. For the benefit of any other parents facing this overnight visit, here...

Thanks so much for all the great feedback. DS is totally jazzed about this visit. He lives and breathes the regimental lifestyle and would never be happy in a "traditional" college. He is a musician so I'm expecting he'll end up with a host from Band Company. Downhiller2010 - will...

My son is scheduled for an overnight visit next week. Any advice on what to wear/what to bring? We're wondering if khaki slacks and a short sleeve dress shirt is appropriate to wear to visit classes. Then we engaged in the "tie vs. no tie" debate. And after classes in the evening, does he...

For the benefit of other families who are waiting....... let me just say that I was surprised and pleased at how quickly and efficiently these test results were communicated. Exams were at very end of July. The dodmets.com website let me know exactly how quickly the results were turned in by...

Thank you for that info! I went to the site, created and account and all that. It says for status "in process". I assume that sort of means that the results got to the point where someone is looking at them and making determinations. Does that sound like the case?

OK, my apologies if this is an old question...... (I'm sure it's been asked before) My son had his medical and opto exams and the dodmets.com site is showing they are complete. How long will it take for us to get some kind of pass/fail notice and how is that stuff communicated? Someone...

I had seen the general info about the music program on the website, but thank you so much for the name and phone number!! I'm having trouble tracking down an Academy Admissions Partner to help us through the admission process. Is that info only available by calling the admissions office? I...

OK, here's a question I haven't seen on these boards....... I have a son who is a rising senior and very interested in the CGA. He comes from a competetive marching band background and wants to continue with marching band/drum corps in college. We are working with a field rep from Kings...
