thanks.

Is my posting considered spam? Don't understand "DAD"'s post....

DS is candidate for 2016. Application is in, nominations have been received and mid year grades have been sent, but is there any way to update his resume of accomplishments from this past fall semester? He just received a number of awards from AFJROTC, has been appointed Squadron Commanderfor...

Can anyone give me input on how much impact the quantity of nominations have on the final admissions decision? Say DS has received 1 Congressional + 1 Senatorial + 1 AFROTC nomination but grades and test scores are only just above the norm....

Thanks! DS did not get this agenda portion of info.

Could I please get a little insight from someone. DS will be attending the Grass Roots Event in DC as a candidate next week. What exactly is the standard format? Should he be there from beginning to end, or is it Open House timing? Is dress casual, or, if he is AFJROTC, should he be wearing...

Hoping this is a simple question... we have two suite numbers for the admissions office. The recommendation letters, per on line form, have 2300 listed as the suite number. The pre-candidate handbook has 2400. DS' HS counselor says transcript forms and all pertinent school info were sent...

Thanks so much for the input! I'll let him know to stop worrying and get back to enjoying the experience of a lifetime in the South Pacific. I just scheduled him up for all the exams for DoDMERB. So, I guess now it's just a waiting game. Thanks again.

Thanks, Pima. Advice well taken! As far as the VP website... We just clicked on VP Biden Nominations link and pulled up a slew of info, including the electronic app, etc, which is when we became confused. DS will rest better with your input, and can get going on finishing his instruction...

We have pulled up the most recent website for VP Biden's Nomination Application. It appears that it is totally electronic, EXCEPT the part about where to send the letters of recommendation, which, it is stating to send directly to the SAs. We have been reading through old thread posts...

DS is reeling in final choices for Congressional Nomination Recommendation Letters. He is wavering on his third choice, which would be from his tennis coach of nine years, due to the fact that tennis coach's (Aka #1) organizational and writing skills are not as sharp as they could be. DS was...

Bring Resume To Summer Seminar? I read that a candidate interview will be conducted at Summer Seminar. Should DS have a few resumes on hand to be giving to people out there?

Packing Checklist has no mention of shirts.... DS is off to Session A SS next week. We were going through the packing checklist yesterday... We also looked at all forum advice on extra socks, power bars, leave extra space, bring empty carry on bag, have a good attitude, ask lots of questions...

Will ACT+ Writing vs SAT scores be viewed equally?
