WOW how sad. Should I tell my DS that he's not one of the best, just what mediocre at best?

Here their spring break would have been the 2nd week of April and return after Easter Sunday. Now its just part of the shutdown. So 3 weeks plus the spring break. A month off. GEE do I get a month break on my school taxes. :)

Here in Orange County NY the schools are closed until April 14th. As I understand so far they will be using Google Classroom.

He had his application completed the 3rd week of sept. He received an LOA Oct 3rd. He had his 3 MOC interviews within 5 days in Dec. He received his nom a week later and Offer of Acceptance a week after that. But whatever you do DON"T hold your breath! Unless of course you look really good blue...

We're in NY. My DS will miss his graduation ceremony. It's being held on June 27th. As President of the Honor Society he was supposed to lead the procession of graduates. Oh well better things are coming. He was looking forward to it BUT he is looking forward to the Academy so much more.

When my DS had his interview with the lady from Schumer's office ( 1 on 1 interview) she did ask him to contact her if he received a nom from another source. He did have 3 interviews. He had his LOA since the beginning of OCT. He received his nom from our congressman so he did contact her right...

When my DS wrote his statements he asked his English teacher to look them over. But they are personal statements that need to be written honestly from the heart. His teacher critiqued them and he made adjustments as needed. It worked for my DS he received his Offer of Appointment on 12/23/19...

My DS's panel was 7 or 9 also. Not one of them introduced themselves and just jumped into questions. His 1st 2 interviews were more inline with what you may have heard or seen concerning other interviews. Why this Academy? What makes you qualified? etc. 1 of his Senatorial interviews was one on...

My DS found out yesterday he received his nomination from our Congressman.

I thought that line of questioning was out of line also. But my DS did say he made an attempt to keep it light and he did make them laugh. he did say he felt they liked him. The really good news is his 1st interview was a success. He received a nomination from the Congressman. Interview on 12/7...
