I'll address a couple of your questions from my perspective as the mom of a current plebe girl: 5. My daughter talked to her doctor and took the birth control pills during plebe summer at the advice of this forum. She took the pill constant during plebe summer so as not to have a cycle at all...

We arrived in Annapolis two days before I-Day and spent the day before I-Day getting familiar with Downtown Annapolis (DTA) and the Yard. This was important to us and to our daughter so she would know what was outside of the fences. We took a boat ride that took us around the academy to get a...

Still stalking the mailbox I am still stalking the mailbox everyday. Hoping and praying for good news. I'm always thankful when I don't find a TWE in the box.

Congratulations. I hope my daughter will be classmates with your daughter. I have a son who is considering trying the academy route next year. Lots of patience and waiting. Would you mind sharing what state you are from?

If an applicant doesn't receive an invitation to CVW does that mean he/she is not as well qualified as other candidates? Does attending NASS mean it is less likely that an applicant will receive an invitation to CVW? I am concerned my DD has not received an invitation to CVW.

Good luck on your interview tomorrow. Be confident and look the part.
