DS is very happy at Catholic U, on 4-yr Army ROTC scholarship (just contracted yesterday!). Loves his Mechanical Engineering classes, loves ROTC. Enjoying the civ college + ROTC experience. Best to everyone, Roseville

Sydney, My heart goes out to you & your DS. What a tremendous disappointment - can't even imagine. All the best in healing the injury, Plan B, and in reapplication.

Currey, Just saw this today. I'm so, so sorry the outcome this year wasn't a BFE, especially after the long wait. Kind of rough on the nerves. But I've no doubt your DS will do well, and I wish him the very best this year, and especially with his reapplication.

The Heart and the Fist: great book. Thought provoking and inspiring. Good luck to everyone on the wait list!!!

Hi Sportsmom4, Yes! I saw that. Interesting. So, since my DS received a 4yr Army ROTC schol in the 2nd board, I wonder if that means they would cross him off the list. If so, I just wish they would send the confounded TWE!!! It's really great for those USMA candidates who are close but...

MemberLG, Yes, everything you are saying has been the understanding of most people acquainted with the process. Which is why it became such a topic, at which even moderators and BGO's here expressed confusion. In those threads all the scenarios were hashed out in detail, including the law in US...

time2, In all 4 cases that appeared on the forum recently, those principal noms were all waitlisted. I believe several people here, including a moderator, observed that a candidate can't be waitlisted if he/she is not 3Q'd. Also - more importantly - the specific feedback that came to those...
