Wait is over in IN
Thank you all for the kind words! In many ways, this may be a better fit for him! Rose-Hulman ....not a shabby Plan B. And, it's a lot closer to home, something Grandma will be happy about!http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/images/smilies/shake.gif

wait is over in IN
My DS received his QNV letter Friday. It also states that he is in line if someone declines. (Not counting on it...) He had three nominations: both Senators and the Congressman, excellent SATs/GPA and an outstanding resume. Hard to figure out...
He has chosen...

My DS, too, has 3 noms: both Senators and the Congressman. Still nothing: no mail, no vm from MOC, and no portal change. ???? Still holding out hope.

My DS has 3 nominations too: both Senators and the Congressman. We have heard nothing: no phone calls, no mail, no portal change. I'm not sure what to think??? He's reluctant to call his ALO....
I'm still holding out hope.
still stalking in IN...well, sort of
We are in FL for SB. I've had horrible withdrawls from the forum. Have Grandma on high alert to check vm on home phone and stalk mb daily. She has the day off today! Found two BFE's (not "the" BFE) in the mb yesterday...other colleges with their packages...

However, I am still stalking the mailbox, checking the vm, and...

We've been experiencing much of the same insanity as all of you! My freshman (HS) DS, re-programmed the caller ID feature on our home phones to display "US Air Force Academy" when he calls from his cell. Imagine the excitement to answer the phone thinking it's the USAFA...
It's not over...
Vamom and mattsmom....stay positive. I feel frustrated too; my DS has worked like crazy as well! I'm sure they all have! We have to stay focused and positive for their sakes!
DS's Plan B is an excellent, outstanding option and something to be very proud of... These kids...
truly inspiring!!!
to jwalsh1: You are truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
I've been following this thread for weeks now; it's comforting to know that I am not the ONLY one who "jumps when the phone rings", "stalks the mailman", and makes myself absolutely insane trying to figure out...
Plan B & C
DS has been accepted to Rose-Hulman (Plan B-formerly Rose-Polytechnic, and co-ed only since 1991) and Purdue University, School of Electrical/Computer Engineering (Plan C). Either will be an excellent choice if Plan A doesn't come through. Good luck to each of you! Still waiting...
