I can say that my DS got a Congressional nomination (Not the principal - we know the principal got his LOA in early January). Our Senator letter also said they differed to the congressional nomination - so they must communicate to not put same person on two lists in FL (wish they'd communicate...

Lofgren6 Congratulations! I think in your excitement you quoted the string from the first page (with only 6 names on it). The end of the 14th page has the latest string with about 65 names on it. Our DS just got letter as well - I'm going to let him add his name to the list - just wanted to...

CASBUS08 In our case, DODMERB requested remedial information and some tests after his initial medical exam. (We have a family history of slight blood in urine which is benign, but is a red flag for DODMERB). We supplied the extra medical history and tests requested in late December and got...

Thanks to everyone - these are great insights and very helpful to my son and to us. He just got a letter from Navy Admissions approving his medical waiver (minor family history item) with no restrictions. So he is fully 3Q'd now. Now just waiting on a possible appointment.

Thank you LongAgoPlebe. I agree about the name-brand quibble. I always thought of Academies as top-tier education in all academic areas. As far as validating classes - we'll see. Not sure if its best to make first year a review in some key subjects or begin the next-level classes right off...

I'd first like to thank everyone their input to these forums. I have read many of them over the last 6 months or so as my son had been going through the process of applying to USNA and to the NROTC at Georgia Tech. He has a congressional nomination and we believe he has a very good chance of...
