Thanks, was curious-ECP is an interesting option that I am still trying to figure out-boards have helped me understand a bit more. Waiting here to on third board and on a SA with nomination. Plan C is solidly in place and plan C has AROTC on campus, DS will likely pursue it scholarship or not...

Forgive my ignorance, how did the ECP offer come in? Was it in the AROTC scholarship portal? You think I would have this all down by now, but just when I think I figure it out the ECP question came to mind. Thank you.

Thanks! Will have DS talk to PMS. Super frustrating really, simply because he could take community college class over the summer for much less than the 1600 and transfer that towards degree. Think might have him do that anyhow just in case he ends up needing more than 18 credits...

Has anyone run into this scenario with AROTC scholarship? DS is a 4 year scholarship winner. DS is taking 19 credits this semester. The university is charging him 1600 dollars for the 19th credit, over the 18 credit. Is 18 credits the max that AROTC pays for? He met with the Dean today to...

DS just changed schools of intent after being boarded. He emailed Cadet Command and they helped him complete this task. Best wishes.

Congrats on the LOA! He should be hearing good news shortly! It's all good here no matter what happens-learned through my first son that they end up exactly where they should be, first college acceptance yesterday for DS-so it's fun. I'm a great an if EA because it allows folks to move forward...

Thanks, DS friend had LOA very early-DS doesn't think she's heard yet. DS is in the pool somewhere likely in later rounds-Recommendations held it up a bit. Best to everyone!

Just curious, how did you find out about 20 appointments already?

Congratulations!!!

Thank you Chuck20-very helpful! He's working on plans C and D this weekend. Best to everyone!

If anyone has an understanding of "rounds", I too would be interested in learning more about this. Thank you! One more question, if you are not accepted during EA and your in an early "round" and it's just not the year for an individual for whatever reason, will the Academy let students know...

I check in here every so often as my second son is complete pending review and each time this thread is right at the top. Quite frankly, this thread is not helpful and needs to disappear. As much as I appreciate these forums-this is the exact type of thread that will keep others away and parents...

Thank you very much. DS is attending Cadet for a Day in a couple of weeks and we aren't able to attend-your recap is very helpful! " I am not bashful in stating that the other SA’s need to see how it is being ‘done’ at USCGA"-I agree-the admissions office at USCGA has been exceptional! I also...

I am also familiar with 504 plans. If the medical issue has resolved, I wouldn't chance the 504 at this point if the plan is to pursue an academy admission. You can always request an ETM (emergency team meeting) should the medical needs arise again for the 504-hopefully an ETM will never be needed.

The blood type question got me a bit scared and it was one question that I found myself telling people about.

You got it right! I am a horrible forum writer so I might not be clear! I'll have to do more lurking than writing . These forums have been of such value to myself and my boys who are also on here. The thread caught my eye because of all the posts. I felt, the initial poster gave some good advice!

DS response: maybe I can do better on the video than at NASS-lol!

After seeing several young adults go through this process most recently with a few personal friends(including my oldest), you don't want to burst bubbles-but you need to be realistic and if the dream is to serve efforts need to be put into plans b, c and d and that's all I have to say about...

DS got the same email. He did not max out scores while at NASS. It doesn't make any sense at all because they don't trust USNA to use the standards?

I could not agree more with this statement as I've now seen this play out with others that we know, one year-two years of college then academy admission. DS has been pushing this academy admission so hard-and all summer I've been pushing plans B, C, D..... Good advice to all 2021! Thanks for the...
