Thanks for the link. I saw that too. Just curious for the upcoming selection year, if the Service Academies have addressed how they are going to handle the SAT scores part of qualifying students for acceptance, since that is part of the qualifications.

Everybody was so helpful and insightful, I wanted to follow up with a question that I was thinking while I was looking for SAT help. The SAT's change next year, drastically and will be in a test/validation phase for the first 3 tests, to my understanding, based on some research I did. How is...

Thank you for the information. I never even thought about calling, until I saw all the posts that suggested to do so. My son made it clear, that everything in this process had to be done by him, and it was. He would always talk to us afterwards about what had happened and how he felt he did...

Thank you again for all of your feedback. It really helps to be able to talk to people who have either the experience with the process, the experience with not making it, and the experience of trying again. It has all been very positive. I am not one to keep things bottled up and suffer in...

Thank you for your wise and experienced response. Like I said, it is really nice hearing from people who truly are in the know, either from their own experiences, or just knowing. I will certainly try to find a way to get him to revisit the SAT scores differently.

Thanks and we will.

Thank you for the advice and insight. Good luck in your career.

I want to thank you for all of your comments tonight. We got the news on Friday afternoon and have been going through next steps. It helps me stay focused, tomorrow, when I go back to work and not ponder about what I should do or could do. Your feedback was appreciated.

Y You got it. :)

In the end, I think that is the only reality and answer. For an 18 year old, kid, that works. For a 50 year old professional, with a couple of degrees, who spent 10 years in the military and still has a lot of ties to it, and has accountability on her shoulders everyday, I feel that somewhere...

Thank you again. He is a great kid and what's funny is, he did what he did, all on his own. I know he will do well in life. Just feeling, well, frustrated with the process.....the parent's perspective, who now has to get into financial aide and logistics.

YES to all of those questions. He was the captain of his varsity swim team, on top of swimming varsity for 3 seasons, along with doing other sports. His Letters of Recommendation were glowing, from his classroom teachers, to prestigious members of the community. He did speech and debate, went...

Thank you so much for your straight response. That is the path we are taking. He is in fact scheduled to retake the SAT. He is also enrolled in a college that supports the type of academics the NA looks for. The frustration is that so many of the "right" people said it was practically...

1600 Scale. They only look at Math and Reading.

His SAT's were 1130. They said in his letter he needed 1300. We have signed up to do the SAT's again, but have already missed so many deadlines.

My son got the principle nomination this past December. We were all very surprised and extremely excited once we understood what it meant. He got a rejection letter, on Friday, stating his SAT scores were the reason and that he would not be considered for even the prep academy. Is that legal...
