    Taking a High School Proficiency Exam as a Homeschooler

    That's excellent. In our area, it would have been difficult for our kids to get into the upper level STEM classes through the CC's high school program. Even the waitlists were full. Sounds like you are on the right path!

    Taking a High School Proficiency Exam as a Homeschooler

    My opinion as a retired homeschool mom of three: My homeschooled kids took the CHSPE during their sophomore year in high school, not for college applications or for graduation equivalencies, but so that they could get higher priority registration for dual enrollment classes at the community...

    Northwestern Preparatory C/O 2020

    We will be rooting for all of the NWP 2020 prepsters! Our son went there as a free agent last fall, and we are so grateful for his experience there. The Durbecks are amazing and will guide you well!

    If you don’t hear back by 4/21, you didn’t receive a direct appointment correct?

    For all of you who received TWE's today, I am praying for you and your families. My chest is tight and my heart literally hurts reading these updates. A year ago my son was in the same boat. After working toward his dream for years, he was devastated to receive a non-select letter. Things seemed...

    Exams not received

    I wouldn't be concerned yet. This is a busy time. My son had his medical exam in July, and it took 3 weeks to show up on DODMETS.

    The Waiting Club

    Our son received a TWE this morning. So did the majority of his friends who were incredible candidates. It's hard to articulate the depth of our disappointment. He has worked extremely hard and has lived and breathed the USAFA dream for years. I am so proud of him. God's ways are higher than...

    The Waiting Club

    It sounds like a wonderful opportunity to see Japan, and I truly understand the dilemma! Only your DS can decide what's right for him, so this is just one family's opinion. If it were my son and he was fortunate to receive an appointment, he would likely skip the trip altogether. Our USAFA...
