Hysterical! :shake: Laughing makes the waiting easier.

Thanks!

As we wait again this year stalking the mailman and this forum, I recall that last year someone posted some info on a documentary about life at the SA's. I thought it might be nice to watch it again but I'm not sure where to look. Anyone recall the specifics? Thanks!

Actually the UC's don't finish finals until mid June -- so DS would only have a couple of weeks with Dear Family:) But I'm sure if he gets an appointment he will make the most of those two weeks.:thumb:

Oh so sorry Shortmom:frown:

still waiting here too DS 3Q with nom in San Diego still stalking the mailman and checking caller ID constantly. Thank goodness Dodmerb cut us off cold turkey. Best of luck to all of us....:thumb:

kinda says it all. Someone must ahve clued in the folks at DoDMerb that the "DodNerds" were stalking their site for updates -- This new header on the login page says it all:rolleyes: "Application Status on this website is NOT always a reliable or accurate admissions status regarding your...

If St. Patrick brings good news I'll never miss Mass again! May the luck of the Irish be with all of our waiting Mids to be!:biggrin:

marvin, you crack me up. always a succinct reply:shake:

This waiting is agonizing! It helps to know we are not alone:redface:

Okay - so the deadline for applications for the class of 2014 was March 1st, and MOC's had to submit their slates by Jan 31st, so does anyone know what's going on behind the scenes now? Is the admissions board still reviewing files? Can't the stack of applicants be narrowed down to those with...

me too! yeah, we should have t-shirts made:shake:

Well, I'm not an expert - but my general understanding is that if you want to play a varsity sport in college you have to be NCAA eligible. I'm GUESSING it's a combination of minimum high school GPA and demonstrated ability in that particular sport. Then I think once you are on the list...

Just curious - do the Service Academies actively recruit for some sports - like from NCAA eligibility lists? Or do they just recruit from among those who demonstrate interest in a SA by applying?

Thanks for all the god advice. And yes, while very committed and still hopeful, son definitely has plans B and C -- and has been accepted to some of them already. We've only seen Big White Envelopes so far, which is nice, but he's still holding out for the one that has United States Navy in the...

Thanks! This forum is great for helping to manage the waiting anxiety:thumb:

My son is 3Q with a nom and requested a CVW but did not receive one:confused: He was told by one of the Academy coaches that his application looks "very strong" but unfortunately, this coach has no pull in terms of filling spots on the team (offshore sailing). Should we be reading the writing...

My son is triple qualified with a nomination from our MOC, but he has not yet received an appointment. He also requested a CVW but has not been invited, and now I believe all the dates are full. Should we be reading the writing on the wall??? I keep reading comments on this forum like " a 3.0...

Do local numbers affect the odds? My son is also 3Q with a Nom, but I already know of 3 OA's from our Congressional District in San Diego-- two from my son's high school and one from a nearby private school. Is this where the "national pool" comes into play? And does it negatively impact my...

Thank you. I'll have my son get in touch with the RD. Coincidentally -- we just heard this morning that he recived a Nomination form our MOC. Yeah! So IF he is Triple Q'd with a Nom, is he still just in a big pool of other similarly qualified candidates?
