Local schools recognition programs can vary greatly. My DS was one of three students accepted and now attending CGA from his high school. When I spoke to his guidance counselor about the scholarship night presentation, he said he had no information, etc. so I forwarded him the contact...

My DS went up the week before into a snow storm but got to hang out (no classes)--- being from Florida I thought that cold weather might deter him, but he sent his acceptance papers in on Monday after he got back!

Oops!! It was a Priority USPS envelope --big cardboard thing. The shock of getting this so soon has gotten me frazzled!

DS --- Early Action Group 1: Appointment FedEx envelope was on the porch when he got home from school today. Very excited here in Florida!

DS's app is complete, has decent stats (3.8 unweighted /IB student/capt. of 2 teams/ top 5%) and had his MOC interview yesterday. Does anyone know if an alumni uncle would count as a "legacy". Would that have any weight?

After the first senator's interview my DS called the MOC's office to get the names and titles correct (it was a blur he said) and then sent the notes in care of the MOC's office to distribute. They wouldn't give the committee members addresses out so he put the individual notes with postage all...

Hmm. DS's all complete except his BGO interview that he did 3 weeks ago isn't showing up as received. He got a letter for a CVW, does that mean his has been looked at?

DS went to NASS too. He's DoDMERB qualified, app has been done since July, B and G interview was a couple of weeks ago. His interview was enthusiastic about him being motivated and having all his paperwork done and offered to help him prepare for his MOC interviews. The dates they gave in his...

My DS received a CVW invite in his letter today.

DS's USNA app was complete in July before he went off to sports camp in mid July. MOC apps were sent in then too. He just needs to schedule his B&G interview. He did his CFA at NASS and DoDMERB exams were the end of June and qualified.

After the eye and medical appiontments last Wednesday and Thursday, the status shows QUALIFIED today for my DS. Summertime it is probably less busy, so I'd say a week, I would think that as more people get further along in the process, it may get a bit slower.

I have a question for anyone who has completed and submitted their online VP nomination stuff already . . . My DS just completed all the areas of the form, cut and pasted his essay and loaded up the 5 .pdf recommendation letters. As soon as he clicked submit, poof, the form went blank. Does...

When does the new/next year's application start up? My son was an AIM applicant, not accepted, but offered a chance at a Fall weekend visit which he hopes to do. I'm thinking all that AIM paperwork served as a preliminary application. He has a good friend in this year's class and we have been...

So your DodMERB stuff was up and done in a week? My son did his eye appointment Wednesday and the physical yesterday. The people in the physical office they sent him to seemed a little confused by all the paperwork, not a good sign. But I saw his eye paperwork is already showing up as sent in...

I think in the instructions it said not to exercise too hard for a day or two. I told my son that but couldn't keep him from his usual long runs. How long after the exam did something show up online? My son's eye exam and physical were completed yesterday. The only problem (hopefully) I can...

ok, I just tried the PM thing for the second time and I think it worked. I'm a long time lurker, new "poster" figuring all the buttons out.

Thanks, I'll get this out to the guys tomorrow.

My son and his friends want to write encouraging notes to their former XC team captain who started at CGA this week. Of course, they don't know how to do this since he left before they got the address for him. :redface:Better late than never I say. Can they just send notes addressed to Swab...

Thanks for the info. WooHoo! They showed up posted tonight when he checked. Our school registrar won't let you have even the sealed transcripts to mail. That was one of my questions when planning ahead for the assembly of nomination packets. She insists on you prepaying for your mailed package...

No phone call here in FL., but an email from a coach DS met at NASS #3 had him fired up.
