This recent article highlights why it is NOT always the best and the brightest. I especially love the line about serving his country, but just in the US. I am also amazed that the taxpayers have to pay a very expensive 4 yr. education to get a hockey coach. This article certainly did not...

TWE arrived today. DS is taking it very well. It does get better after a few days. We talked about the reapplying/prep school scenario, and he would rather take the ROTC route. He will get where he wants to be...one road or another. Best wishes to all still waiting, we're pulling for you:smile:

We continue the wait. Another 200 TWE's sounds a little daunting, but it is good to hear about a few more BFE's. Wouldn't it be nice if they could say, "we sent out 100 more BFE's". That could make me a little more optimistic. DS spent a lot of time and energy getting SA apps and ACT tests...

UAV degree There is also a certain University with a brand new UAV degree program. They tell you it is there, but you cannot see it on a campus visit. Someone thinks it is important!:wink:

Still waiting Well, we are still waiting to hear also. DS and I haven't the heart to call AFA and find out. We'll just keep waiting. He got the TWE from USNA and has gotten reboarded twice by the AFROTC. He has a solid backup plan, but he would really like Plan A or scholarship Plan B to pan...

TWE in WI, and he received a VERY NICE scholarship offer in the mail today from another one of his Plan B schools. I wish I could say it takes the sting out of the TWE, but that is not the case. He had high hopes for the USNA. He'll need to get over the let down, but he always rises above...

No BFE in WI Nothing here in Wisconsin, yet. Our mail is extremely unreliable. Kinda makes me wish we had a PO Box. Stalking continues.....

DS has submitted updates to his counselor by fax. The first time he did this, we called a few weeks later and she had them in his file. He never got an acknowledgment that they were received, but they obviously made it to his file! He just submitted his updated swim season accomplishments a...

We are heading up to UND next week. We have an appt. with the AFROTC unit, among others. How does DD like UND? My DS will pursue Mech eng. with an aerospace focus. I think it should be a great school for that, but it is in the middle of nowhere with brutal winters! We are used to cold and...

DS is still waiting....for NROTC, AFROTC (told he was competitive but bumped to the next board). Also, USNA, AFA, USCG. He has a solid plan #6 (UND), but getting him to look at private scholarships is like pulling teeth. He really believes he belongs in the military..I do, too! The wait...

Our mail service has been hit or miss since last Friday. We've only gotten mail once since then and DS is still waiting to hear about EA2. An exercise in extreme patience for him (added to the stress of final exams!)

Anyone heard?

Phone Call?

Boozebin, I thought your answer was very helpful for those who may get asked a similar question. I also told DS in a discussion that I would consider the honor code. BTW, I ammostly a lurked.:thumb:

First, I wanted to share with other candidates one of the atypical interview questions he was asked. Secondly, I wanted to hear others thoughts about an answer. DH and I were both Army, so have had this question posed to us before. DS did not answer the way I would have, but he answered...

DS got asked this question by the senator's nominating committee. "What would you do if given an order to do something immoral? (dilemma: disobey orders or bury conscience?) How would you respond?

My DS got an email from a USCGA admissions rep who was in town for a college fair. He posted times he was available for interviews. DS emailed back for an interview time. The admissions rep was VERY helpful. I have to say he was very well organized for the visit, as well. He was not my DS...

I know the other SA's superscore, but I can't find anything posted about USMMA. I will be sending scores, but am trying to figure out which scores to send. Thanks for your help!

Application deadlines and.... I knew about the EA, but I am not sure I understand the EA II. If you apply for EA I, will you automatically be considered for EA II and regular admission? Does your application keep getting considered or do you only get considered in one grouping and then it is...
