Right ones? At this point in the game I think as a parent it is important to keep in mind that if your child made it this far they were an exceptional candidate. My DS last year really took the wait list letter well. He saw it as he was not rejected by them, they just didn't have room for him. He saw it as a very positive thing when reapplying. He was very confident in his application as a college re applicant and his hard work and dedication paid off. He is now a member of the Class of 2019. It is important to remember that every kid that makes it this far has something to offer and I don't think that any one thing makes one better than the other. In our town, my son stood out as a very exceptional kid. However, I remember being at CVW and looking around at the 200 kids. They all seemed exceptional and I saw that every one of them seemed just like my kid. When they get to this point they all look the same on paper. How do they choose? Your guess is as good as mine. But I don't thing the ones they do choose are the "wrong" ones.
Stay positive. Many of the re applicants get in on the second try.
I'm sorry if no one understood what I was thinking. What I meant was the kid that will be at his/her best going this year as opposed to the benefits other parents have spoken about by having the perspective gained of the college year and reapplication. Many have said they feel this route was worth it. That's all I meant. They all deserve it! I definitely didn't mean someone was "wrong."Right ones?

Thank you for the clarification!
Question: What is IIRC?
Does anyone have any insight into how a third time applicant is viewed by the Admissions Board. DS received his second TWE in first week of April and is obviously disappointed. He attended a senior military institution and is a physics major with in excess of a 3.6 QPA with all the qualities desired- he just doesn't know what else he could have done. He left it all "on the field"-
The question: is a third time applicant viewed as an "also ran" despite his unwaivering determination and stellar qualifications- as evidenced by his tremendous performance at this very challenging institution? Bent but not broken in Pa

I think once the dust settles from this application period he should call and find out where he stands and what he else he could possibly do to make his application as attractive as possible.

GO NAVY!!I'm a third time applicant. Denied to 2017, wait listed to 2018, and appointed to 2019 in February. My first Blue and Gold Officer took four tries before he got in himself, and I consider myself very lucky to have met him. If someone wants it bad enough it'll happen.
