Hi all - new to this board but I 've been looking through and gotten lots of good gouge from everyone. I'm trying to see how we should proceed.
My DD is a 2019 candidate and her requirements are complete (per CIS). She's also qualifed per DODMERB and has a PRES nom based off of my service. However her SAT/ACT's are weak but she's in the 50th percentile (she's retaking in Sept. and Oct) and she's got lots of ECA's, ranked 1 in her class and has several varsity letters (including leadership positions).
Her NROTC application is also complete and waiting to get boarded. She is also contemplating the USMMA which gives her a shot as a navy reserve officer.
The BGO was extremely nice and accomodating. She also mentioned that even though we have PRES nom we should continue to purse MOC's - which we will of course. We live in a VERY competitive district/state so I'm not holding too much weight on the MOC's given her average SAT/ACT scores and she's got one shot at each before Nov.
My question about the PRES NOM. I've read that only 100 slots are given to the USNA. She's has one but could it be taken away and given to a more highly qualified candidate?
All in all, this experience as been rewarding and educational. My 13 year old DS has already expressed interest so now I have a good head start and can prepare!
Thanks.
