Second Time on the Roller Coaster

DS got the TWE last April and re-applied. Second choice college is working out well with USAF ROTC scholarships footing the bill, but the USNA is where he had dreamed of going, so he reapplied. On January 21, 2015 he received a letter from the USNA Dean of Admissions which stated in the second sentence, "You are GUARANTEED AN OFFER OF APPOINTMENT if your remaining admissions requirements are satisfactorily met." Assuming this letter means what I think it means, DS has a decision to make, but no BFE yet. MS-03
 
Congrats on the LOA for your DS! At this point what is still outstanding for him to get the BFE?
 
JShawshank: The letter was mailed prior to DS taking his CFA. That was received by USNA on January 29, 2015, so now we wait.
 
I have waited many sleepless nights my friends to post this news. I called my son this afternoon after receiving a message at home from the senator's office who nominated him. He had just received the same message on his phone. The 2 minutes I spent waiting for my DS to call back seemed like an eternity. Not sure my legs were going to hold me up as I saw his call come through on my cell. I was already crying when I answered. He said that would need to make flight reservations to be in Annapolis July 1st. As tears ran down my face with joy, my son told me of his conversation with the senator's office. The day has finally arrived my friends! DS has received an appointment to the class of 2019! BFE will be sent out next week. We should have by end of week. I plan to personally deliver it to him for opening. The 4 hour car ride will seem like an eternity, but I can't wait to hug him and tell him in person how proud I am of his accomplishment. I hope that all of my 2nd time friends will post good news. We all have some pretty amazing children. I'm praying for all of you! What a ride it has been. :D
OH MY GOD SPELLY!!!!!!! I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE FORUM IN A WHILE AND I CRIED WHEN I READ YOUR POST!!!!! I AM STILL CRYING FOR YOU AND YOUR SON!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! I AM SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! BIG HUGS AND VERY BEST OF LUCK. I ENJOYED SHARING YOUR RIDE LAST YEAR AND WISH YOUR SON ALL THE BEST.

Thank you so much. The BFE arrived yesterday. Heading to DS tomorrow so he can open his long awaited prize. Thank you for all you support on this wild ride. I am sending big hugs back and wishing you and your DS all the best. I'm hoping more good news will follow. Looking back on the last year and a half I have decided this thread would make a great reality show!

Is it as "Big" as you always imagined?
My DS is loving Catholic, working as an intern on Capitol Hill and thoroughly enjoying that. Still talks about the Naval Academy and OCS. We'll see what the future holds. Again, very happy for you.

Spelly, I laughed when I read your post! We could call it, XX Mids and Counting!!! Hoping we see a large number of our "second timers" receiving BFE's this time!!
 
DS is still waiting. He's coming home this weekend to see his Valentine. Would be so cool if a BFE comes for him today or tomorrow… Yes, I'm still stalking the mailman. Didn't think I would reach this point again, but I want to know one way or the other ... so we can plan our Summer… OK, if I'm perfectly honest with myself, I don't just want to know. I really hope he gets an appointment ... because he wants it so badly. There, I said it. COME ON USNA. Pretty please? There, I've resorted to begging on an anonymous forum. The depths I've reached …
 
OK all you second-time arounders- batten down the hatches! jsmom reporting in 1933 hrs EST... received call tonight from MOC!!
DS received appointment!!!!! Having been through this once already, we (DH and I) were thinking it was not be be for him this year.
Hope springs eternal :angel:
 
Congratulations to all who have received BFEs!
This past week my DS received an email from admissions requesting a clarification about one of his recommendations. Can this be taken as a good sign?
 
I'm wondering if those on the roller coaster for the second time who have received appointments (Congratulations!) were wait listed last year. Also, when was your application file 100% completed, if you're willing to share?
 
Kayaker,

I was not waitlisted last year (received TWE April 5th). They received my college grades January 2nd. Showed up on portal the 7th, thus making it complete. Received MOC call February 6th.
