I think it was one of the biggest factors for my 2021 mid. He didn't have the classic, perfect candidate package, at all. Don't get me wrong...he is smart but never was a stellar test taker. At NASS, his detailer saw his GRIT. Named him candidate of the squad (or whatever it's called) and along with MOC principal nomination, is what I believe got him in. Is it a coincidence he ended up in his detailer's company?
> Great story, but unlikely. NASS detailers do prepare an evaluation , as much for training the detailer on how to do evaluations as to provide input into the Admissions process, but I wouldn't expect that the detailer input has that much weight. Like the BGO interview, its only part of the input. It was the MOC principal nomination that counted ....
With respect to getting put in detailer's company, I would call that pure coincidence. Highly unlikely that any Midshipman has input into company assignments, other than keeping siblings apart. (Yes, coincidences occur -- odds of getting into a NASS detailers company are 1:30; much better than the odds of my getting assigned to my Plebe Year room when I attended initial BGO training --yes, that happened!)
Call it luck, call it a "coincidence", call it a blessing. I truly don't care. His experience at NASS helped him in his MOC interview, as it showed a TRUE interest in the Academy. I'll take every coincidence that happened in his case. My youngster is THRIVING at USNA and I have never been more sure he is "in the right place", than I am now. Love these forums and the wisdom therein.
I just got accepted into Session I... from Colorado here... anyone else attending?
