My application seems to have racked up a number of followers over the past 1.5 years, so I figured I would post my new statistics for those interested:

___________________________________________________________

I think my application is stronger than ever. My schedule next semester involves some really difficult courses too, so I believe that will impress the CCEB (Organic Chemistry, programming, etc.)

One more question: Should I get another interview? I had one last year and was given high marks (I believe).

I think you look very good! I am really pulling for you this year, your stats look great! As for the interview, I would go for it, it could only help and its another chance to really impress them in person.

I would push for one with an Admissions staff member this year since you're so close to CGA and we'll still have the one you did last year with the Admissions Partner. Contact LTJG Holmes (our new CT Admissions Officer) and I'm sure he'll accommodate you.
 
Way to go Andrew...keep plugging away and I think you'll make it!:biggrin:
 
Andrew,

Awesome news on the interview! I would be very surprised to not see you in a 2015 cap. You are an outstanding candidate. :thumb:
 
From a Phillies fan:thumb: to Yankee fan - congrats and hope to see you in New London on 27 Jun. DS was appointed last week out of Fla.

YankeesFan,
As the parent of a two time applicant, I understand the pressure, stress and anxiety you and your family have been living with. It's a long haul to apply once, let alone twice. Your fortitude is to be commended! I sincerely hope that the BFE is in your mailbox very, very soon. Fingers crossed for you buddy. :thumb:
 
That is an awesome PFE score Andrew!! I think you would do very well here and I wish you the best of luck!
 
Thank you! I'm glad I retook it; an improvement of 12 points is definitely better than none.

Question: Admissions' phone and computer systems are being updated today (I think). Will my AO still receive my e-mails? I've sent him quite a few with information for my application.

Thanks,

Andrew

Yes...the phone system and computer network were actually only down in Admissions because electrical power needed be secured for some of the hardware upgrades. All incoming e-mail and phone messages were still being delivered/saved, plus some Admissions staff were even working from home, throughout the upgrade period.
 
Determined!!

After reading your most recent posts and going through this with you last year...I am rooting for you!! Keep plugging along with this semester and concentrate on your grades to finish strong! May a Class of 2015 cover be in your future my friend!! :thumb:
