WI-Dad20/21: Did your DS's take there primary "good" trumpets to Indoc or older beat up ones? Isn't that a lot for them to carry at Indoc where I read it was important to pack light?

DS talked to the band director at Open House last week and asked the same question. He said that there were several different ensembles with varying amounts of practice required. So depending on your instrument, there should be some group you could participate in. I asked if DS should take his...

My DS is not "undecided." He accepted last week and I changed it on the list then (see the consolidated list). So he makes 35 accepted students.

We went to the Open House on Friday and the Admissions Director said that the Loggin In instructions will be emailled next week. The hardcopy documentation will be sent out the following week.

Strange...I did not post this cryptic message. I was at the Masters on Sunday.

Call the ERAU AFROTC office and ask about their incentives for ROTC scholarship recipients. DS got a TWE from USAFA this morning, but he has a Type 2 AFROTC scholarship. ERAU also gave him a merit scholarship which he can use along with the AFROTC scholarship. In addition ERAU gives $15,000...

TWE for DS this morning. Plan B is either the Merchant Marine Academy or AFROTC scholarship at Embry Riddle. Both are great options. Is anyone here going to USMMA?

My fully qualified DS is still waiting for news from USAFA. I haven't seen anyone post that they received a rejection email. Do any of you know of anyone who has gotten a "no" yet?

MJ2020 - DS wasn't recruited...he just expressed an interest in rowing because he loves it and is very good. As for a resume, I don't want to be too specific in the interest of privacy. But compared to the published USMMA mean scores, he received a higher than average ACT/SAT, average GPA...

It was not by invitation. You can call admissions and schedule it. I don't know about juniors, but you can call and ask.

Thanks kpmom2013. Your DS sounds like mine regarding wanting to be a pilot. Our next door neighbor has a DS currently at USMMA. He has really gotten my son interested in that route. And who knows he may like ships more.

My DS is considering all options available after HS graduation. He has an appointment to USMMA, an AFROTC scholarship (acceptance to Embry Riddle), and still waiting to hear about a USAFA appointment. He says his ultimate goal is to be a pilot in the AF and he wants to know what are his...

Since a kid in my congressional district received an appointment last week, I guess my DS is waiting for an appointment from the national pool. Does anyone know if those are given out later like April and May?
