DD only wanted a service academy. Applied to other colleges/universities because counselors encouraged her to. Picked USMMA and couldn't be happier! Is now an EMT (through USMMA) and is set to go on her sea year next month!

Mass Maritime...another great option! Best of luck!

DD had a pair of Nike brand that were mostly white and faded to grey in the back. Most important, take note on what type and color your plebes sneakers are. Sometimes it is the only way to identify them in pictures!

Last week was spring break for the cadets. This may or may not be have been a factor. Admissions people might not have met. Hang in there, this school has been such a great fit for my DD and nobody would have guessed that when we started this journey!

Thanks Lockwoodarriving! I hope your DS hears some good news soon. To even attempt this crazy ride and get this far says so much about these great kids. Good Luck!

The phone call was for an appointment. I certainly feel your pain concerning the wait. Our family, and probably yours also, started this journey a year ago.

Congrats on all the nominations! My DD received a phone call from USMMA! Totally made her day.

Thanks! District 10 Comstock. I feel the interview did not go well so I was hoping for a senator nom. If WP wants me, and that might be a big if, will they find a nomination for me?

Heard from Senator Warner and it wasn't good news. 2 down 1 to go, my chances are not looking good.

Thanks "Letsdothis", I'm in for the win! I hope other Virginians received better news. Good Luck to all!

Received a letter from Senator Kaine and it wasn't good news... I am worried and sad. I really can't picture myself any other place than a service academy.

Thank you so much for your explanation. I am looking forward to attending!

Local MOC is having a "Cadet Night Meet and Greet" with cadets from WP and Navy. I have already had a nomination interview with her. Is this a good sign or every one that interviews gets invited?

Thanks!
