Thanks for the I appreciate the reply. All your points are valid and make sense to me.

I don't know if anyone here can speak to this, but one concern I have about some of these schools is the acceptance rate. I'll single out The Citadel only because it is the one I most recently looked it. Their most recent acceptance rate is 98% from their common data set (2879 applied, 2824...

During our tour yesterday, a current mid said that she had to do the 10 meter jump.

My son got his rejection email while he was as CVW this weekend. I didn't let him know until after I picked him up. He was disappointed, but he talked to the Mids he was with while he was there and they are told him it was no big deal, so he was reassured by that. He had a great time during his...

Thanks! That makes things much easier.

The question I would ask is why do you think you need to be on anti-depressants? If you look into the data on them, they are not that effective and come with their own side effects. Other treatments such as therapy, especially CBT therapy, and exercise have be shown to be more effective. I would...

Can any of the recent attendees for a CVW confirm that there is a meal provided to the candidates on Thursday evening? The website states that a boxed meal will be provided, but one of the itineraries I received earlier said to make sure that they ate dinner before arriving since there would be...

We are currently navigating this process. Both of our senators in PA and our congressmen allow the letters to be directly uploaded by the candidate. If the writer of the letter would like to keep it confidential, then there is an option to email to a specific address.

What was your SAT score if you don't mind sharing?

I saw you posted about reporting a GIEP during your child's CGA application process and that flagged a DQ. I am wondering how that situation played out? Did you get confirmation from somebody that the GIEP did not need to be reported? I am in the same situation with my son. We're just trying to...

I have a follow up question. We checked in with our pediatricians office. We switched offices last year, and their records have no mention of ADHD with what was transferred into their EMR from the previous office. This goes back 7 years I think she said. So basically, our current physician has...

Thanks for that information. It is very helpful. Performance has been good. I'm going to get in touch with the school and see about getting the GEIP changed and then we'll be good for the 12 month window on that end. He's already good on the medication front.

Curious how this process went? My son has a GIEP. Within that document, there are some accommodations that have mostly been carried over since elementary school for ADHD. We've always just left it in place for "just in case" scenarios, but wondering now if it will be a problem.
