I guess our state is different--both Senators and our Congressman only asked for three letters of recommendation. They did not have specific questions to answer, sealed envelope--etc. So, sorry, my advice was not very helpful!:rolleyes: I will say, the people who did provide references were...

Here's what we did Hi, My son's reference letters were addressed: "To Whom It May Concern", and each reference sent us ten signed copies, as well as an email copy. We asked for general reference recommendations and asked that they speak to our son's character, abilities, etc. We were able...

MWBluebeard-- You are such a nice person!! Good luck to you son.

Oh--I forgot to add, perhaps your History teacher could provide a written recommendation for your nomination packets.

It has to be an English Teacher and a Math Teacher--at least that was the requirement for the class of 2013 and the evaluators were asked to provide their job title. The teacher will be asked to rate you in several areas and provide a comment--again, all online. I don't think it matters if...

USNA Teacher Recommendations You will be asked to provide names and email addresses of your recommendations for the Academy. The recommendations are provided online and there are a lot of questions that will be asked on a standard form. So, when you are lining up your references, make sure...

Hi USAFA84, I don't know if different letters went out to different candidates. My son's letter did not say "waitlisted", but did state he was fully qualified and had met all of the Academy's entrance requirements. It also stated that although the selections were essentially complete, he...

Here was the advice given to my son from his Navy BGO. He was advised to NOT send in the congressional packets until at least completing his Junior year--preferably late summer before Senior year. The reason he gave was that there was a lot to accomplish before then, which could be added to...

My son's page changed last night and said the same, too, but today is back to the "no decision has been made" page. Oh well, hopeful for a moment anyway. Many congrats to your son, though!! Great job!

Congrats to you!! You might have to change your name!! :thumb:

Still waiting here as well and very hopeful that your BGO is correct and there are still a lot of appointments to go out. That is encouragement for us all. Keeping our fingers crossed for all of us still waiting . . . nice to know we are not alone. :smile:

Thank you! I think we all appreciate ANY information!! And, if nothing else, to share in your joy!! Congratulations to your son and good luck to everyone else.

I sent you a pm.:smile:
