Sad to say, we just got home from vacation and our son's TWE was waiting as well. Thanks to all that have been so positive on this forum. We'll try again for next year. Best wishes to all that have posted.

Well, has anyone recieved positive news recently? Does anyone know if ANY appointments were made in the last batch? I'm on vacation currently, we get home tommorow. Uggh.

I have what is probably a silly question. At this late date, is it too late to update a file? My son was chosen to be one of the captains of the HS track team. Is that info that would be helpful? I know we only have one week left, but if it would help... If it isn't too late, how do you...

No mail here today:( I am so sad. :frown:

Further down the parkway in NJ-Lumberton

We're right there with you all. Fingers crossed, prayers said and lots of sleepless nights. Not too much longer....

Gibsons Lodging My son and I stayed at Gibson's Lodgings, which is a bed and breakfast. The Naval Academy backs right up to it, and we walked back and forth. I am sure if your parents called, they would let you do it. We stayed in the off season, so it was something like 100.00 per night...

Still waiting My son is triple q'd, has a nom, no LOA and we are still waiting too. Every day it's a race to the mailbox. I try not to even ask him if there was mail anymore, so as not to create more anxiety! Soon....

We got one here in NJ too, and were very nervous to open it, thinking it was a rejection letter:eek:

Hi, I am an anxious mom with a silly question. If you are triple q'd (received a letter) does that mean your file was brought up for the Thursday review? Then also, if you didn't get an appointment, you are in the pile that is waiting to be determined??? Also, if you are triple...

Hi, Brenda: No! I just can't stand waiting. Tomorrow, Michael is supposed to hear from the University of Miami, so that will be another college we know about. I love reading these boards, but everytime someone else gets an appt. I fear for Mike. How did your son (Daniel??) like his...

Sleeping Bag Hi, My son was there last weekend and did bring a sleeping bag. He was lucky though, in that his plebe was able to get him a mattress ("rack") to use! You'll also need a pillow if you use one and towels and a washcloth. Be sure to bring gloves and a hat, as it is cold. He also...

My son had his visit the week and it was awesome! Both he and I were so excited to be there. I know there are some midshipmen that post here, and I wanted to say thanks for the weekend. I was able to meet other parents that are going through what we are, which really helped. My son had so...

Hi My son and I are here too! I can't wait for the ride home to talk about his experience! As a mom, it has been wonderful. I met SO many terrific parents and midshipman and have learned a lot. I would love to see my son go here. Best wishes to you!
