    CVW

    If you can afford and have the time, go. We found the CVW parent sessions to be the most informative of all our interactions with USNA. We were very well read and informed and still learned/saw tons in that visit.

    Plebe summer numbers?

    We asked our son today about the drop out rate. He said, "I don't think it is many. No one in my company has left." I was again reminded that his life really exists within his company and his knowledge of anyone else is limited. Case in point, he has a a friend from his high school who is also...

    ACT test scores

    My suggestion is to take it again before submitting. Get those scores up before your MOC applications/interviews, too. Depending where you live, your MOC may not even look at your app if scores don't meet their cut offs. I understand wanting to be early, but there's much to be said for a...

    Almost done?

    I think LOAs often go to very high SAT scores, as in over 700s, and in underrepresented areas of the country.

    Hope you come across my son on IDay. He will appreciate the encouragement, I am sure.

    speeding ticket

    I don't think so if no big charges were involved- reckless driving, DUI, etc. The PTR says no need to report tickets under $300.

    USNA STEM Camp

    DD was accepted a month ago for session 3. My son attended STEM only once but applied all three years. Don't know if kids can go more than once, or not.

    Newbie Parent Questions

    Here's a question.... For my son's 18th bday next weekend he wants to take a few of his friends to tour USNA. His dad and I are driving them. Since he has accepted his appointment, would it be helpful to him to contact admissions and ask for a "backstage pass" of sorts or is that a silly...

    I don't have a dog in this fight, other than I am female. We all likely agree that most men are physically stronger than most women. It's the human anatomy. Physical ability standards across all settings (not just the military) reflect this. I will be the first to say a comparably fit man can...

    Come on now..... Let's be fair. "More likely than not that favoritism or nepotism is at work?" I know a principal who had no political connections nor nepotism at play. He was just a seriously qualified candidate who knocked the interview out of the park. Don't put principals in a negative...

    Appointment accepted now what?

    A permit to report packet will be mailed next week. You can see the forms on the USNA website if you want a sneak preview.

    Decent chance of acceptance?

    I don't know tons about this process, but I wonder if DODMERB will be a hurdle. If my son was in your shoes, we would spend time now understanding the piece about head injuries and not meeting the criteria, and then understanding what we needed to do to prepare paperwork. To you it may no big...

    Required to report traffic ticket after Appointment?

    But after an appointment is offered, a police check is required. Didn't we sign a form stating we would update any changes to medical, academic, and other issues after that submission? Wouldn't that mean a driving violation?
