My son received many phone calls and a visit from a regional officer from the admissions office not a counselor. He wanted to make sure to we could be there as well so he scheduled the meeting around our schedule. He's visit was to give more information to my son who expressed leaning heavily...

I agree with you 2009 on that phone call-it was great being able to talk to him without being so rushed like the first phone call. My son is enduring some foot injuries many of you described but other than that he seems to be doing great. He loved his first detail squad leader and was really...

I didn't realize everyone gets VP noms if they met the criteria, my bad! Well, I will still include this in his scrapbook album I'm making for him along with his AFA appointment.

It's interesting that this topic is being discussed. My S just received the VP nomination letter today and a notification card from AFA informing him of such. S didn't seek a nomination to AFA because he knew early on that USMA was his first choice and USAFA his 3rd choice. His ALO knew S...

Wait, why are you leaving this forum? I think it's always good to have different points of view on issues that are discussed here. For what it's worth, I've always enjoyed reading you and Zaphod on this forum. Where is Zaphod these days? Anyways, please reconsider!

Now, it's only my son's experience but according to him the materials they test on PSAT are basic algebra, geometry, grammar, etc. I could be wrong but I don't see how this should or could determine anything you quoted above. I would think that the course validation tests they have to take...

Are you expecting your son's experience at WP to be different than other cadets because he's a NMF? I'm not expecting that at all even though my son is a finalist. I would think that WP treats everyone the same whether they are NMF or not. NMF only means my kid tested better than most kids and...

I know there were many threads regarding course validation and apologize in advance if I'm repeating this question. I know you can validate Calc, English, Physics, history, and Chem but I can't find anywhere whether or not you can validate AP Gov't & Econ. Does anyone know or have tried to...

It's not the same but if you don't have HBO & can't wait for the DVD to come out in May, you can read the story here http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/12/sunday/main2677251.shtml

Unfortunately, no.

Awesome! I'm happy for you, Daniel.:smile:

:band: Congratulations! :jump1: Are you going to accept the appointment?:wink:

Daniel, my son recently applied for some scholarships as well. They also asked for an estimate of 4 year tuition & fees, room & board, other expenses. So he put down $5,000 estimate - $2,900 initial deposit and $2,100 for travel expenses (which was a conservative estimate in my opinion). He...

Congrats, Tinman for getting that nonimantion. Since you speak to your WP contact weekly, couldn't you ask him if you're academically q'd? My understanding from reading through this forums is that, if you're 3 Q'd with a principal nomination, you're in.

Under the "Candidate Kit" section of the page there is a line in gray that says "accept or decline appoinment". That's the only change we've seen.

I think if you can handle it you should take it. It might be best if you can take AB in Jr. year and than BC in your senior year, it should help you with the Calc validation test at WP since it'll be fresh in you mind.

Take a deep breathe, Weathermom. Your daughter is going to need you to help her get through this. I'm with JAM, I don't think your daughter should give up yet. You never know what can happen between now until I-day, R-day..... Besides I'm sure she'll come around and be happy that she has...

another13mom, I'm assuming your son accepted his appointment to WP so your son is one step ahead mine. Good luck getting through all the paper work. Weathermom, taking AP physics and AP Calculus (AB or BC?) together won't be so bad if these kids didn't have so many other activities on the...

I'm so sorry to hear that:frown:. I hope the CGA's waiver work out for her.

When my son was there last year, he was told about 50% of the kids from SS end up receiving appointments to USMA. He still keeps in touch with some of the kids who were in his group -I think there were 12 and 4 people including my son received appointments already. A couple of kids in his...
