    Scheduled for Review -- RD

    DS is in the same boat, he was notified Feb 12 it was going to be sent to be reviewed in 2 weeks. His application was completed and finalized towards the end of the admissions period.

    No nomination, but no TWE

    That’s similar to my ds. He did not receive a nomination to USNA. I actually started a thread on here asking if it was end of the road for him, and the answer was pretty much yes. Yesterday he got a call asking for his senior year first semester grades. Good luck!

    USCGA Sports question

    Also if a cadets grades start slipping beyond a certain threshold, the cadet will be required to miss practice and attend study halls. When the grades improve, they go back to the sport.

    End of the road for USNA?

    My son spent the night at USNA for the program they officer as well as the USAFA SS. Based on what he remembered being told, 1/3 of USNA grads become pilots, and at USAFA it was 1/2. We don't have any personal knowledge on it though.

    End of the road for USNA?

    Thank you, Yes he will definitely attend USAFA if appointed. He really liked the USNA campus and culture, but since he wants to be a pilot, his chances are better to fly at USAFA. So he listed his choices as USAFA #1, USNA #2. He got a second nom to USAFA from a senator but they told him they...

    End of the road for USNA?

    Ok, thank you. He did apply for the VP, but being a realist I don't think he would get it. You confirmed what I was thinking, thank you.

    End of the road for USNA?

    If my son applied for USNA and USAFA, and only received a nomination to USAFA, its the end of the road for any hopes of attending USNA for this year, correct?

    Failed body fat test

    Thanks for the info, that will be encouraging for him to know. Funny thing is, he had been trying to gain weight for football. Guess it worked. He still looks skinny to me. My apologies for semi hijacking this thread.

    Failed body fat test

    You were correct, his height was at 73, weight 194. His BF% is 20.6 The max weight on that chart is 189, the weight is definitely attainable but not sure if he will get a second chance to weigh in again. He will try and talk to his ALO, Thanks for this info.

    Failed body fat test

    My son received a letter saying he was outside the body fat % but still a candidate. I'm not sure it is right because he is 6'2" weighing 190lbs. If anything he has a swimmer type body and is tall and lanky. Im hoping there was a mistake somewhere.

    My son had a CGA coach meet with him Tuesday but he didn't get any indication either way if he was in or not. The coach was apparently meeting with several kids here in Central Texas.
