My son was pretty upbeat today, all things considered. “Off Topic” I’m going to make myself a shamrock shake tonight. Ice, vanilla protein powder, maybe some yogurt and creme de mynthe. Happy St Patrick’s Day! :topic::thumb:

I appreciate everyone’s kind words. I was bummed to not have been able to talk to DS yesterday, I worked a 16 hour shift. He applied to a bunch of schools, many have small incoming classes. So many strong candidates and so few slots. He is a very resilient young man, and this experience has been...

Portal indicated as such. Rough day. He also received denials from JHU and Swarthmore.

DS was Turned down by USNA.

Here comes a moment of overthinking this! Since most of the early selections probably won their slate, they most likely are very strong candidates. Then they take 150 off the top of the national pool. That is the top 150 of what is left. Safe to say you would not necessarily have to be in the...

There can be several reasons for the apparent lack of activity. We can speculate all we want, but unless you get the TWE, you are still a candidate!

Knowing, either way, will be a blessing. Another joyous part about an appointment, other than the long obvious list, is that I’m going to enroll my rising junior in a summer sports camp right around the same time as I day.

As far as the waiting goes, I’m getting more excited for my DS as every day that goes by that he is still in the mix. I was recently thinking back to Memorial Day of his sophomore year, he was fortunate to be involved in our hometown parade, via the local VFW post. He rode in a fancy...
