bfrat93, because of your meme, curious if you are at Penn State now, my son is an incoming freshman engineering student and will be NROTC?

Yeah, sorry AROTC-dad, room and board expenses are not qualified expenses for the American Opportunity Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit. I am a CPA who prepares personal taxes.

DS is doing it again too!

roguemom35/DS/Penn State/Pennsylvania Mitty, there was another Penn State-er, obesetiger, dropped off the list somehow?

I echo usna1985, as I am helping my DS decide his Plan B Penn State vs. RIT, pick the school that you best fit for the full four year run. Not to discourage him from reapplying, but to recognize that there is no guarantee the second time either.

Ditto here, DS went to Summer Session too, unsure if he would like it or not, came home fully committed.

e_yex - I will have to PM you if that is my DS's decision as well, it's that or RIT.

All the best to you kappapa, to make it this far, you have great potential, use it for good and use it wisely.

I am so sorry to hear that, WonderGirl1965. Is she going to reapply? Don't get rid of the USNA gear yet!

Oh no, bluediamond, so sorry to hear about TWE. That portal check is rough, my DS just stared at it for a while as we hugged him. And amen sister, whether one year of college with NROTC leads to USNA, or leads to three more year of college, I want my son listening to God, not me, I don't know...

So sorry to hear that, AKFutureFrogman21 and Navyboy82. Just keep at it. I saw today on a sign at a local tae kwon do school "You haven't failed until you quit".

Graceful, that is so sad, I am sorry to hear about the TWE. Yes, Plan B for next year, see you here again!

So sorry to hear that, SeanBrom, all the best to you, with that attitude you will be outstanding at whatever you do.

CaliNavyMom, let me know if your DS goes to Penn State, looks like that is my DS's 1st choice! They could be in NROTC together.

nolamomma - WELL SAID! Commitment can involve passing up what in hindsight might have been better.

So sorry to hear that CaliNavyMom.:( I recommend lots of wine.

I am so sorry to hear that. I am praying for all you kids who are still CPR.

Fnatic and Mitty, so sorry for your TWEs, my DS had similar stats, got the TWE wednesday night. I hope you have great Plan Bs! Mitty, VERY WELL SAID, this is a great country if USNA just can't take all these awesome candidates. There is much hope for this country, I just hope some of these...

fearthegoat17 So sorry to hear you got the TWE too. I wish you all the best.

Has your DD already heard from Princeton, etc27? Good for her! Does that mean my son is in the Princeton equivalent of CPR? Groan.
