Congratulations!!

This may not be what you are looking for, but through experience, I have found it to be true.. For background, I am former military and in a very physically demanding position.. We had men come through in varied shapes and sizes.. I remember looking at some of them and thinking how out of...

After DS received his TWE yesterday, he went out and led his golf team to a victory over the 7 time defending league champ, that sealed their undefeated season. Although disappointed, he picked himself up. Later, after dinner, he asked me if he re-apply and was it possible to find out where he...

DS received TWE this afternoon.. Plan B and reapply!!! Thanks all!

My DS received his TWE this afternoon.. District 31 California.. He will move on, with plan B and reapply with a stronger resume as of July 1!!! Thanks to all of you on the forum for all the information and communal friendship that helped us understand the process!!! Good luck to all that are left!!

Was that today? How did you find out!

We probably think it's ACT/SAT.. His overall application: - GPA was 4.2 (4 AP classes each year. He took Calc BC of which he is the only student and is essentially teaching himself) - Captain of Water Polo team - 4 years varsity golf - Eagle Scout - CFA maxed in pushups, situps, pull-ups...

Fantastic!! Thank you so much!!!

I hope this question finds the right people to answer it? Although my DS is still a candidate, he is hoping for the best result, while expecting less in this process. We must continue to plan out his future as if he will not get an appointment. With that said, even with scholarship and grant...

Actually, no need to get this through the grapevine.. It's online and explains how ALO's volunteer their time, but they do get a form of compensation through accrual of days that may help them in retirement. But, many of these spend much more time of their own away from family and friends to do...

Yes, there might be a little bit of that.. But, along the process, there is tons of information about how the process will proceed.. My DS and I have known from the beginning how long and tedious this journey could be, because we read the information that was given to us, and listened to those...

I know this process is difficult. One takeaway I got from my DS's MOC board was that most of these young people have never experienced much failure in their youth. The reason they are even in a position to still be a candidate, is because they are some of the best in the country. While it may...

Congratulations!!

My DS was told pretty much the same thing.. ALO told him that he would almost always find out after the MOC was notified..

I understand there is lots of angst and anxiety.. But, this process is not intended to be simple. For a good reason, it is complicated. Those of us that have been lucky enough to live a little while in this country can attest, all that is good, is worth waiting for.. If this were easy...

Congratulations Rubio!! Great news! Hoping for CA-31 to come through for my DS!!!!

That is odd.. From everything I have gathered, while going through this with my DS, exacting numbers aren't typically what is qualifying, or disqualifying? The overall candidate is what the SA's aim for.. I could be wrong, and maybe there is a literal minimum that must be achieved? But, one...

Good luck to all.. Seems like the next week or two is just a bit stressful? My DS is waiting very patiently and understands he has done all he can and it's out of his hands.. We are proud of how he is handling this! This is my first post, but I have been following the forum for a bit. Thanks to...
