    Advice needed for DS

    I don't think our area is super competitive (MN). I'm beginning to think fear is a factor - just not sure of what. Hopefully he'll open up about it when we talk this weekend.

    Advice needed for DS

    Thanks for all the good advice. So far he hasn't given a reason why - other than "I don't think I want to anymore". All the application work is done, he just needs to submit it. He still has interest in serving his country in the AF and has applied for an AFROTC scholarship. His ALO...

    Summer Seminar application question

    He completed his application already in Dec. (And answered truthfully.) He's just feeling antsy because he really wants to go and hasn't heard anything yet. His ALO told him his application was really strong, so he has his hopes up.

    Summer Seminar application question

    For those in the know - how important is this question on the summer seminar application: "Is your uncorrected vision 20/50 or better?" Is there a reason they ask? My son needs to wear glasses/contacts and we are wondering if that could keep him from being accepted to summer seminar.
