The final week. Decisions and deposits need to be made and doors need to be closed. DS is sitting on the WL for prior plans plans A and B. DEFH move around into Plans ABCD on a daily basis. He has been so busy with school, sports, volunteering and the daily emails and phone calls, working on...

Shoot the admissions office an email but give them a little time, there is a lot going on right now. DS had the same issue last year and we too worried. EVerything worked out just fine. He went to SS and had a great time. If your experience is anything like ours, this won't be your last snag to...

Thanks for asking this question. Following for answers and advice. (DS has not accepted or turned down any options but needs to in the next 7 days.)

DS had a broken foot in elementary school. He reported when it happened and the length of treatment and the outcome. Date of injury, 6-8 weeks, fully healed, no further treatment or issues. For him, no follow up information was needed, it probably depends of how severe, if surgery was needed...

I'm so sorry. Hopefully at least there's been some closure and he can pivot, proceed and achieve. As another mom, I have valued having you on the forum. You have asked questions and shared some of the same concerns I have had allowing me to benefit from some of the same advice. Thank you...

DS is the youngest of 3. His closest sibling is 13 years older. I think it was somewhat of a reminder that he's finding his own way and won't be downstairs doing homework much longer.

I just started reading this thread. Great question! I'm enjoying reading & learning about some of the folks that have offered up great advice here. Obviously I like Green T.

Congratulations MN!

Sad. I've been watching and rooting for the last few MNs to hear news. It sounds like you're making your next plan of action. Best wishes and smooth sailing moving forward!

Thank you so much. I will! We talked a bit at dinner last night. As I was busy getting opinions of strangers on the forum, he had been making several phone calls and is progressing on a plan. He had a few dead end calls and 2 he found extremely helpful. He's not giving up on a shot as a...

Obviously I graduated from a sub-par elementary. When I read back my posts and see all the grammatical and spelling errors I cringe. Thank you Devil Doc. You are one of a handful or so of contributors here I really read and value the responses of.

I'm a bit embarrassed that I listed out his academic accolades to this intellectual, distinguished group. Often I've noticed as a response on the forum. "Take college level classes and succeed at them." I really think he has proven that piece already. Last, I want to really thank you all for...

Great information to add to the table this weekend. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, that will all be on the table for discussion this weekend. I'm not sure I probably conveyed myself with plan B/C. Mich has a strong math and science program that has been proven to send kids to Nuke School (or so I've been told). Throughout high school, DS has excelled in at...

Being the wife of a submariner cannot be easy. I appreciate your insight and it is a breath of fresh air. As a parent it is a reminder and a pause. Everything he has achieved in HS won't matter moving forward anyway. The new goal prove that you can continue to excel under new challenges moving...

😆, you've got me! I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those and don't love the idea of having a child on one. He is an intelligent kid with a desire to serve. He got As in both honors and AP Physics, U of MN AB Calc, AP BC calc and ran out of advanced courses at his high school. He's been...

Thank you. I will!

I'm glade you chimed in, I always llvalue your advice. I agree with you on EVERYTHING in the last paragraph, that's where I find it hard to give advice. He has excellent opportunities available at the USAFA and USMA, but not subs. Choosing one of those, is closing the door on the thing he has...

Thank you. He said he reached out to admissions right away notifying them of a scholarship, I believe it was after that that he was waitlisted. I've gotten the impression, hopefully incorrectly, that admissions isn't very supportive of having any ROTC programs on campus. Thank you for your...
