Best of luck to you as well!Same boat here. I assumed I didn't get Menendez's but waiting on Booker until the end of the month. Good luck to you!
I don’t quite get it when an MOC decides to hold it until the last minute to make nomination announcement. In our case, USMA had been DS’s top choice, but he prefers to wait until his appointment shows up in the portal to start a more in-depth research. I kind of understand his reluctance in calling USMA alumni or driving a long way up for overnight visit, etc before an appointment is received.
On the other hand, DS has started digging deep into his other options by looking at curriculums and even designing his dual degree coursework, research, and summer activities. e.g. the more he learns about Princeton, the more he has been drawn to it. So there is a reason top notch schools do early admissions. USMA did a great job issuing LOAs as early as July. Unfortunately, the delays on the MOC’s part probably will cause USMA lose some good kids although I have no doubt USMA can always fill its class with the most qualified group of young people no matter what.
