Last night DS and I returned from the March CVW. Here are a few tips for those parents who'll be attending next month:
Friday you'll be kept busy from 0900 to approximately 1530. Bring your note pad, and your questions. You'll have access to Q&A sessions with parent sponsors, midshipman, and admission officers.
You'll also have a STEM briefing and lab deck tours (highly recommend.)
We were in Rickover Hall for all briefings. Sit as close as possible to the front as it is very difficult to hear from the back.
I'd suggest someone plagiarizing my March CVW thread. My DS and I were able to meet several families for an early dinner prior to Thursday evening reporting. My DS instantly connected with some amazing young men. I on the other hand, met some terrific parents from different states who I'll be able to keep in contact with during this crazy process.
Send goodies for your DS or DD's Plebe, bring a camera, and comfortable shoes to walk in.
Enjoy your time, and be prepared to take full advantage of the Q&A sessions!!!
