My son recently decided to apply to USAFA and was promoted to Candidate Status on 12/2/19 and was given a final deadline of 1/15/20 to complete his application. Unfortunately, he has missed the deadlines from our state senators and district congressman for the nomination interviews. I understand deadlines are deadlines but wondering if anyone has been in this situation and if it's worth requesting consideration from our state and/or district leaders? Originally he was only going to apply for the ROTC scholarship but after a recent conversation with his oldest brother who is a Class of 2017 grad, he decided he would like to follow in his brothers footsteps at USAFA...just wish he had made this decision a bit sooner so not scrambling! Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.
