FedEx left the BFE on front porch and unfortunately our Labrador Retriever found it before our son did! Thankfully there was enough left to see that he did receive an appointment. Contacted Admissions Office and they are sending a replacement.

Congratulations to all who have received appointments and hoping everyone still waiting will hear good news soon. Just be sure to check the front porch before letting the dog out!!

Okay, I have to say that this made me truly LOL! :p
 
We never actually heard from our MOC, probably due to the changeover. The Letter was a very pleasant surprise! Still waiting to hear from USAFA and USNA, but the more he researched USMMA, the more he likes it and the year at sea aspect. The Swim Coach sent him a Christmas card in Dec, and we appreciated that personal touch. He also likes the many options after graduation...decisions, decisions.
My DS got notified via FedEx letter back on Monday, 13 Mar. Congressional nom, NC-2. He's also been offered 4-yr AFROTC scholarship, but KP is the way he's decided to go! Getting very excited and also overwhelmed by all the info to absorb. Looks like Indoc is 27 June, so here's to a short summer vaca then giddy up!

The Fedex envelope arrived on Thursday . Added #15 below. The assistant Men's Lacrosse coach called DS the following day.

DS has a decision to make in the next few weeks. Take the NROTC Scholarship to Maine Maritime Academy or accept the Appointment to KP.

*Updated to decline
I hope one of you guys gets my spot.:)
 
My son still remains undecided, but he already scheduled an appointment for his TWIC and he will be renewing his passport (expires 2019) once he completes the TWIC appointment. He said he "Wants to be prepared early if he decides to accept the appointment".

He also has a NROTC scholarship, so I am not ready to purchase a KP ball cap just yet, but his decision to get his TWIC seem to be leaning a certain direction. I have been trying to be very neutral and not influence his decision...but I did purchase "In Peace and War: A History of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point" from Amazon and gave it to him this week. :)
 
"In Peace and War: A History of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point"

A good read, but a little dry at times. If nothing else, it'll give you a sense of how important the USMMA Alumni Association & Foundation is to KP's existence.
 
**REMOVED**

Agreed. These parent groups are a wonderful source of information and support throughout your DS/DD's KP experience. Note that KP doesn't officially sanction or endorse any of these parent groups, so anything claiming to be, simply isn't.

Please be aware that the academy does not sanction, nor does it endorse, any of these parent groups. Any group claiming to be "KP Official" is simply misleading. There are several groups out there. I suggest you join them and see which provide the best information and support.

Since we received the information about the page (mentioned by kpskilegac in an earlier post) from the admissions office with the appointment for my son, that's the group we joined. They seem very knowledgeable and helpful and have lots of good information.
