Very cool video. In the comments it says the footage is from 1998.That is amazing. I always wanted to see what actually happens during the final decision process. I wonder if they still use the green/red blocks? This seems like at lest 8 plus years ago.
Class of '77' guy that I knew at school and later through the years.I love how the one officer immediately
Been reading lots of discussion lately about WCS, merit based vs intangibles, debate about the process. Here is a peek, eye opening for me the first time I saw it. Thought it a timely post!! Thanks to @THParent for finding it!!
Minute 2:08 is the admissions piece.
I believe it is all done on computers now...that means each board members can have the candidateās information at their finger tips (i.e. see all SAT/ACT scores, view the scanned HS/college transcripts, bring up teacher recommendations, etc.). Also, each record is briefed by a board member while the other board members can glean over the data/information and then vote. I think each candidate record gets a couple (2-3) minutes...compared to a statutory promotion board of about one minute (max).
Remember, the posted video is a mock...Iām sure there was a lot of staging and over exaggerating of the āsampleā record.
I watched this 5 hours after DS got appointment notice. I bawled over and over. I am so excited for him, his older sister will deliver him for I day and we will go to ppw. Cannot do both. But man, knowing I won't witness I day in person is tough. I know he will be where his path has led him. Thank you for sharing it. Oh, and the 90's called, they want their hair styles back.
Thank you, and a forum member sent me a private message, it confirmed what my heart was telling me. I need to be at I Day. So, we will hustle and earn the ticket money. This forum is so helpful and everyone is so positive and supportive.Congratulations to your DS!!! You are in for an amazing ride!!!!! The four years fly by!
