Long Irritating Waiting Stage (LIWS)

I'm in the same boat Flyersboy. Just imagine how sweet it will be when March gets here. Good luck to all reading this. Whether I get an appointment or not, I know the class of 2013 is going to be a remarkable one.

Can I get an Amen brotha Eagle64?!

Maybe, maybe not. You may not have an answer by March.
This is the point I am trying to make. Everyone - well a lot - of folks on this board keep saying - "Wait until March" - you could be waiting after March.

As a parent - yes, I did endure my child waiting. As you guys go through your second semester - I understand you want your plans to fall into place. My daughter wanted to know what was going to happen as well.
I am just trying to give you guys a reality check. Some kids don't find out until much later.


While you are waiting -
keep your files updates. Send in your 8th semester transcripts as soon as they are available. If your school ranks at the end of the 7th semester, make sure that is on your transcript. Send in any awards or scholarships you win.
Assess your SAT/ACT - take them again, if necessary.
Schedule a Visit. If you are a USMA candidate - USMA loves candidate who visit.
Keep busy with sports and working out. Assume you will report and get/stay in shape.
Keep active in school, don't drop activities or sports.
If you are in AP classes - prepare well for your exams.
