1st session is best.
Son just found out he's not getting an appointment either, nor will he be wait listed. 34 ACT, 2060 SAT, 4.15 Weighted GPA, Eagle Scout, Summer Seminar, Marching Band, X-Country, lifeguard...and more! Definitely a bummer for him. Because of his high GPA and test scores, he won't be offered a Prep School slot or Falcon Foundation Scholarship either.
Good luck to the rest of you waiting!
If this will help. I am using hubbies account. My son is in great shape. Did above the mean on his CFA and academically has been in 33 honors and AP classes. He has won an AP scholar award for his AP scores. Leadership.....TONS....starting with Eagle with palms to directing school musical etc. It boils down to sports. He attended a private school in London while we were attache's at the American Embassy. He lettered in x crountry as a freshman and played JV baseball. This is the BAD part of being a military brat! We moved back to the states during his highschool. He joined the marching band for another diverse experience which eliminated cross country. Practices were at the same time. He felt it would be okay since he had already lettered. He would do baseball. Come spring he could not get on the Baseball team! Team had been groomed since the eighth grade! He kept busy with leadership to fill time. He could have abandoned the band and jumped right back into running but the band needed him. They would have been knocked out of their division and he was a brass player. My son couldn't let them down. That decision cost him. I know his integrity, he said last night, he would make the same choice knowing what he does now.
Good luck to all!
