So, how is your Plebe Doing?

I would rate I-Day, PPW and Graduation as the best days for parents in that order. Then there was the wedding at the Chapel but that is another story.

Someone posted FB page that there were 1215 plebes reported at I Day but now 1205 and more are expected to follow.
Is this number ( 10 DOR in 3 weeks) normal compared to previous years?

Here's an article from 2014 on attrition rates:

Do you think, for your grad, "best" is reverse order?

So far, so great! All letters & both phone calls have been positive, humorous & sarcastic...which is 100% normal. We have received more mail than expected, probably due to the numerous black flag days. He has stayed healthy, other than a minor case of the hack, so I'm sure that helps. Since DD is attempting to follow DS there next year, the focus at home has been more on her and her "process", so the time is passing pretty quickly & easily...now if she's there this time next year with no kids left at home, it may be a different story Looking forward to PPW and the opportunity to sit back and listen to the two of them share stories.

Take out the wedding and yes for a Mid it would probably be reverse order.
