Hi prepswimmom,
Yes, he was awarded NROTC at Notre Dame...NROTC actually chased him down for his paperwork, interviews, etc. He received scholarship shortly after finishing his app. That combined with some special invites and strong encouragement from USNA to get his app in asap leaves him and us scratching our heads. DS has elected to remain on the waitlist, emailed USNA to confirm, forwarded transcripts..again, and his principal sent a letter on his behalf.
We do not know who from our district, or NH received appointments.
Speaking to others we fear our BGO could be where the issue lies, some other strong candidates have been left behind that went through him.
Seems like a very bad year for Academy admissions on many fronts. I'm sure your DS will soar at ND - although my DH, a BC grad looks at ND as the EVIL EMPIRE. I don't share his outlook and wish your son every success.
