I am hoping some of the voices of experience can help us out here...
My son (who received an appointment offer in mid-January) had decided to go to a CVW in March. (Although his decision to apply was not of especially long standing, his parents think that there is about a 100% chance that he will accept!)
Then he got a call from his BGO. We only heard one side of the conversation, but the upshot was that my son came running in rather alarmed with the signed acceptance and looking for his birth certificate. His understanding was that he had to accept and send it back ASAP. He also said that the BGO indicated that the signed acceptance was "non-binding"?! Now we thought that he had until the end of April, at least..? Why would the BGO be urging him so strongly to accept now?
Since the USNA is a such a committment, it seems like he should go through the CVW at least before accepting. He was originally intending on handing in the signed acceptance on-site, after the visit. . Am I missing something here? Would appreciate any insights...
