Isn't it lovely how emotions come to the surface like this?
Anyway, I have a USMMA offer of appointment. Like others, my possibly options also include other service academies.
Like everybody else in the process, i went through the same paperwork, medicals, nomination processes, etc. In turn, i earned my appointment. I have until May 1 to decide what to do with it. Beyond that, it is nobody else's business. Mako has a point, if perhaps not the best way to say it.
KP2013mamadrama, I know you only want the best for your kid, and for the antagonizing wait to end. It's like that for everybody else. You aren't special in that respect.
I also happen to know that I am from your state (NY). As you might know, I am also waiting to hear from the USAFA and USNA. I hope I hear from them before May 1, so I don't have to accept the USMMA appointment, only to give it up later to go to said AFA or NA. Yet, I don't go around begging others in my state/district to give up their slot so that I can go. It's not right. I know you only mean well, but the implications of what you are saying say otherwise.
Just some food for thought.
PS: Best of luck to you and your DS.
