First of all congratualtions! Your wild ride has begun.

Each year the cycle of parents and applicants asking questions of how to apply to USNA continues. As participants on this forum we provide advice based on our average experiences and the general knowledge/rules as we know them. Your post just shows that there are rules and then there are exceptions to those rules. Your DS just won the lotto, tell him to go for it and don't look back.
 
Must admit that I've heard about "late" calls before, but this one may take the cake. Congrats!:thumb:
 
We still can't believe it.....

Our heads are still spinning. Thanks to all of your positive thoughts and well wishes. We leave tomorrow and I still can't believe it happened.
 
The wait is over.

TWE received today. We did figure that by Induction Day last week it was not going to happen though. :frown: Thankful that her Area BGO Coordinator did a great job in keeping her in the loop these last few weeks. We are very grateful for their communication and encouragement. Our DD does consider it an honor to have been considered for so long. She is looking forward to the next chapter in her life. She does plan to reapply too.

I (momma) wanted to thank the BGO and parents etc. on this Forum. Applying to a Service Academy is unique. Maybe especially more so for a family like us where no one has ever done so.

Many thanks :smile:
 
Given your DD was that close, she truly does have an excellent shot if she reapplies.

Of course, some folks discover along the way that their Plan B was even better than expected. Which is also a wonderful outcome.
