So DS received his rejection notice yesterday. Admittedly we were a bit puzzled that it was a simple rejection. No waitlist no deferral. He was on a waitlist for the final Cadet for a Day this year. A spot opened up a week before the event. Airline tickets from New Orleans to Hartford with a weeks notice are not cheap to say the least. We decided it was worth is so he and his Mom went. Through some type of glitch, they had no idea he was coming. The academy did a great job of improvising and my DS and wife had a wonderful time and solidified DS's desire to attend. Two days after they returned home, DS received a call to set up an interview. He attended the interview and the report was one of the most glowing positive papers I've ever read. And then the rejection. We just wonder why they would want to interview him if he wasn't even close enough to defer, waitlist or CGAS? So, he is going to discuss his weak points with his AO and enroll in the local university and join ROTC and give it a try again next year.
