What 'back up' colleges did you apply to before choosing USNA?

My DS has been awarded a scholarship for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He also likes Georgia Tech. He received his LOA in early Oct and just completed 3 interviews, Congressman and 2 Senators. Almost PATIENTLY waiting.
 
My plan B was D3 football at either one of the NESCACS (Tufts or Williams) or Johns Hopkins. All of the coaches wanted me to apply ED so I decided not to do it. I applied to Georgetown, Maryland, University of Virginia, UMBC and University of Miami (FL)
 
My DD, now a plebe, (and currently boarding a bus for Philly ^proud dad flex) was accepted to Vandy and A&M Engineering, out of state, as well among others. Vandy was top choice after USNA. Very similar choices. Good luck!!!!!
Thanks! She got medical waivers granted today!! We are super excited for her! 3Q for USNA now! Our nominations come very late in this area...so we wait!
