My son got a letter (THE LETTER) this week informing him that he was not chosen for the class of 2015. For him, and us, it was heartbreaking to say the least! But we don't stay down . .
Right now it appears he'll be headed to a local community college starting this summer, looking to reapply to the CGA next year. This college is a great school (we live in an area with considerable technology enterprise and industry) with transfer programs established with major universities in and out of state. My son's goal is a degree in electrical or computer engineering, and that's what his initial course selections will reflect.
My question is what, in addition to 4.0 college, should he be doing during the period between high school graduation and reapplying to the Academy to further position himself as strong candidate.
Thank you.
