<p>Same year MIT sent out the golden ticket Dartmouth had an alumni hand-deliver to son a t-shirt to our home. Along with the packet, letter followed later. Earlier in the year Air Force Academy sent a Col. to the high school in full dress, pull son out of class an award him his appointment to their respective academy. USNA found out, flew son up for a 3-day visit and had the commandant hand him his appt. West Point had admitted him months earlier with a phone call from the commandant/senator/our local representative within minutes of his appointment being received at our home after an overnight delivery from fedex.</p>
<p>Son was overwhelmed and that is an understatement! The academies were sobering while MIT’s was fun with a note from the adcom and a heads up to our local TV station. Cal Tech’s was priority that year.</p>
<p>Time has flown!! And surprisingly some of son’s med school acceptance’s last year were just as overwhelming but wonderful!</p>
