<p>so it is completely impossible to get into WP without a nom?</p>
<p>Thanks again for the info</p>
<p>check this out tons of info on the waiting list up to buying boots before rday.</p>
<p>Nalcon: Yes you must have a nomination.</p>
<p>Read the USMA site material and the myriad of other published info. They will answer most of your questions.</p>
<p>Do y'all think the boots will be the black all leather ones even with the new ACU?</p>
<p>My son received his Letter of Assurance this week....has a Nom....basically waiting for DoDMERB clearance.</p>
<p>Letter also invites him to visit West Point....planning an overnight visit for next week.</p>
<p>DoDMERB clearance must be received by 15 April or the LOA will be withdrawn.</p>
<p>His Medical Exam was conducted by a contracted Civilian Doc and sent into Concorde a month ago, but has yet to show up as received on the DoDMERB web site.</p>
<p>Other than the DoDMERB web site, is there a phone number to call or a way to contact Concorde to make sure they haven't lost the Exam paperwork?</p>
<p>The main number for DoDMERB is 719-333-3562</p>
<p>Just received a call from our congresswoman--my son has been appointed to the USMA Class of 2010. This was his 3rd try--is in his second year in college in ROTC. The PAE gave him trouble his first two tries. Persistence pays.</p>
<p>Congratulations! I admire your son's persistence - there are few that have the dedication to reapply a 2nd time, much less a 3rd. Time to celebrate!!</p>
<p>Thank you Ann!</p>
<p>congratulations to your son! My son is still waiting and checking the mailbox.</p>
<p>I got "the call" from my congressman's office today. I should be receiving an appointment package next week :D</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>T-MAC! Dance to the music baby! Way to GO!! Now come down from the ceiling before you hurt yourself. Big Congrats to you! How much did you love that call? :)</p>
<p>mombo, </p>
<p>I'm don't know how I missed this. Congratulations to your son and a cyber high five for his persistence.</p>
<p>TMac,</p>
<p>Great news and congratulations to you! Will you be accepting?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>Jamzmom that had to be the best phone call I have ever received :)</p>
<p>momoftwins Most likely. If I get a waiver from the Naval Academy for my vision, then Ill have an extremely difficult choice to make. I'm going on a USNA candidate weekend visit next week and then going on one at West Point in March. Hopefully I will have made up my mind after the visits.</p>
<p>My son recieved a call from our Congressman's Office at school today.
That makes it two ( AFA & WP)! </p>
<p>Just a word of encouragement for those candidates that think their stats may not be good enough. My son has a 3.68 GPA, 4 on AP Bio, taking AP Chem and AP US History now. Ranked 90 in a class of 438.
SAT (CR 600, M 660, W 590, Essay 8) ACT (composite 31,English 30, Math 29, Reading 30, Science 33), Varsity Letters (2) CC & (3) Wrestling. Has never been a team captain or student gov.. Non school leadership is strong.</p>
<p>He is leaning toward AFA.
If he chooses AFA over WP, there will be room for one more. :) </p>
