<p>well i guess if we had the interest to seek out this forum, and check it religiously we deserve an appointment! ha</p>
<p>Just got my nomination from my great representative!!!</p>
<p>Add that to my LOA....and I'm completely in now!</p>
<p>Still nothing on my end. I called my counselor with the main reason to ask the status of my application, but disguised as asking about course selection for next semester (which i really needed advice on!).</p>
<p>Anyways she said my file still had not gone before the review board and was still circulating (*** the means...). However, she said she knows how (insert advanced word that means "how hard you've been working" but i forgot it) and she is going to go ahead and push my file to the front of the line for next week (so does that mean they only meet mon/tues or are taking wednesday off early for Thanksgiving?).</p>
<p>We talked for a few seconds, mainly her trying to assure me there is nothing more i can do. At the end i said something like "I want this so badly so im making sure everything is right." She replied..."Hmm...would you put that in an email and send it to me? If you get it to me by wednesday afternoon ill put it in your file ready for monday."</p>
<p>So hopefully that will mean something in the end...</p>
<p>falconhopeful06 - Way to go! That Thanksgiving turkey should taste all the better. Stay healthy and out of trouble.</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!</p>
<p>Not The Momma</p>
<p>snipper - keep bugging the heck outta them up there. Get your name known. HA! </p>
<p>And believe in the power of the Turkey. Find that wish bone and wish like you've never wished before! Its just one more thing you can do while you wait it out over the holiday. That and eat pie then nap......then eat more pie........</p>
<p>but make sure to run all that pie off before any kind of physical testing...:-D</p>
<p>I keep thinking I should call, but I don't have a clever cover story like yours. And it kinda feels like, at least the last few times I've called, I'm bothering her. I don't want to annoy her. </p>
<p>Should I call?? Help me, o clever ones.</p>
<p>You could always pull the "Im just checking to make sure everything is in and satasfactory. Nothing wrong? Anything i could add? Btw...do you happen to know the status of my application?"</p>
<p>If you havent called to much it shouldnt be a problem.</p>
<p>My counselor knows my voice! Usually its...</p>
<p>"Academy admissions, how can i help you?"
"Hi..."
"Oh hi patrick! "</p>
<p>Its quite humorous. We've gotten on conversations about her moving and selling her old house and how it compares me to applying to the academy.</p>
<p>No harm in asking. This year i am doing everything and anything possible... and sure as ***** its been working. Like today...i just wrote a nice letter explain how badly i want the academy. I left the part out that i'd become a terrorist if they didnt :-P</p>
