<p>I know the feeling, personally, I'm still waiting for the AFA's decision, but for WP, I received an appointment to their civil prep program. Even though I've been receiving letters from the commadont at WP, and I also received a leadership award at WP, it all looked very promising. still have faith, if the AF is really for your son, then reapplying next year, with a year of college/ROTC under his belt should get him in. And refer to my story in the previous post. I thought all was over for my AFA pursuit untill just a few days ago I received a nomination from the VP (even though my congressmen and senators didn't nominate me) so have faith. </p>
<p>Admissions at the service academies mroe than civilian schools (and ever the CGA) is a number game. A MOC can only have 5 pp at a service academy at once. They also have certain quotas they have to meet, it's really tricky, my RD+LOA tried explaining it to me trying to justify why I received a prep school appointment but it was really tricky.</p>
