Hello momoftwins and aspen,

Thanks for your replies. My daughter is looking forward to her week at SLS. I think it will be an amazing experience for her. I'm guessing that after a week at WP the participants are not ambivalent about their decision to work towards a nomination to attend. It's either 'OMG I really want to attend West Point', or it's the quiet realization that WP is not the right fit for the student. Our family toured West Point when D was in 6th grade. I remember her just being quiet as we rode in the tour bus. But I also remember her coming home in 7th grade telling me that when a substitute teacher took a poll of the class asking where they wanted to go to college she said, "West Point".

Thanks for letting me know not to worry too much about the physical level of SLS. I will encourage her to prepare a bit more for it, but I won't push her. She will figure it out for herself once she gets there!

Congrats to you both as twinD and aspenS finish up their 3rd year at WP. Next year will be a busy one for all our kids as your kids begin their last year at WP and enjoylifeS and my D finish HS.

Thanks again for your replies!
