They're all pretty to me! Hey Boss - Since the CG photo was taken within the first few weeks, can you tell us again how many have dropped just to give us an idea on how this photo would look if taken today?

Just got an email on this...we are at 270...down one from the last report...original group was 307. Fortunately not many have dropped since the original swab summer DOR's and medicals.

Oh Hee Hee Taffy...There you are you little devil! We've missed your sick sense of humor around here lately. So how's it going? All the paper work finished and just waiting? Have you been to your nomination interviews yet? Fingers are still crossed for you. I swear I'm not un-crossing them until you hear something with either an Academy or your ROTC dream school. Kinda hard to type that way but by golly, I can do it! K. Now, go eat some carmels to get those braces worked loose so I can channel loc them off easier.

Not any notable changes then from the first numbers out. Good to go. Atleast the ones that are staying are locked on now. Makes my day!

nominations - both submitted (yes, "both"), no interviews yet.

usmma/uscga - need to do that stupid physical fitness test, then theyre ready to submit. I was thinking about sitting on them until december 23rd (when my first semester ends). This way I would have a 3.4 instead of a 3.3 GPA, and would have scores from both nov and dec SAT retakes. From what somebody just told me, it sounds like the later you submit, the lower you chances get, so I dono what to do now.

I would say that is not the case...apps are reviewed on a "rolling" basis so I wouldn't wait too long. But you have a great shot with your credentials and being a woman. Good luck!
